| Summary: | China’s constitution explicitly refers to its sovereign domain as "sacred territory." Why does an avowedly secular state make such a claim, and what does this suggest about the relations between religion and the nation-state? Focusing primarily on China, Stating the Sacred offers a novel approach to nation-state formation, arguing that its most critical element is how the state sacralizes the nation.Michael J. Walsh explores the religious and political dimensions of Chinese state ideology, making the case that the sacred is a constitutive part of modern China. He examines the structural connection among texts (constitutions, legal codes, national histories), ostensibly universal and normative categories (race, religion, citizenship, freedom, human rights), and territoriality (the integrity of sovereignty and control over resources and people), showing how they are bound together by the sacred. Considering a variety of what he refers to as theopolitical techniques, Walsh argues that nation-states undertake sacralization in order to legitimate the violence of establishing and expanding their sovereignty. Ultimately, territorialization is a form of sacralization, and the foundational role of the sacred makes all nation-states religious states. Stating the Sacred offers new ways of understanding China’s approach to legality, control of the populace, religious freedom, human rights, and the structuring of international relations, and it raises existential questions about the fundamental nature of the nation-state |

Walsh New York Columbia University Press [2020] © 2020 1 Online-Ressource (xxxvii, 237 Seiten) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier China’s constitution explicitly refers to its sovereign domain as "sacred territory." Why does an avowedly secular state make such a claim, and what does this suggest about the relations between religion and the nation-state? Focusing primarily on China, Stating the Sacred offers a novel approach to nation-state formation, arguing that its most critical element is how the state sacralizes the nation.Michael J. Walsh explores the religious and political dimensions of Chinese state ideology, making the case that the sacred is a constitutive part of modern China. He examines the structural connection among texts (constitutions, legal codes, national histories), ostensibly universal and normative categories (race, religion, citizenship, freedom, human rights), and territoriality (the integrity of sovereignty and control over resources and people), showing how they are bound together by the sacred. Considering a variety of what he refers to as theopolitical techniques, Walsh argues that nation-states undertake sacralization in order to legitimate the violence of establishing and expanding their sovereignty. Ultimately, territorialization is a form of sacralization, and the foundational role of the sacred makes all nation-states religious states. Stating the Sacred offers new ways of understanding China’s approach to legality, control of the populace, religious freedom, human rights, and the structuring of international relations, and it raises existential questions about the fundamental nature of the nation-state Geschichte 1790- gnd rswk-swf HISTORY / Asia / China bisacsh Citizenship China Civil religion China Nation-state National characteristics, Chinese Territorium (DE-588)4184803-2 gnd rswk-swf Nation (DE-588)4041279-9 gnd rswk-swf Nationalstaat (DE-588)4041331-7 gnd rswk-swf Das Heilige (DE-588)4128109-3 gnd rswk-swf Zivilreligion (DE-588)4126394-7 gnd rswk-swf Staatsbürger (DE-588)4182642-5 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 g Zivilreligion (DE-588)4126394-7 s Das Heilige (DE-588)4128109-3 s Nation (DE-588)4041279-9 s Nationalstaat (DE-588)4041331-7 s Staatsbürger (DE-588)4182642-5 s Territorium (DE-588)4184803-2 s Geschichte 1790- z 1\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-231-19356-6 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-0-231-19357-3 https://doi.org/10.7312/wals19356 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
