Religious Bodies Politic examines the complex relationship between transnational religion and politics through the lens of one cosmopolitan community in Siberia: Buryats, who live in a semiautonomous republic within Russia with a large Buddhist population. Looking at religious transformation among Buryats across changing political economies, Anya Bernstein argues that under conditions of rapid social change—such as those that accompanied the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, and the fall of the Soviet Union—Buryats have used Buddhist “body politics” to articulate their relationship not only with the Russian state, but also with the larger Buddhist world. During these periods, Bernste...

A 'Viking istennők és látóasszonyok' egy nagyon fontos szálat próbál követni az ó-skandináv világ ránk maradt emlékeiből: az asszonyokét, akik hallották az isteneket, értették az üzeneteiket, és akiknek hatalmában állt megváltoztatni, befolyásolni mások életét. A legendák istennőinek, papnőinek és látóasszonyainak történetei az elfelejtett asszonyi hagyományokból adnak ízelítőt. A szerzők a 'vízió örökségének' nevezik mindazt, amit ez a múltbéli világ hátrahagyott, ahol a mágia nemcsak természetes volt, de nélkülözhetetlenül hozzátartozott a normális hétköznapi élethez. Talán nem teljesen idegen ez a mai asszonyoknak sem, különösen azoknak lehet ismerős, akik álmodnak, megérzenek néha dolgokat vagy esetleg belül meghallanak olyasmiket, amik racionálisan megmagyarázhatatlannak tűnnek. Ezt az örökséget próbálja felkutatni a 'Viking istennők és látóasszonyok' az északi jeges vidék által megőrzött sagákból merítve.
