Atmospheric Citizenship: Sonic Movement and Public Religion in Shi’ite Mumbai

Atmospheric Citizenship: Sonic Movement and Public Religion in Shi’ite Mumbai
November 13, 2018 @ 4:10 pm – 6:00 pm
With Patrick Eisenlohr

This talk focused on the sonic dimensions of religious life and place-making in Mumbai, and its connections to a “right to the city” for people facing a precarious future. While soundscape is an established concept for the investigation of the sonic aspects of urban place-making, including its religious dimensions, Eisenlohr argued that an analytic of atmospheres is better suited to capture the powerful emotive dimensions of place-making through sonic performances.

Patrick Eisenlohr is Professor of Anthropology, Chair of Society and Culture in Modern India at the University of Göttingen.

This event was organized by the Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life. Part of the Rethinking Public Religion in Africa and South Asia Project, funded by the Henry R. Luce Foundation
