Abstract:
Through his ethnographic study of the fishermen and their religious beliefs, Webster speaks to larger debates about religious radicalism, materiality, economy, language, and the symbolic. These debates also call into question assumptions about the decline of religion in modern industrial societies. Joseph Webster is Isaac Newton- Graham Robertson Research Fellow in Social Anthropology and Sociology at Downing College, University of Cambridge, UK.
