Newman and the power of conviction
Newman returned again and again to reflect on the nature of conviction. The very process of ongoing reflection was itself fundamental: the cultivation of a contemplative cast of mind open to complexity and diversity, and resistant to relativism. Attention to such a way of thinking was the safeguard of integrity and a check on solipsistic individualism. This was crucial for the interrelationship between thought and action, and the functioning of a…
De-mystifying Buddhist religious extremism in Myanmar
Myanmar’s path to democracy, freedom and development has been marred by emerging Buddhist religious extremism targeted against the Rohingya Muslims. This article examines the rise of Buddhist religious extremism in Myanmar. Its core focus is on the political economy of state-building and development, and the structural and social conditions that have produced violence. We argue that contested state-society relations, negotiated by the discourse o…

Your Place or Mine? Environmental (In)justice in Myanmar and Australian Activism
In 2012, a battle raged in northern Western Australia in Australia between the multinational Woodside Petroleum, local Aboriginal people and environmentalists. Woodside was developing a $35 billion liquefied natural gas project. Opponents were determined to save an iconic site from desecration and protect local flora and fauna. In 2013, Woodside abandoned the project with activists claiming victory. But Woodside had merely shifted its focus, to a…
Introduction
Shifting markers of identity in East London's diasporic religious spaces
This article discusses the historical and geographical contexts of diasporic religious buildings in East London, revealing - contrary both to conventional narratives of immigrant integration, mobility, and succession and to identitarian understandings of belonging - that in such spaces and in the concrete devotional practices enacted in them, markers and boundaries of identity (ritual, spatial, and political) are contested, renegotiated, erased, …

Rescripting Religion in the City
Rescripting Religion in the City explores the role of faith and religious practices as strategies for understanding and negotiating the migratory experience. Leading international scholars draw on case studies of urban settings in the global north and south. Presenting a nuanced understanding of the religious identities of migrants within the 'modern metropolis' this book makes a significant contribution to fields as diverse as twentieth-century …
Cities of God
The history of archaeology is generally told as the making of a secular discipline. In nineteenth-century Britain, however, archaeology was enmeshed with questions of biblical authority and so with religious as well as narrowly scholarly concerns. In unearthing the cities of the Eastern Mediterranean, travellers, archaeologists and their popularisers transformed thinking on the truth of Christianity and its place in modern cities. This happened a…
Wounding and Healing
Setting oral histories conducted with a group of female Christian migrants to East London from various backgrounds and different stages in the life cycle alongside interviews with male migrants and non-migrant women, this article seeks to explore the relationship between gender, mainstream religious affiliation and the negotiation of the migratory experience. Informed by mimetic and feminist theory on religious subjectivities, the article focuses…

Miraculous Images and the Sanctification of Urban Neighborhood in Post-Medieval Italy
In Liguria, in northern Italy, religious images (usually of the Virgin Mary) dating from the medieval and early modern period continue to be the focus of local cults that create a powerful spiritual sense of neighborhood through common visual references. Their histories are often complex, at certain times involving the defense of local interests against outsiders, sometimes serving as a focal point for the reconciliation of disputes. Some local c…
The Virgin Mary and the People of Liguria
We begin with an image, and a story. Explanation will emerge from what follows. Figure 1 depicts a huge wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, once the figurehead on the prow of a ship, but now on the high altar of the church of Saints Vittore and Carlo in Genoa, and venerated as Nostra Signora della Fortuna. On the night of 16-17 January 1636 a violent storm struck the port of Genoa. Many ships were wrecked. Among them was one called the Madonna dell…
The Gospel of Work and the Virgin Mary
When, in 1904–5, Max Weber published his famous essay on The Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism’, he set out to explore the reasons for an affinity, the existence of which was a commonplace in large parts of Europe and North America. Whilst the literature on the strengths and weaknesses of Weber’s thesis is vast, much less attention has been paid to the contours of the mid to late nineteenth-century debate out of which his interest dev…
Whose logic? Reflections on gender in the history of ideas
The paper challenges Bevir's failure to engage with issues of gender in his attempt to establish a logic of the history of ideas. It argues that this exclusion both compromises his claim to have articulated a comprehensive (and inclusive) logic, and suggests the limitations of his model as a way in which we might bring greater subtlety and texture to the understanding of history

The Age of Atonement
Gold and the Gospel’
In 1864, Lord Shaftesbury spoke out against the complacency of those who congratulated themselves on the liberality of the nation. He looked back to the Irish famine, the Indian famine, the Crimean War. ‘The newspapers were loud in bepraising the munificence of the country in all those cases; but I confess I never saw any munificence.’ The first half of the nineteenth century had seen the formation of a multitude of philanthropic enterprises, Bib…
