The Nile on eBay   Narrative and Religion in the Superdiverse City by Stephen Pihlaja

This Element shows how narrative is used to construct religious identity in superdiverse contexts, considering how people talk about their own religious identity, and the religious identity of others. It also shows how conflict emerges and is resolved in spaces where people of different faiths and no faith interact.

FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

This Element focuses on how narrative is used to construct religious identity in superdiverse contexts, considering specifically how people talk about their own religious identity, and the religious identity of others. Drawing on interviews with twenty-five participants, and numerous site visits throughout the city of Birmingham (UK), the analysis focuses on how self and other positioning is used to construct religious identity in talk about beliefs, actions, and behaviours in different contexts. Additionally, the analysis shows how conflict emerges and is resolved in spaces where people of different faiths and no faith interact, and how people talk about and understand community. Finally, a model for talking about faith in diverse contexts is presented to help people find common goals and act together towards shared interests.
