Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For this Special Issue of Religions, I am inviting articles discussing various religious embodiments in South Asia. This Special Issue focuses on the body as a place and medium of embodied religion in South Asia. The primary focus is to discuss bodies in various religious and regional contexts in South Asia. It adds to the ongoing discussion on religion and the body from various theories, methods, historical periods, religions, and regions. This Special Issue invites in-depth investigation of embodied religious practices and performances in various religions, regions, and texts grounded in original research. In particular, I seek articles drawing upon case studies, performances, rituals, or textual interpretations that provide embodied knowledge and that challenge the understanding of the body, enabling a reconceptualization of the body.
Dr. George Pati
