Paperback. Zustand: Fine. This book explores the evolution of a Shia Ismaili identity and crucial aspects of the historical forces that conditioned the development of the Muslim modern in late colonial South Asia. It traces the legal process that, since the 1860s, recast a Shia Imami identity for the Ismailis, and explicates the public career of Imam Aga Khan III amid heightened religious internationalism since the late-nineteenth century, the age of 'religious internationals'. It sheds light and elaborates on the enduring legacies of questions such as the Aga's understanding of colonial modernity, his ideas of India, restructured modalities of community governance and the evolution of Imamate-sponsored institutions, key strands in scholarship that characterized the development of the Muslim and Shia Ismaili modern, and Muslim universality vis-a-vis denominational particularities that often transcended the remits of the modular nation and state structure.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book explores the location of spirituality and mysticism in modern Indian religious and intellectual life. It examines select personalities and their ideas since the early twentieth century, their role in the interwoven spheres of socio-religious and political thought, and in burgeoning spiritual imaginaries, often at the intersection of academic and public discourse. As part of a global ecumene connected by affective bonds, these spiritual cosmopolitans often defied binary frameworks (East/ West; imperial core/ periphery; colonizer/ colonized), and in the upshot reappraised and recast the very concept of religion in response to overarching 'this-worldly' exigencies.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This collection brings together case studies that cover a wide spectrum: from Hindu, Buddhist, Jaina traditions through reformist ventures such as the Brahmos, to issues in modern Islam and Judaism. The first part of the book explores idioms of self-fashioning in global platforms and religious congresses. The second part explicates the nature of move­ments of such ideas. Cumulatively, they offer fresh and invaluable insights into their histories in modern South Asia against the backdrop of, and in relation to, wider transcultural global flows.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. A novel, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary contribution that critically examines histories of esotericism, mysticism and occultism in modern Asia, paving eventually the way for the so-called 'New Age'The seminal edited collection examines histories of esotericism, mysticism and occultism in modern Asia, understood here as the period roughly stretching from the late nineteenth through the twentieth century, and paving eventually the way for the so-called 'New Age'. The idea of 'histories', in plural, has to do with the complexities of their lineages, the many pathways through which their affinities, encounters and entanglements flowed and/or developed during the period under review. Contributors to the anthology hail from different disciplines - history, literature, religious studies and so forth - and broach the subjects from the vantage points of their fields. Their studies bring to the forefront the need to transcend the neatly demarcated, and frequently overdrawn and binary, idioms of East-West, colonizer-colonized, or modernity-tradition. By drawing upon case studies of individuals (esotericists/mystics/scholars), movements and/or networks (including but not restricted to Theosophy/Sufism/Sufis, for instance), and institutionalized academia (epistemologies of religion contra esotericism contra mysticism contra occultism, Eastern/Western/or otherwise), contributors to the edited collection bring out the many facets of these categories and processes in modern Asia. They examine how at times far from being counter-modern/peripheral/fringe escapist, these processes came to mark a less-explored side of modernity. Thus, systems of knowledge and frameworks conventionally rejected in triumphalist Enlightenment narratives often came up with their own understanding of modernity, humanity. They frequently endeavoured, through their politics of spirituality and transcendence, to lend voice to their critical commentaries on wider socio-political problems of the times. This edited collection examines esoteric, occult and mystical traditions and their politics of spirituality and transcendence in modern Asia against the larger backdrop of intra-Asian and global flows from a truly multi-disciplinary perspective. The anthology will be useful for postgraduate students, research scholars and academics in general, working in the fields of religious studies and/or Asian religions, history and philosophy of Asian religions. In addition, even those broadly interested in encounters across cultures and religions will also find this collection to be of great value. …
