Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A history of global secularism and political feeling through colonial blasphemy law. Why is religion today so often associated with giving and taking offense? To answer this question, Slandering the Sacred invites us to consider how colonial infrastructures shaped our globalized world. Through the origin and afterlives of a 1927 British imperial law (Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code), J. Barton Scott weaves a globe-trotting narrative about secularism, empire, insult, and outrage. Decentering white martyrs to free thought, his story calls for new histories of blasphemy that return these thinkers to their imperial context, dismantle the cultural boundaries of the West, and transgress the borders between the secular and the sacred as well as the public and the private.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. In twenty-first century India, "religious sentiments" are often in the news. Bollywood films are said to wound them. So are tweets, political cartoons, Netflix shows, stand-up comedy routines, and scholarly books. Most of these controversies hinge on the interpretation of a single law: section 295A of the Indian Penal Code, concerning insults intended to outrage "religious feelings." Slandering the Sacred explores the cultural, intellectual, and legal pre-history of this law, moving between colonial India and imperial Britain, as well as between secular law and modern religion. It shows us how the history of law and religion is intricately connected to an idea of the intimate. What this book provides is an unexpected history which anchors a much larger inquiry into secularism and empire, insult and affect, outrage and free speech. In the words of one reviewer, "J. Barton Scott has written a book as witty as it is scholarly. Slandering the Sacred is an enthralling and colourful history of a law, a page-turner about a penal code.".…
