Summary:Co-authored by three anthropologists with long-term expertise studying Pentecostalism in Vanuatu, Angola, and Papua New Guinea/the Trobriand Islands respectively, Going to Pentecost offers a comparative study of Pentecostalism in Africa and Melanesia, focusing on key issues as economy, urban sociality, and healing. More than an ordinary comparative book, it recognizes the changing nature of religion in the contemporary world - in particular the emergence of "non-territorial" religion (which is no longer specific to places or cultures) - and represents an experimental approach to the study of global religious movements in general and Pentecostalism in particular. Contents: Introduction : going to 'Pentecost' : outline of an experiment Interlude : locations in 'Pentecost' Borders in 'Pentecost': creating protected spaces Reconfiguring life and death: a new moral economy in 'Pentecost' Anti-relativist nostalgias and the absolutist road Borders and abjections : approaching individualism in 'Pentecost' Engaging with theories of neoliberalism and prosperity Pentecostal anti-relativist nostalgias and the absolutist road Comments Comparison re-placed / Matei Candea Pentecostalism and forms of individualism / Joel Robbins Life at the end of time : a note on comparison, 'Pentecost' and the Trobriands / Bjorn Enge Bertelsen Wealth versus money in Pentecost : why is money good? / Knut Rio 'Pentecost' in the world / Birgit Meyer.…
