Social Formations of Wonder

Anthropology and Awe

Herausgeber: Timmer, Jaap; Tomlinson, Matt

Beschreibung

This book reveals how wonder works as an index of challenges to the known, the moral, the true and the real. The case studies show how probing wonder can bring us closer to understanding the union of social institutions. This book was originally published as a Special Issue of The Journal of Religious and Political Practice.
