Presence and Life in the Work of Hans Belting
Hans Belting’s most well-known study, Likeness and Presence: A History of the Image Before the Era of Art, originally published in German, in 1990, became indispensable to me at a crucial moment, b
The Limits of Meaning: Case Studies in the Anthropology of Christianity
Too often, anthropological accounts of ritual leave readers with the impression that everything goes smoothly, that rituals are "meaningful events." But what happens when rituals fail, or when they seem "meaningless"? Drawing on research in the anthropology of Christianity from around the globe, the authors in this volume suggest that in order to analyze meaning productively, we need to consider its limits. This collection is a welcome new additi…

Chapter 2 Strategic Secularism: Bible Advocacy in England
Word, Image, Sound
This essay introduces the special section “Word, Image, Sound,” a collection of essays on public religion and religious publicities in Africa and South Asia. The essays cover case studies in Myanmar, Zambia, Senegal, Rwanda, and Egypt. The introduction situates the essays in relation to the broader fields of work on the public sphere and publics, especially as they relate to recent work in the human sciences that focus on materiality, the senses,…
Some moods and modes of enchantment in the human sciences: On the Troublesome Dead
This article explores the ways in which the dead trouble the otherwise strong commitment in the human sciences to the centrality of cultural and historical specificities. Focusing on the work of the anthropologist, Katherine Verdery, and the historian, Thomas Laqueur, the article considers how they deploy the concept of 'enchantment' to make sense of, or, at least, room for, what they see as the special qualities of the dead body, when it comes t…
A Problem of Presence: Beyond Scripture in an African Church
The Friday Masowe apostolics of Zimbabwe refer to themselves as "the Christians who don't read the Bible." They claim they do not need the Bible because they receive the Word of God "live and direct" from the Holy Spirit. In this insightful and sensitive historical ethnography, Matthew Engelke documents how this rejection of scripture speaks to longstanding concerns within Christianity over mediation and authority. The Bible, of course, has been …
The Anthropology of Death Revisited
This article brings together classic work in the anthropology of death, much of which focused on funerary rites, with more recent studies, some of which continue with the classic focus and some of which introduce distinct views and problematics. The anthropology of death has become a capacious field, linking to broader debates on violence, suffering, medicine, subjectivity, race, gender, faith, modernity, and secularity (among others). In much of…
T urner, E dith (1921–2016)
Edith Turner was an anthropologist of religion who conducted research in many parts of the world from the 1950s onwards. Best known for her contributions to the study of pilgrimage, ritual, and spiritual healing, she approached anthropology not so much as a discipline but as a way of life, refusing to maintain the self/other divide that characterizes the more orthodox approach
How to Think Like an Anthropologist
On Atheism and Non-religion: An Afterword
We all have our conceptual bugbears, terms which, as anthropologists, cause us trouble. Over the past couple of years, an increasing number of anthropologists working in the anthropology of religion have had to face some newly prominent ones: atheism, godlessness, and (worst of all) non-religion
Secular shadows: African, immanent, post-colonial
Almost none of the critical theory concerned with the secular addresses it in relation to sub-Saharan Africa. This is notable not least given the extent to which other post-colonial regions, such as North Africa and South Asia, are central to such discussions. It is not, however, that the critical theorists are ignoring Africanists' work; indeed, looking at the Africanist literature in any depth makes it clear that there is not, and has never bee…
The coffin question: Death and Materiality in Humanist Funerals
This article examines the significance of coffins in contemporary humanist funerals in Britain. It argues that despite humanism's philosophical commitment to non-belief in an afterlife, the coffin nevertheless retains a powerful material presence in humanist funerals. Drawing on ethnographic research, the article explores how the coffin acts as a focal point for complex and sometimes contradictory emotions and ideas about death, the body, and rem…
Good without God: Happiness and pleasure among the humanists
In this article, I explore conceptions of happiness and pleasure among secular humanists in Britain. Based on fieldwork among members of the British Humanist Association, and its associated local groups, I argue that happiness for the humanists is both the promise and demand of enlightenment, of an appeal to reason over and against what they see as the irrationality of religion. For them, happiness and pleasure are subjective experiences, but the…
Christianity and the Anthropology of Secular Humanism
Secular humanists in the United Kingdom regularly think about, talk about, and act in relation to religion, especially Christianity. In this article, I address the relationships between secular humanism and Christianity by drawing on fieldwork with a local humanist group affiliated with the British Humanist Association. In line with many moderns, as indeed with many kinds of Christians, these secular humanists often want to sever ties with the pa…
God's Agents: Biblical Publicity in Contemporary England
"God's Agents" published on by University of California Press.
Angels in Swindon: Public religion and ambient faith in England
In this article, I introduce the idea of "ambient faith" in an effort to clarify the stakes in long-standing debates about public and private religion. I take as my starting point the increasingly common recognition that conceptual distinctions between publicity and privacy are difficult to maintain in the first place and that they are, in any case, always relative. The idea of "ambient faith," which I connect to work on the turn to a materialist…
The Cambridge Companion to Religious Studies
The Cambridge Companion to Religious Studies is both informative and provocative, introducing readers to key debates in the contemporary study of religion and suggesting future research possibilities. A group of distinguished scholars takes up some of the most pressing theoretical questions in the field. What is a 'religious tradition'? How are religious texts read? What takes place when a religious practitioner stands before a representation of …
Response to Charles Hirschkind Religion and transduction: Media, Mediation, Religion
The Semiotics of Relevance: Campaigning for the Bible in Greater Manchester
This is an article about an advertising campaign that ran in the Greater Manchester area, north of England, in May and June 2007, sponsored by the Bible Society of England and Wales, and aimed at stressing the relevance of the Bible to the general public for understanding today's world. One of the Society's assumptions was that the best way to do this was by appearing not-Christian: drawing on semiotic and aesthetic registers that drew from what …

