Soft cover. Zustand: New. In twenty-first century India, "religious sentiments" are often in the news. Bollywood films are said to wound them. So are tweets, political cartoons, Netflix shows, stand-up comedy routines, and scholarly books. Most of these controversies hinge on the interpretation of a single law: section 295A of the Indian Penal Code, concerning insults intended to outrage "religious feelings." Slandering the Sacred explores the cultural, intellectual, and legal pre-history of this law, moving between colonial India and imperial Britain, as well as between secular law and modern religion. It shows us how the history of law and religion is intricately connected to an idea of the intimate. What this book provides is an unexpected history which anchors a much larger inquiry into secularism and empire, insult and affect, outrage and free speech. In the words of one reviewer, "J. Barton Scott has written a book as witty as it is scholarly. Slandering the Sacred is an enthralling and colourful history of a law, a page-turner about a penal code.".…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A history of global secularism and political feeling through colonial blasphemy law. Why is religion today so often associated with giving and taking offense To answer this question, Slandering the Sacred invites us to consider how colonial infrastructures shaped our globalized world. Through the origin and afterlives of a 1927 British imperial law (Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code), J. Barton Scott weaves a globe-trotting narrative about secularism, empire, insult, and outrage. Decentering white martyrs to free thought, his story calls for new histories of blasphemy that return these thinkers to their imperial context, dismantle the cultural boundaries of the West, and transgress the borders between the secular and the sacred as well as the public and the private.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Although blasphemy is as old as religion itself, its history has begun a new chapter in recent years. Slanders of the sacred are everywhere, as in the highly visible Charlie Hebdo case, with 'religion' sometimes appearing as little more than a membrane for giving and receiving offense. Where some explain the contemporary preoccupation with blasphemy by pointing to the interconnectedness of twenty-first-century media, J. Barton Scott argues that we need to look deeper into the past at the colonial-era infrastructures that continue to shape our globalized world. Slandering the Sacred examines one such powerful and widely influential legal infrastructure: Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code. What would it look like to take Section 295A as a text in, of, and for religion-a connective tissue interlinking multiple religious worlds To answer this question, Scott explores the cultural, intellectual, and legal pre-history of this law, moving between colonial India and imperial Britain as well as between secular law and modern religion. Section 295A reveals a set of problems with no easy solution. It places a chill on free speech, extends the power of the state over civil society, and exacerbates the culture of religious controversy that it was designed to fix. The legislators who enacted the law foresaw the damage it could do and they enacted it anyway, as a half-despairing measure to curb injurious speech. Their problems are still our problems. The twenty-first century has compounded modernity's free-speech headache. Section 295A opens a useful window onto these problems precisely because it is a problem, too. Its history is a tale about the afterlives of the holy dead, the legal definition of the anglophone category 'religion,' and the transmissibility of outrage as bureaucratized affect'.…
