disClosure
a journal of social theory
issue 14: Religion and Identity
The role of religion in the production of identity is not just a =
question of significant philosophical or theological importance but is =
one that possesses intriguing political, economic, and social =
implications as well. Scholars have long sought to understand the =
processes of religious identification, especially how religion is used =
to create, mediate, and resist social change. Exercises of religious =
power, ranging from fundamentalist to syncretic practices, are integral =
to the construction of personal, familial, community and national =
identities. The editorial collective of disClosure seeks submissions =
that explore issues of identity and religion, particularly the =
relationship between spiritual beliefs and social practices, within both =
mainstream and esoteric theologies and across both contemporary and =
historical time periods.