Religion and the media turn: A review essay
In this review essay, I consider three recent collections, one edited by anthropologists, one by an art historian, and one by a philosopher, that reflect on what might be called “the media turn” in religious studies. I situate these collections in relation to broader trends and interests within anthropology, religious studies, and media studies, focusing in particular on the idea of religion as mediation, which involves, in part, a turn away from…
Past Pentecostalism: Notes on Rupture, Realignment, and Everyday Life in Pentecostal and African Independent Churches
Pentecostal studies has been one of the most vibrant areas of research in Africa for over twenty years, but is it time we started to look past Pentecostalism? Using some of the most important work in this tradition as a point of departure, this article offers both a critique of and supplement to the Pentecostal literature. It focuses in particular on how we should understand the relationship between Pentecostalism and African Independency by push…

Number and the Imagination of Global Christianity; or, Mediation and Immediacy in the Work of Alain Badiou
Studies on religion in philosophy and the human sciences have been focusing increasingly on the relationship between religion and media. In much of this work, a key concern has been to understand what constitutes mediation and, concomitantly, the lure of immediacy that drives some types of religiosity. In this essay, I link Alain Badiou's philosophy to this concern, examining in particular how his approach to number and appreciation for Saint Pau…

Discontinuity and the Discourse of Conversion
This paper focuses on the conversion narrative of a man in the Johane Masowe weChishanu Church, an apostolic church in Zimbabwe. Taking up recent discussions within anthropology on Pentecostal and charismatic churches, the author shows how apostolics talk about conversion as a distinct break with 'African custom'. It is argued that anthropologists of religion need to take such narratives of discontinuity seriously because they allow us to underst…
The problem of belief: Evans-Pritchard and Victor Turner on 'the inner life
Between 1993 and 1999 I spent 17 months in Zimbabwe studying the Johane Masowe Church, an African religious movement with roots in the Makoni District stretching back to the early 1930s. Like most other African independent churches, the Masowe Church lays great stress on spiritual healing, the eradication of witchcraft, and possession by the Holy Spirit (see Sundkler 1961, Comaroff 1985, Hoehler-Fatton 1996, Muller 1999). During the course of my …

