perspectives on religion, culture, and marginality Reimer, Stephen R. (Stephen Ray) 1955- Gay, David 1955- text bibliography Electronic books. abc 2010 monographic eng 1 online resource (xviii, 203 pages) : illustrations This collection examines the production and recreation of religious ideas and images in different times and locations, achieving a comparative perspective on the transmission of religious influences. The essayists look at contact and conflict between insiders and outsiders, centres and margins, Jews and Christians, Slavs and Greeks, and ancient ritual behaviours and modern television broadcasting, as part of the negotiation of new identity positions, relationships, and accommodations. The book combines the disciplines of literary studies, cultural studies, art history, religion, history, and critical theory, making it an important resource to a range of scholars as well as non-specialists.
