This volume focuses on the increasing inclusion of the analysis of ‘religion’ in the humanities and explores how transformations in society, in literature, art, and memory studies as well as epistemological shifts have enabled changes in perspective that could be called a ‘postsecular turn’. The transdisciplinary discussion aims at systematizing, on the one hand, the ‘new’ complexity brought to disciplines and fields of study such as literary studies, art history, religious studies, anthropology, religious history, and memory studies. On the other hand, it wants to show how this turn leads to a significant broadening of ‘religious studies’, in which aesthetics, linguistic, visual and ritual practices creating transcendence are brought into the centre of interest.
