Abstract

Matteo Di Placido has recently obtained his PhD in Sociology and Social Research at the University of Milan – Bicocca, Italy, with a dissertation on what he calls the “pedagogies of salvation” of modern forms of yoga. He was a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Political Science and the Center for Ideas and Society of the University of California Riverside (UCR) during the Spring and Summer quarters of the academic year 2018-2019; and an Academic Associate at the Cardiff School of Sport and Health Sciences of the Metropolitan University of Cardiff, Wales, during the first semester of 2020. Matteo’s current research deals with the ethnographic study of the apprenticeship processes of modern yogi in a variety of contexts, such as ashrams and urban yoga schools. He is particularly interested in the pedagogies of modern forms of yoga, their disciplining and self-transformative dynamics as well as the discursive study and the politics of modern yoga research and the sociology of religion.

期刊介绍： Critical Research on Religion is a peer-reviewed, international journal focusing on the development of a critical theoretical framework and its application to research on religion. It provides a common venue for those engaging in critical analysis in theology and religious studies, as well as for those who critically study religion in the other social sciences and humanities such as philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, and literature. A critical approach examines religious phenomena according to both their positive and negative impacts. It draws on methods including but not restricted to the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, Marxism, post-structuralism, feminism, psychoanalysis, ideological criticism, post-colonialism, ecocriticism, and queer studies. The journal seeks to enhance an understanding of how religious institutions and religious thought may simultaneously serve as a source of domination and progressive social change. It attempts to understand the role of religion within social and political conflicts. These conflicts are often based on differences of race, class, ethnicity, region, gender, and sexual orientation – all of which are shaped by social, political, and economic inequity. The journal encourages submissions of theoretically guided articles on current issues as well as those with historical interest using a wide range of methodologies including qualitative, quantitative, and archival. It publishes articles, review essays, book reviews, thematic issues, symposia, and interviews.
