{"product_id":"embodied-religion-von-alejandra-aguilar-ros","title":"Embodied Religion","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the way religiosity is embodied in  ritual performances in Catholic practices,in San  Agustín, a town in the State of Jalisco,Mexico.   Catholicism is an embodied religion, deeply concerned  with representing the body.This work will address  this concern by first presenting ethnographic  examples on how the leaders of the Church and the  inhabitants of this town produce representations of  themselves that colide with lived experiences.  Rituals such as processions, patronal feasts and a  pilgrimage will be followed afterwards, focusing on  the body, and the ways they are practiced, to produce  a complex identity that cannot be captured only with  representational images. It is an identity that uses  movement,aesthetics,performance,communication, regimentation and contested senses of community.  By pursuing these rituals, issues on community and  the making of identity appear to be more intricate  than just the fixed categories representation  produces. An analysis of the interaction between  representation and practice produces a way to  approach religion relating it to  cultural concerns and the creation of self and  community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843377836\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReligion and identity in a Mexican town\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843377836","offer_id":39497182380125,"sku":"9783843377836","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/bdc94abd-4c27-40ae-9d69-8666cbe91d4d.jpg?v=1757657371","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/embodied-religion-von-alejandra-aguilar-ros","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
