Drawing on ethnography, interviews, focus groups for adults and arts-based workshops for their children, Hickey-Moody takes a community-based approach to examining belonging, attachment, faith, belief and ‘what really matters’ in diverse areas. Each of the book’s research sites is geographically and culturally specific in ways that shape residents’ experiences of community and belonging, but they are united by enduring threads relating to colonisation, diaspora and negotiating belonging in culturally diverse contexts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExamining faith reveals that there are striking similarities between seemingly different cultures. Understanding these connections can reduce conflict and promote cohesion in communities that are often struggling to adapt to huge changes. This book provides rich resources for those who wish to explore faith and belief in complex social circumstances, either as research or as community engagement. In such increasingly divided times, work like this is needed now more than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Weaving between disciplines, methods, and interactive practices, Hickey-Moody expertly pulls the reader along several threads of the personal, the communal, the political, and the belief that there is \u003ci\u003ealways something more\u003c\/i\u003e. This is a work that enacts an ethos of radical, collective care, a richly descriptive work that never hides from its readers all of the living and breathing, all of the troubles and joys, of its own making.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregory\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e J. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeigworth,\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Professor of Communication Studies in the Department of Communication and Theatre at Millersville University\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1    Contexts \/ \u003ci\u003eComhthéacs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2    Faith: a new materialist approach \/ \u003ci\u003eCreideamh\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3    Mapping and making \/ \u003ci\u003eAg déanamh\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4    Affect and joy \/ \u003ci\u003eÁthas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5    Belonging \/ \u003ci\u003eMuintearas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6    Connections \/ \u003ci\u003eNaisc\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7    Incapacity \/\u003ci\u003e Neamhábaltacht\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8    Other worlds \/ \u003ci\u003eNeamhshaolta\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion \/ \u003ci\u003eConclúid\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041031881047,"sku":"9781526165244","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526165244.jpg?v=1750948677","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/faith-stories-sustaining-meaning-and-community-in-troubling-times-9781526165244","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
