This anthropological work thoroughly illustrates the novel synthesis of Christian religion and New Age spirituality in Greece. It challenges the single-faith approach that traditionally ties southern European countries to Christianity and focuses on how processes of globalization influence and transform vernacular religiosity. Based on long-term anthropological fieldwork in Greece, this book demonstrates how the popular belief in the ‘evil eye’ produces a creative affinity between religion and spirituality in everyday practice. The author analyses a variety of significant research themes, including lived and vernacular religion, alternative spirituality and healing, ritual performance and religious material culture. The book offers an innovative social scientific interpretation of contemporary religiosity, while engaging with a multiplicity of theoretical, analytic and empirical directions. It contributes to current key debates in social sciences with regard to globalization and secularization, religious pluralism, contemporary spirituality and the New Age movement, gender, power and the body, health, illness and alternative therapeutic systems, senses, perception and the supernatural, the spiritual marketplace, creativity and the individualization of religion in a multicultural world.

Introducing and disseminating ´transreligiosity´, this open access book explores the term as a novel concept and tool in religious studies and the anthropological and social scientific study of contemporary religiosity. Through this Eugenia Roussou and Anastasios Panagiotopoulos provide academics and the wider public with an epistemological, analytic and ethnographic basis for a variety of religio-spiritual phenomena. ‘Transreligiosity’ has the ability to variably account for the elastic and transgressive quality of borders, between what may be considered as religious and spiritual, as well as among different religio-spiritual views, practices and ´traditions´.Gathering a range of ethnographic cases, the book explores ways in which ´transreligiosity´ is exemplified, both in its contextual particularities and in its encompassing reach as a broader analytical term. While considering transreligious phenomena as occurring in a wide span of space and time, contributors also highlight its increasing presence in contemporary societies around the globe, importantly including ‘the West’. Framed in the contexts of crises and post-crises, including the pandemic of covid-19, case studies identify a ‘return’ to a more transgressive attitude towards religiosity, which seeks to bypass official institutions, especially religious and medical.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
