Religious Bodies Politic examines the complex relationship between transnational religion and politics through the lens of one cosmopolitan community in Siberia: Buryats, who live in a semiautonomous republic within Russia with a large Buddhist population. Looking at religious transformation among Buryats across changing political economies, Anya Bernstein argues that under conditions of rapid social change - such as those that accompanied the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, and the fall of the Soviet Union - Buryats have used Buddhist "body politics" to articulate their relationship not only with the Russian state, but also with the larger Buddhist world. During these periods, Bernstein shows, certain people and their bodies became key sites through which Buryats conformed to or challenged Russian political rule. She presents particular cases of these emblematic bodies - dead bodies of famous monks, temporary bodies of reincarnated lamas, ascetic and celibate bodies of Buddhist monastics, and dismembered bodies of lay disciples given as imaginary gifts to spirits - to investigate the specific ways in which religion and politics have intersected. Contributing to the growing literature on postsocialism and studies of sovereignty that focus on the body, Religious Bodies Politic is a fascinating illustration of how this community employed Buddhism to adapt to key moments of political change.

个人感觉第四章有意思而且切题紧凑。。。不过佛教话语中的女权好像并没有深挖。

评分Provocative but unsatisfactory. 其实挺好看的就是功亏一篑感太强。心疼前几章的材料没挖透，感觉已经够拼出来国家/经济/宗教结构类比的图了，根本不需要最后用一个做传销的喇嘛这种猎奇故事来撑。(但国内亚马逊竟然卖。。)
