Urban Ecotheology in the Age of Technology
Challenges in managing public spaces in work unit communities in China
Public space management has gained rising attention across the world in recent years. However, existing studies have mainly focused on Western countries. The research on public space management in China is scarce. This paper investigates the issues and challenges associated with managing public space and how stakeholders deal with challenges that affect the effectiveness of public space management in the Chinese context. This qualitative research…
Bolsonarism, “Immanentist Pentecostalism,” and the Future of Religion and Politics in Brazil
This article introduces “Immanentist Pentecostalism” (IP) to analyse the complex relationship between Bolsonarism and (Neo)Pentecostalism in Brazil. Based on in- depth interviews in Belo Horizonte, IP is defined as a lived theology characterised by a direct, constant relationship with an immanent divine active in all worldly life. The ethnographic findings reveal the primacy of personal faith over institutional loyalty; overt political discourse …
Epistemic Ambivalence
This book delves into the complex relationship between religious imaginaries and the perception of space among followers of Candomblé and Pentecostal churches in Belo Horizonte, Brazil's third-largest urban agglomeration. It adopts a dual perspective, examining the broader political, economic, and social dimensions of these religious communities' urbanisation and spatial distribution and their members' individual beliefs and behaviours. Through t…
Spatial Reflections on Muslims' Segregation in Britain
The diversity of multicultural, multi-religious, and multi-ethnic groups and communities within Britain has created cohesion and integration challenges for different community groups and authorities to adapt to the current diverse society. More recently, there has been an increased focus on Muslim segregation in Britain in official reports and reviews. Those documents mentioned the Muslims' segregation (directly or indirectly) for various reasons…
The production of knowledge through religious and social media infrastructure
Following Robertson’s discussions on epistemic capital, the article analyses worldmaking procedures being used by members of one of the biggest neo-Pentecostal churches in Brazil – Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus. According to the popular narrative, social media, especially WhatsApp groups, contributed in a crucial way to the spread of sets of conspiracy theories aimed to question “established narratives” and creating an image of Jair Bolsonaro…
Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is a diverse city representing many different religions and nationalities. Recent government policy has actively promoted unity and cohesion throughout the city; and the country of Malaysia, with the implementation of a programme called 1Malaysia. In this book, the authors investigate the aims of this programme—predominantly to unify the Malaysian society—and how these objectives resonate in the daily spatial practices of the city’s …
Rudolf Otto’s ‘the Absolute Other’ and a radical postsecular urban contextualization
This article proposes an idea of radical urban contextualisation that follows Rudolf Otto’s discussion on an encounter with the Absolute Other. The article critically reviews current applications of postsecularism to urban theory formulated in a general framework of Jurgen Habermas’ intervention in the early 21st century. The article argues that contemporary postsecular urban theory cannot fully answer fundamental challenges that contemporary cit…
De-colonizing public spaces in Malaysia
This article discusses places and practices of young heterosexual Malaysian Muslims dating in non-private urban spaces. It is based on research conducted in Kuala Lumpur in two consecutive summers 2016 and 2017. Malaysian law (Khalwat law) does not allow for two unrelated people (where at least one of them is Muslim) of opposite sexes to be within 'suspicious proximity' of one another in public. This law significantly influences behaviors and act…
Holes in the Whole Introduction to the Urban Revolutions
This book seeks meaning and reasons for the existence of the city. It demonstrates the urgent need to define the city not as a territory of exploitation and resource for global corporations but as a self-governed subject
