{"product_id":"esotericism-mysticism-the-politics-of","title":"Esotericism Mysticism \u0026 The Politics Of By Mukherjee, S (ed)","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis invaluable anthology examines histories of esotericism, mysticism and occultism in modern Asia, understood here as the period roughly stretching from the late-nineteenth through the twentieth century, and paving eventually the way for the so-called ‘New Age’. The idea of ‘histories’, in plural, has to do with the complexities of their lineages, the many pathways through which their affinities, encounters and entanglements flowed and\/or developed during the period under review. The contributors hail from different disciplines – history, literature and religious studies, for instance and, in what accounts for a cutting edge of the book, provide truly multidisciplinary insights on the subject in one single volume. Their select case studies illuminate key aspects of contemporaneous socio-religious processes. They explicate how aspects of mysticism, esotericism and occultism were closely tied to wider socio-political and intellectual processes of the period that were at once transregional, even global, and frequently transcultural and\/or cosmopolitan in character. Postgraduate students, research scholars and academics in general working in the fields of religious studies and\/or Asian religions in modern times will find this collection to be of great interest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57583558263166,"sku":"NW9781839990427","price":72.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781839990427.jpg?v=1783335057","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/esotericism-mysticism-the-politics-of","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