The objects of evidence
By and large, anthropology's reflections on the concept of evidence have been couched within other discussions - on truth, knowledge, and related concerns. This essay, which introduces the special issue, makes the case that evidence deserves more considered attention in its own right. Drawing on the small but growing body of literature in social and cultural anthropology that does address questions of evidence, I situate the articles here in rela…
Text and performance in an African church: "The Book, "live and direct
In this article I examine textual authority and religious language in an African Christian church. Known as the Masowe weChishanu, members of this church refer to themselves as "the Christians who don't read the Bible." I focus on how religious language in Masowe ritual highlights the performative nature of religious authority. In particular, I show how prophets in the church denigrate the role of religious text by working to create a "live and d…

We Wondered what Human Rights He Was Talking About: Human rights, homosexuality and the Zimbabwe International Book Fair
This article addresses the recent debates on homosexuality and human rights in Zimbabwe, particularly as they relate to the controversy surrounding the Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe (GALZ) participating in the Zimbabwe International Book Fair. These debates highlight the problems inherent in talking about universal human rights when appeals to 'cultural difference' are made. In Zimbabwe, for example, critics of GALZ and homosexuality have tried t…

Reading and Time: Two Approaches to the Materiality of Scripture
In this article I examine Christian approaches to conceptions of time as expressed in approaches to reading the Bible. The first main focus in this effort is upon the work of Saint Augustine, whose arguments about the connections between reading and time have been, as I try to show, very influential. The second main focus is more ethnographic in nature, and comes from my work in Zimbabwe on a small group of apostolic Christians whose views differ…

The Early Days of Johane Masowe: Self-Doubt, Uncertainty, and Religious Transformation
In 1932 a young man called Shoniwa Masedza was working for a cobbler near Salisbury, the capital of Southern Rhodesia. Masedza had come from his home in Makoni, near the border with Portuguese East Africa, in the late 1920s. He had held a number of odd jobs in and around the capital: driving wagons, working as a 'garden boy,' apprenticing with a carpenter. Just after starting with the shoemaker, some time around May 1932, Shoniwa fell ill, suffer…

An Interview with Edith Turner
Introduction: The following interview is taken from a much longer life history conducted over the course of several months in 1997 as a project sponsored in part by the Historical Archives Program of the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. The original motivation for that project was to explore the life and writing of Edith Turner, her marriage to Victor Turner, and how the dynamics of gender and marriage affect the production of…

This is the first extensive study of the African Christian Roho religion, or Holy Spirit movement, in Western Kenya.

Introduction: Turner Special Issue
Books Can Be Deceiving: Edith Turner and the Problem of Categories in Anthropology
This article situates Edith Turner's first book, The Spirit and the Drum, in relation to feminist and postmodern work within anthropology. Drawing on each tradition, the author shows how Turner's work fits easily into neither, suggesting, rather, that such categorizations fail to capture the richness and depth of the work

Materiality
Sticky Subjects and Sticky Objects: The Substance of African Christian Healing
Throughout history and across social and cultural contexts, most systems of belief-whether religious or secular-have ascribed wisdom to those who see reality as that which transcends the merely material. Yet, as the studies collected here show, the immaterial is not easily separated from the material. Humans are defined, to an extraordinary degree, by their expressions of immaterial ideals through material forms. The essays in Materiality explore…

Strategic Secularism: Bible Advocacy in England
This article focuses on the work of Bible 'advocacy' carried out by the Bible Society of England and Wales. It describes how the Society's first 'Campaign to Culture', held in Nottingham, highlighted the Bible as something that a secular public might recognize as a relevant and important source of ideas and issues, quite apart from its religious significance. As the author suggests, these campaigns can be seen as part of a strategic secularism—th…
