We have long recognized that many objects in museums were originally on display in temples, shrines, or monasteries, and were religiously significant to the communities that created and used them. How, though, are such objects to be understood, described, exhibited, and handled now that they are in museums? Are they still sacred objects, or formerly sacred objects that are now art objects, or are they simultaneously objects of religious and artistic significance, depending on who is viewing the object? These objects not only raise questions about their own identities, but also about the ways we understand the religious traditions in which these objects were created and which they represent in museums today.
Bringing together religious studies scholars and museum curators, Sacred Objects in Secular Spaces is the first volume to focus on Asian religions in relation to these questions. The contributors analyze an array of issues related to the exhibition in museums of objects of religious significance from Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh traditions. The "lives" of objects are considered, along with the categories of "sacred" and "profane", "religious" and "secular".
As interest in material manifestations of religious ideas and practices continues to grow, Sacred Objects in Secular Spaces is a much-needed contribution to religious and Asian studies, anthropology of religion and museums studies.
Описание: Is contemporary Black British gospel music a coloniality? What theological message is really conveyed in these songs?In this book, Robert Beckford shows how the Black British contemporary gospel music tradition is incrisis because its songs continue to be informed by colonial Christian ideas about God.Beckford explores the failure of both African and African Caribbean heritage Churches to Decolonise their faith, especially the doctrine of God, biblical interpretation and Black ontology. This predicament has left song leaders, musicians and songwriters with a reservoir of ideas that aim to disavow engagement with the social-historical world, black Biblical interpretation and the necessity of loving blackness.This book is decolonisation through praxis. Reflecting on the conceptual social justice album ‘The Jamaican Bible Remix’ (2017) as a communicative resource, Beckford shows how to develop production tools to inscribe decolonial theological thought onto Black British music(s). The outcome of this process is the creation of a decolonial contemporary gospel music genre. The impact of the album is demonstrated through case studies in national and international contexts.

Описание: In modernity, music has received an almost religious status while liturgical music has been increasingly regarded as art. This study of the unique Dutch festival Musica Sacra Maastricht demonstrates how this dual development leads to new frameworks for meaning-making. These frameworks provide traditional religions relevance in secularized contexts and emphasize the ritual qualities of music. Many visitors value the festival’s focus on the sacred, which it maintains in a program of both religious and non-religious music, from Gregorian chant to art music. The framework of sacrality transgresses the strongly-embedded boundary between the religious and the secular, displaying the multiplicity of contemporary sense-making practices. The ethnographic data of this study is situated in a discussion of the sacred’s theoretical potential. It draws attention to the values people attribute to music, whether or not it is religious. This study argues for a broad approach to the attribution of non-negotiable value. Such attribution results from experiences that connect everyday life with the non-ordinary reality of musical performance, evoking memories, feelings of recognition and homecoming, or the opposite feelings of discovery of the unknown.
