The book's essays use the concept as an animating principle within a variety of sites across Lebanon and its diasporas and over a range of historical periods. With contributions from historians and anthropologists, this volume reveals the many ways sectarianism is used to exhibit, imagine, or contest power: What forms of affective pull does it have on people and communities? What epistemological work does it do as a concept? How does it function as a marker of social difference?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamining social interaction, each essay analyzes how people experience sectarianism, sometimes pushing back, sometimes evading it, sometimes deploying it strategically, to a variety of effects and consequences. The collection advances an understanding of sectarianism simultaneously constructed and experienced, a slippery and changeable concept with material effects. And even as the book's focus is Lebanon, its analysis fractures the association of sectarianism with the nation-state and suggests possibilities that can travel to other sites. \u003ci\u003ePracticing Sectarianism\u003c\/i\u003e, taken as a whole, argues that sectarianism can only be fully understood--and dismantled--if we first take it seriously as a practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLara Deeb\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Anthropology at Scripps College. \u003cb\u003eTsolin Nalbantian\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Leiden University. \u003cb\u003eNadya Sbaiti\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Middle East Studies at the American University of Beirut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 6.1 x 9.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 22, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52630893330739,"sku":"9781503631090","price":160.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Zm1tZXJ4OGJwS2NtZnNBcUM5UHd3Zz09.webp?v=1762167304","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/practicing-sectarianism-archival-and-ethnographic-interventions-on-lebanon-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
