Materializing the study of religion
Abstract
© 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This response to Meyer’s
work focuses attention on the materiality of studying religion and how the sociality
of religious practice may be studied in material terms. The value of this approach
and the manner in which it is conducted vary from more traditional approaches to religion
by offering a different conception of what religion is and does.
