From the Back Cover

This book, part of a three-volume assessment of methodological issues in the field of Chinese religions, not only examines the conceptual categories and values used in scholarly research but also analyzes their roles in actual religious practice. The chapters address themes like the judicial continuum in Chinese legal culture; the evolution of Chinese vegetarianism; food fellowship in contemporary Chinese Christian practice; animal protection activism initiated by Buddhists during the Republican era; forms of contemporary Buddhist technoculture; gender as analytical theory and social practice in modern Chinese religion; Zhuang female shamans and their networks in southwest Guangxi; transnational networks of Wenzhou religious groups; and transnational movements like Falun gong. This study of 'lived religion' proposes new settings for emic investigations of religion in Chinese societies, thereby rethinking the field's theoretical frameworks.
