Summary:

Social scientists and scholars of religion explore the complex duality of religion as an everyday practice and a normative doctrine. Among the topics are divination and Islam: existential perspectives in the study of ritual and religious praxis in Senegal and Gambia; everyday religion, ambiguity, and homosocial relationships in Manitoba, Canada from 1911 to 1949; the ordinary within the extraordinary: sainthood making and everyday religious practice in Lesvos, Greece; producing and consuming space in the construction of the sacred at the Shrine of Sant Maria delle Grazie; and capitalist ethics and the spirit of Islamization in Egypt.
