Quand des anthropologues, des historiennes et des psychologues investissent le thème des transgressions corporelles et symboliques cadrées par des rituels avec un nouveau regard, le résultat peut surprendre. C'est ce que fait ce livre qui se sert notamment des outils venant des approches queer. Le cadrage religieux, mythique ou cosmologique qui organise l'expérience de l'ambiguïté? (des pratiques, des catégories), permet de voir dans les transgressions de normes genrées des choix et non seulement des punitions ou des déviances tolérées. En traitant de cas éloignés du point de vue de leur contexte historique et culturel – des biberons antiques, des eunuques romains et indiens, des travestis urbains contemporains, un portrait médiéval, le culte d'une prostituée de la Rome antique, les images d'enfants dessinant Dieu – les différentes études rassemblées dans ce livre présentent la manière dont des pratiques sexuelles et corporelles transgressent l'ordre social et sont cadrées par des registres religieux, rituels ou queer qui se proposent comme cadre alternatif à l'ordre habituel.

In this book, Paul K. Moser offers a new approach to religious experience and the kind of evidence it provides. Here, he explains the nature of theistic and non-theistic experience in relation to the meaning of human life and its underlying evidence, with special attention given to the perspectives of Tolstoy, Buddha, Confucius, Krishna, Moses, the apostle Paul, and Muhammad. Among the many topics explored in this timely volume are: religious experience characterized in a unifying conception; religious experience naturalized relative to science; religious experience psychologized in merely psychological phenomena; and religious experience cognized relative to potential defeaters from evil, divine hiddenness, and religious diversity. Understanding Religious Experience will benefit those interested in the nature of religion and can be used in relevant courses in religious studies, philosophy, theology, Biblical studies, and the history of religion.

All religions describe spiritual experience as pleasant, and the goal of the religious pursuit as profoundly joyful. But many religions also condemn sensory pleasures and the desire for objects of pleasure. In this book, Ariel Glucklich resolves this apparent contradiction by showing how religious practices that instill self-control and discipline transform one type of pleasure into the pleasures of mastery and play. Using historical data and psychological analysis, he details how the rituals, mystical practices, moral teachings, and sacred texts of the world's religions act as psychological instruments that induce well-being. Glucklich also shows that in promoting joy and pleasure, religion also strengthens social bonds and enhances an individual's pursuit of meaning.
