Imagining Religion

From Babylon to Jonestown

1988 || Paperback || Jonathan Z. Smith || The University of Chicago Press

With this influential book of essays, Jonathan Z. Smith has pointed the academic study of religion in a new theoretical direction, one neither theological nor willfully ideological. Making use of examples as apparently diverse and exotic as the Maori cults in nineteenth-century New Zealand and the events of Jonestown, Smith shows that religion must be construed as conventional, anthropological, historical, and as an exercise of imagination. In his analyses, religion emerges as the product of ...

Theory and Reality

The Politics of Resentment / 1st edition

Rural Consciousness in Wisconsin and the Rise of Scott Walker

2016 || Paperback || Katherine Cramer || The University of Chicago Press

Since the election of Scott Walker, Wisconsin has been seen as ground zero for debates about the appropriate role of government in the wake of the Great Recession. In a time of rising inequality, Walker not only survived a bitterly contested recall that brought thousands of protesters to Capitol Square, he was subsequently reelected. How could this happen? How is it that the very people who stand to benefit from strong government services not only vote against the candidates who support those...

Prisoners of Shangri-La

Tibetan Buddhism and the West

2018 || Paperback || Donald S. Lopez Jr || The University of Chicago Press

To the Western imagination, Tibet evokes exoticism, mysticism, and wonder: a fabled land removed from the grinding onslaught of modernity, spiritually endowed with all that the West has lost. Originally published in 1998, Prisoners of Shangri-La provided the first cultural history of the strange encounter between Tibetan Buddhism and the West. Donald Lopez reveals here fanciful misconceptions of Tibetan life and religion.

He examines, among much else, the politics of the term "Lamaism," a pej...
