Exploring the intersection between religion, gender and sexuality within the context of everyday life, this volume examines contested identities, experiences, bodies and desires on the individual and collective levels. With rich case studies from the UK, USA, Europe, and Asia, Religion, Gender and Sexuality in Everyday Life sheds light on the manner in which individuals appropriate, negotiate, transgress, invert and challenge the norms and models of various religions in relation to gender and sexuality, and vice versa. Drawing on fascinating research from around the world, this book charts central features of the complexities involved in everyday life, examining the messiness, limits, transformations and possibilities that occur when subjectivities, religious and cultural traditions, and politics meet within the local as well as transnational contexts. As such, it will be of interest to scholars of sociology, anthropology, geography and cultural studies examining questions of religion and spirituality, gender and sexuality, and individual and collective identities in contemporary society.

I Kultur, människa, möte visar författarna hur kulturella gränser skapas i möten mellan människor i dagens mångkulturella och föränderliga värld. De har ett brett humanistiskt perspektiv och beskriver hur gränser skapas och upplöses i mötet mellan människor vad gäller kultur, religion eller etnicitet. Det humanistiska perspektivet bryter upp dikotomin mellan individ och kollektiv, mellan inre och yttre, och söker i stället beröringspunkter. Begreppet kultur används för att belysa olika sidor av de meningsskapande relationerna mellan människan och den mångfald som omger henne.Boken erbjuder redskap för fördjupad förståelse av kulturmöten och visar hur vi kan se på bristande kommunikation, stereotyper och fördomar. Övriga teman som tas upp är bland annat globalisering, symboliska tolkningar och moralfrågor i relation till kulturmöten. Denna andra upplaga av en sedan drygt tio år använd och uppskattad kursbok är genomgående bearbetad och uppdaterad.Kultur, människa, möte riktar sig främst till studerande på kurser om kultur, kulturmöten och interkulturell kommunikation vid universitet och högskolor.
