{"product_id":"9781503631090","title":"Practicing Sectarianism : Archival and Ethnographic Interventions on Lebanon","description":"\u003cp\u003ePracticing Sectarianism explores the imaginative and contradictory ways that people live sectarianism. The book's essays use the concept as an animating principle within a variety of sites across Lebanon and its diasporas and over a range of historical periods. With contributions from historians and anthropologists, this volume reveals the many ways sectarianism is used to exhibit, imagine, or contest power: What forms of affective pull does it have on people and communities? What epistemological work does it do as a concept? How does it function as a marker of social difference? Examining social interaction, each essay analyzes how people experience sectarianism, sometimes pushing back, sometimes evading it, sometimes deploying it strategically, to a variety of effects and consequences. The collection advances an understanding of sectarianism simultaneously constructed and experienced, a slippery and changeable concept with material effects. And even as the book's focus is Lebanon, its analysis fractures the association of sectarianism with the nation-state and suggests possibilities that can travel to other sites. Practicing Sectarianism, taken as a whole, argues that sectarianism can only be fully understood—and dismantled—if we first take it seriously as a practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52421409308983,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":487.62,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781503631090-1.jpg?v=1783213132","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/ja\/products\/9781503631090","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
