The book begins by developing a spatial methodology to analyse secular and post-secular religious relations. The spatial approach is then applied to a particular case, that of the left hand. Our understanding of this sinister but intimate 'other' draws on a wide range of ideas, from different religious traditions to alternative paths to salvation and self-realisation...
This book investigates the spatial dimensions of religious and secular relations, proposing a novel methodology for analysis. It begins by developing a spatial methodology to analyze secular and post-secular religious relations, then applies this approach to the specific case of the 'left hand,' exploring its symbolic and cultural significance across various traditions and concepts of salvation.
The book offers a unique spatial methodology for understanding religious and secular interactions, applying it to the culturally charged symbol of the left hand. Its interdisciplinary approach draws from religious studies, sociology, and cultural theory to explore concepts of salvation and self-realization. The analysis of the 'left hand' as an 'other' provides a specific, intimate focus for the broader theoretical framework. This work is likely to appeal to scholars interested in the sociology of religion and the cultural significance of spatial metaphors.
