| Abstract | "How do people make sense of their past, and look forward into their future, through practices - religious, spiritual or otherwise - in places of both modernity and political trauma? This volume investigates how political, social, and individual temporal and historical horizons generated and/or reformulated in relation to embodied, material, and ideological/teleological contexts. It also considers how this history-making projects itself onto imagined futures or alternative historical lines and how temporal continuities and discontinuities are created"-- Provided by publisher. |
