This course takes a cultural and theoretical approach and focuses on religion as it is experienced and practiced, both in everyday life and in special ritual contexts. We will explore religion through concepts such as space, time, power, material culture, ritual, and the body, and use these concepts to understand more deeply the logic and practices of spirituality and transformative experiences in a variety of religious contexts and traditions. Students will have the opportunity to use theoretical ideas developed in the class to analyze practices such as pilgrimage, altar-building, music, dance, meditation, mysticism, monasticism, body modification and pain, and the role of material culture and the body in religious experience.
