Sounds Electronic: New Sonic Mediations of Gender and Spiritual Empowerment
Sounds Electronic: New Sonic Mediations of Gender and Spiritual Empowerment
The world of electronic music has been dominated by male composers and artists from its origins in the 1930s up until relatively recently.Thanks to improved scholarship, media coverage, and activism by women's electronic music networks, the rapidly growing contributions of women now enjoy greater recognition.What remains underresearched is what creators and consumers believe about the capacity of new sound and music technologies to mediate the pe…
Religious Sounds Beyond the Global North: Senses, Media and Power
From Festive Sacred to Festive Secular? Indigenous Religious Presence in Two Nigerian Festivals
This article explores the modern-day festival as a timely site for analyzing the politics of indigenous cultural and religious presence in postcolonial and neoliberal Africa. Focusing on the ancient Osun Osogbo Festival and the newer Calabar Carnival and Festival in Nigeria, it raises broader questions of how indigenous religion gets reframed as culture, heritage, and tourist commodity for local, national, and international audiences. Attention i…
Movements, Pentecostal and Charismatic
The Anthropology of Global Pentecostalism and Evangelicalism
The phenomenal growth of Pentecostalism and evangelicalism around the world in recent decades has forced us to rethink what it means to be religious and what it means to be global. The success of these religious movements has revealed tensions and resonances between the public and the private, the religious and the cultural, and the local and the global. This volume provides an interesting perspective on what has become a truly global religious t…

Women, Rights Talk, and African Pentecostalism
In this essay, I seek to bring a rights perspective to women’s religious leadership and agency in Africa, notably in the case of the newer forms of Pentecostal-charismatic Christianity that now predominate in many parts of the continent. Rather than adopting a legal approach, I focus on the concept of “rights talk” which provides a more productive and inclusive way to approach ideas about women’s leadership in locally grounded (and often transnat…
Resonating with Sensational Movies
The review extols the merits of Birgit Meyer’s groundbreaking study of film and religion in Ghana as a model for future research on lived and public religion in diverse African settings. It also offers a critique of the book’s relative inattention to the sound effects of these popular video films, suggesting that there are resonant affinities between aural media, regimes of audibility, and the affective presence of the spiritual ‘beyond.’

The church of women: Gendered encounters between Maasai and missionaries - By Dorothy L. Hodgson
Religion and the Internet
Emergent scholarship on the most radical technological invention of our time confirms what most of us know from first-hand experience - that the internet has fundamentally altered our perceptions and our knowledge, as well as our sense of subjectivity, community and agency (see for example Vries, 2002: 19). The American scholar of religion and communications, Stephen O'Leary, one of the first scholars to analyze the role of the new media for reli…

Introduction: A ‘Curvature of Social Space’
Discourses of Demonization in Africa and Beyond
The work of those scholars who see an implicit relationship between religion and violence has of late assumed greater prominence and relevance. For example, in a recent volume entitled Religion and Violence, Hent de Vries states: '[v]iolence ... finds its prime model - its source, force, and counterforce - in key elements of the tradition called religious. It can be seen as the very element of religion. No violence without (some) religion; no rel…

Thirty Years of Growth and Change in a West African Independent Church-a Sociological Perspective
Thirty years is not a long time in the history of a religious group, even in the case of the African independent churches whose phenomenal growth over the last century continues to attract attention from the corridors of academic, ecclesiastical and political power. However in thirty years a religious group can undergo a transformation, not least the independent churches which are particularly characterized by their 'mobility' and 'movement'.2 It…
