Geographies of Postsecularity

Re-envisioning Politics, Subjectivity and Ethics

Beschreibung

This book offers new insights on the concept of postsecularity and the associated idea of the postsecular city and public sphere. It provides a detailed account of how emergent postsecularity co-produces key spaces and subjectivities in contemporary urban life, as well as addressing criticisms levelled towards the concept of the postsecular. Though innovative empirical accounts, this book offers an in-depth examination of the 'who' and the 'what' that are created by the conditions of postsecularity. The book explores essential preconditions for the spaces and subjectivities of postsecular partnership, such as shared citizenship, tolerance, reflexive transformation and crossover narratives.
