Описание: In Re-enchanting Modernity Mayfair Yang examines the resurgence of religious and ritual life after decades of enforced secularization in the coastal area of Wenzhou, China. Drawing on twenty-five years of ethnographic fieldwork, Yang shows how the local practices of popular religion, Daoism, and Buddhism are based in community-oriented grassroots organizations that create spaces for relative local autonomy and self-governance. Central to Wenzhous religious civil society is what Yang calls a "ritual economy," in which an ethos of generosity is expressed through donations to temples, clerics, ritual events, and charities in exchange for spiritual gain. With these investments in transcendent realms, Yang adopts Georges Batailles notion of "ritual expenditures" to challenge the idea that rural Wenzhous economic development can be described in terms of Max Webers notion of a "Protestant Ethic". Instead, Yang suggests that Wenzhous ritual economy forges an alternate path to capitalist modernity.
