SUMMARY:Pious Technologies and Secular Designs
DESCRIPTION:For over a decade\, scholars in sociology\, anthropology\, and 
 religious studies have been engaged in a heated debate about
  the role of religion in modern politics and society\, a disc
 ussion formerly absent from most canonical accounts of moder
 nization and globalization. For too long\, a simplistic view 
 of the Enlightenment reigned: one in which religious regimes
  were quickly and completely displaced by new rational struc
 tures. The work of Charles Taylor\, José Casanova and Tal
 al Asad\, among others\, has been crucial in undermining such
  notions\, revealing the religious as anything but absent fro
 m the public sphere\, the secular as a notion all too intertw
 ined with Christianity\, and Western narratives about reason 
 and progress as tenaciously—and at times violently—encha
 nted.
