    Abstract: Using the potential of place as an approach and of places as ethnographic contexts, the authors in this volume investigate the multiple entanglements of ‘religion’ and ‘modernity’ in contemporary settings. The guiding questions of such an approach are: How are modernity and religion spatially articulated in and through places? How do these articulations help us to understand the ways in which religion becomes socially and culturally significant in modern contexts? And how do they reveal the ways in which modernity unfolds within religion? Thus, places are not only understood as neutral locations or extensions, but as spatial modes to mediate properties, contents and processes of religion and modernity. Based on ethnographic and historical research in Southeast and East Asia and featuring reflections on the concepts of religion and modernity respectively, the authors offer a deeper understanding of the articulation of a religious modernity in these regions and beyond. Contributors are: Nikolas BROY¸ CHAN Yuk Wah, Michael DICKHARDT, Volker GOTTOWIK, Patrice LADWIG, Andrea LAUSER, Jovan MAUD, YEOH Seng-Guan, Clemens SIX, Paul SORRENTINO, Alexander SOUCY, Sing SUWANNAKIJ

    Abstract: "'The world today is as furiously religious as it ever was.' This quote from Peter Berger now appears to be undisputed in the contemporary social and cultural sciences. A look around the globe reveals that modernization does not necessarily lead to a decline of religion, neither in society nor in the minds of individuals.( ..) Southeast Asia in particular presents a rich field of inquiry into the dynamics of these "modernities" that have produced and shaped a wide variety of religious phenomena. With case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Vietnam, these contributions reveal contemporary religious practices in Southeast Asia as thoroughly modern manifestations of uncertainties, moral disquiet and unequal rewards in the contemporary moment."--Publisher's description

    Abstract: Haunted Thresholds untersucht die einzigartige Beziehung zwischen Spiritualität und Moderne in Südostasien. Als Ausstellung und Recherchearbeit bringt das Projekt Arbeiten von 15 Künstler/innen in einen experimentellen Dialog mit ausgewählten südostasiatischen Objekten aus der Ethnologischen Sammlung des Instituts für Ethnologie an der Universität Göttingen. Mit ihren eigenen ästhetischen Qualitäten, religiösen Bedeutungen und intellektuellen Reflexivitäten verweisen diese Objekte und Kunstwerke auf existierende immaterielle Kräfte, Geister der Ahnen und jenseitige Mächte im alltäglichen Leben. Haunted Thresholds ist ein Resultat der Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Kunstverein Göttingen und dem Forschungsnetzwerk Dynamiken von Religion in Südostasienʺ (DORISEA). Haunted Thresholds explores the unique relationship between spirituality and modernity in Southeast Asia. As an exhibition and a research process, the project brings works by 15 artists from the region into an experimental dialogue with ethnographic objects from the Ethnographic Collection at the University of Göttingen. With their own aesthetic qualities, religious meanings and intellectual reflexivity, both the objects and artworks reveal immaterial forces, ancestral spirits and otherworldy powers existent in the everyday. Haunted Thresholds is a cooperation between Kunstverein Göttingen and the research network Dynamics of Religion in Southeast Asiaʺ (DORISEA).
