It seeks to interrogate how digital Hinduism has been shaped in response to the dominant framing of the religion, which has often relied on postcolonial narratives devoid of context and an overemphasis on the geopolitics of the Indian subcontinent post-partition. From this perspective, this volume challenges previous frameworks of how Hinduism has been studied, particularly in the West, where Marxist and Orientalist approaches are often ill-fitting paradigms to understanding Hinduism. This volume engages with and critiques some of these approaches while also enriching existing models of research within media studies, ethnography, cultural studies, and religion.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 161mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 445gBook Series: Explorations in Indic Traditions: Theological, Ethical, and PhilosophicalRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
