SUMMARY:Bourdieu, Religious Fields and Social Power in Mainland Southeast Asia (1)
LOCATION:Room 1.402
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Stanley Tambiah’s seminal ethnography of spirit cul
 ts and the religious field in Northeast Thailand, scholars of religion in m
 ainland Southeast Asia have since the 1970s intermittently deployed the ide
 a of the “religious field” to analyze religious diversity, hierarchy and op
 position within particular national settings. Scholarship about the religio
 us fields of Southeast Asia, however, has rarely engaged with Pierre Bourdi
 eu's sociological theorizing of social fields or the subsequent work on soc
 ial field theory which has flowed from his work. This laboratory will ask s
 cholars of religion in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos to bring these 
 two trajectories of scholarship into critical conversation. What theoretica
 l, analytical and methodological similarities and differences unite and div
 ide the conceptualizations of a religious field by Tambiah and Bourdieu? Ho
 w can the conceptual vocabularies and analytic models of Bourdieu and other
 s theorists of social fields enrich the interpretation of religious structu
 res, hierarchies, complementarities and contestation in modern and pre-mode
 rn Southeast Asia? What are the limitations of applying sociological theori
 es of social fields in Southeast Asia given that they have primarily emerge
 d and been applied to societies of the modern industrial Christian West? Ho
 w does the unique historical, religious and socio-political dynamics of col
 onialism, nation-building and the revival of various religious traditions i
 n Southeast Asia suggest productive ways in which Bourdieu’s theorizing of 
 social fields need to be revised and re-imagined in a global era?\n\nThis l
 aboratory will establish a dialogue between junior and senior scholars of r
 eligion, anthropology and sociology who research contrasting domains, field
 s and dynamics of social power and religiosity in contemporary mainland Sou
 theast Asia. By thinking comparatively both within national settings and ac
 ross the mainland region, the laboratory seeks to develop a more robust, cr
 itical and nuanced conceptual and analytic vocabulary through which to adva
 nce the comparative study of religious pluralism, social power and historic
 al agency in Southeast Asian and beyond.
