A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org.The Emergence of Modern Hinduism argues for the importance of regional, vernacular innovation in processes of Hindu modernization. Scholars usually trace the emergence of modern Hinduism to cosmopolitan reform movements, producing accounts that overemphasize the centrality of elite religion and the influence of Western ideas and models. In this study, the author considers religious change on the margins of colonialism by looking at an important local figure, the Tamil Shaiva poet and mystic Ramalinga Swami (1823-1874). Weiss narrates a history of Hindu modernization that demonstrates the transformative role of Hindu ideas, models, and institutions, making this text essential for scholarly audiences of South Asian history, religious studies, Hindu studies, and South Asian studies.

Hartmut Rosa nimmt mit seiner Theorie von Beschleunigung und Entfremdung vor allem hoch entwickelte westliche Gesellschaften in den Blick. Doch inwiefern lassen sich seine Überlegungen auch auf andere Gesellschaften übertragen? Welche beschleunigenden und entschleunigenden Kräfte kann es hier geben, was sind ihre Funktionen und was ihre Konsequenzen? Hassan Poorsafir stellt diese Fragen am Beispiel des Iran. Ausgehend von einer sozialhistorischen Analyse der iranischen Gesellschaft ab dem 19. Jahrhundert untersucht er die sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und politischen Verhältnisse des Landes im dynamischen Wechselspiel von Be- und Entschleunigung - und liefert damit eine spannende Erweiterung der Rosa'schen Theorie. »Ein umfangreiches und ambitioniertes Werk [...], das vor allem aufgrund der aufgeführten Detailinformationen zu wirtschaftlichen und politischen Entwicklungen im Kontext des allgegenwärtigen Modernisierungsparadigmas spannend ist.« Andreas Schulz, Mitteilungen der anthropologischen Gesellschaft in Wien, 149 (2019) Besprochen in: www.socialnet.de, 13.09.2019, Jos Schnurer

How Judaism and food are intertwined Judaism is a religion that is enthusiastic about food. Jewish holidays are inevitably celebrated through eating particular foods, or around fasting and then eating particular foods. Through fasting, feasting, dining, and noshing, food infuses the rich traditions of Judaism into daily life. What do the complicated laws of kosher food mean to Jews? How does food in Jewish bellies shape the hearts and minds of Jews? What does the Jewish relationship with food teach us about Christianity, Islam, and religion itself? Can food shape the future of Judaism? Feasting and Fasting explores questions like these to offer an expansive look at how Judaism and food have been intertwined, both historically and today. It also grapples with the charged ethical debates about how food choices reflect competing Jewish values about community, animals, the natural world and the very meaning of being human. Encompassing historical, ethnographic, and theoretical viewpoints, and including contributions dedicated to the religious dimensions of foods including garlic, Crisco, peanut oil, and wine, the volume advances the state of both Jewish studies and religious studies scholarship on food. Bookended with a foreword by the Jewish historian Hasia Diner and an epilogue by the novelist and food activist Jonathan Safran Foer, Feasting and Fasting provides a resource for anyone who hungers to understand how food and religion intersect.
