Hebrew, Hebrews, Hubris
This thought experiment in comparison ponders a Black man's conviction that his Hebrew identity would make him immune to COVID-19. Surfacing the history of the claims and the scholar's own suspicions, the paper examines the layered politics of identification. Contra an essentialist understanding of the terms, "Hebrew" and "Hebrews" are shown to be classificatory events, ones imbricated in the dynamics of racecraft. Furthermore, a contextualizatio…

The English Cult of Domenico Scarlatti
THE long popularity of Domenico Scarlatti's harpsichord music in England may well be accounted one of the most curious things in our very curious musical history. Unlike Bach, he has never needed a Mendelssohn or a Samuel Wesley to re-discover him; unlike the Virginalists, he has never had to wait for a radical change of taste to dispel more than a century's ignorance and misunderstanding: on the contrary, the reputation he gained here during his…

Locating Value in the Study of Religion
Religious studies courses frequently justify their existence with the rhetoric of “value.” While appeasing the socio-economic concerns of college boards, this undermines the work of more critical approaches under the field’s big tent. The following paper responds to this disconcerting trend by casting religious studies as an analytical discipline that takes “evaluation” as its object of study. It details a way of navigating the critical turn usin…
The Spooky Politics of Dark Truths
As social theory garners cache in departments of Religious Studies, scholars find themselves unclear about how to address the notion of truth. This paper approaches truth as an opportunity to explain the role of truth-claims in erecting and razing social boundaries. It begins by reframing or “signifying on” Alan Race’s typology of exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism in order to register social formations rather than soteriological criteria. T…
Scared Sheetless
The ideology of white supremacy is alive and well in the U.S. This paper argues that those attempting to understand how white supremacy works should delve into recent justifications of anti-black violence rather than simply waiting to spot the white sheets of the Ku Klux Klan. Doing so requires scholars to disabuse themselves of taking for granted the descriptions of what may be characterized as a U.S. Christian-White imaginary and to observe the…

Christopher Cotter and David Robertson of The Religious Studies Project

Racial profiling
Leaders in the American Academy of Religion have committed the guild to resisting the current wave of white nationalist and white supremacist machinations, presenting our discipline as particularly suited for the task. But given the study of religion's intimate historical relationship with the modern Christian colonial project, scholars can equally find themselves reinforcing the socio-interpretive modalities-namely essentialism-upon which whiten…
Hallowed Haunts
This paper uses Stephen Best's None Like Us and Charles H. Long's Significations: Signs, Symbols, and Images in the Interpretation of Religion to redescribe the notion of sacred space in light of the national African American museum. After highlighting religion and the museum's mutual Romantic origins, it underscores the invisible institution of slave religion as a modern counterpoint that is harrowingly evocative of the indeterminacy of human me…
