What are you drawn to like, to watch, or even to binge? What are you free to consume, and what do you become through consumption? These questions of desire and value, Kathryn Lofton argues, are questions for the study of religion. In eleven essays exploring soap and office cubicles, Britney Spears and the Kardashians, corporate culture and Goldman Sachs, Lofton shows the conceptual levers of religion in thinking about social modes of encounter, use, and longing. Wherever we see people articulate their dreams of and for the world, wherever we see those dreams organized into protocols, images, manuals, and contracts, we glimpse what the word “religion” allows us to describe and understand.
With great style and analytical acumen, Lofton offers the ultimate guide to religion and consumption in our capitalizing times.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. What are you drawn to like, to watch, or even to binge? What are you free to consume, and what do you become through consumption? These questions of desire and value, Kathryn Lofton argues, are questions for the study of religion. In eleven essays exploring soap and office cubicles, Britney Spears and the Kardashians, corporate culture and Goldman Sachs, Lofton shows the conceptual levers of religion in thinking about social modes of encounter, use, and longing. Wherever we see people articulate their dreams of and for the world, wherever we see those dreams organized into protocols, images, manuals, and contracts, we glimpse what the word religion allows us to describe and understand. With great style and analytical acumen, Lofton offers the ultimate guide to religion and consumption in our capitalizing times. What makes us decide to like something, to watch, to do? Why do we commit to organizing ourselves one way rather than another? These questions of relative value, Kathryn Lofton argues, are at bottom religious questions. It does not matter if you have never been inside of a cathedral, a temple, or a seminary: you are still in the frame of religion. Ranging from tabloids to office cubicles, from the Kardashians to Goldman Sachs, Lofton shows the conceptual leverage that religion provides, especially as a way to think about social modes of encounter, interaction, and development. With stylistic verve and analytical bite, Lofton offers the ultimate guide to the religion and consumption in our capitalizing times. "Consuming Religion" appears in the Press's new religious studies series, Class 200, edited by Lofton and John Lardas Modern (the series is named for the Dewey Decimal System classification for religion).
