It's Time to Talk About Abortion
While the breaking of silence on abortion is generally attributed to feminist mobilization, this essay argues that the popularization of female-centered narratives in the 1960s and 1970s contributed to a culture shift which played a crucial role in the legalization of abortion in France, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Depicting individual experiences of abortion through stories of women facing unplanned pregnancy and struggling to speak out, thes…

Bringing Krishna Back to India
The Hare Krishnas have long been associated with American hippie culture and New Age religious movements. But they have developed deeply rooted communities in India and throughout the world over the past 50 years. Known officially as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), this once-marginal religious community now wields vast economic assets, political influence, and a posh identity endorsed by Indian business tycoons and B…
Conclusion
The conclusion of this study considers ISKCON’s identity in India as a form of religious modernity, grounded in revising religion through refiguring devotees’ relation to family, religion, nation, and culture. ISKCON’s growth in Mumbai as a globalized religious organization demonstrates that local, lived religion in urban India today is intertwined with transnational networks, even alongside rhetorics of traditionalism. Today, this lived religion…
Introduction
The study of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has historically centered on its early North American communities. However, the most sustained growth of this transnational religious community over the past few decades has been in India. This book offers an account of one vibrant ISKCON community in the megacity of Mumbai, at the Radha Gopinath temple in Chowpatty. The introduction situates ISKCON’s formation in urban Ind…

Although many Hindu communities today foreground women as religious authorities, some lineages officially recognize only men as gurus and renouncers. If official models of religious authority are gendered masculine, what space do women have to embody holiness? This article investigates this question with reference to women in the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), a transnational religious organization that has developed pr…
Désirée et Alain Frappier, Le Choix
Réédité en 2020 par Steinkis, Le Choix fut initialement publié en 2014, à l’occasion des quarante ans du vote de la loi Veil portant sur l’interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG).

La maison d’édition Steinkis pro…

Marina Lambrou, Disnarration and the Unmentioned in Fact and Fiction
In the wake of the narrative turn in social sciences, Marina Lambrou’s publication explores the dark continent of narratology: disnarration. As she analyses the stylistics of the unmentioned in various storytelling forms – from newspaper articles to Victorian novels and contemporary films – the Kingston University professor seems to agree with semiologist Roland Barthes’ now-famous statement: “The narratives of the world are numberless. Narrative…
