Abstract
- The article focuses religion scholar Jonathan Z. Smith and his metamorphic vita backlit religion neither as a miasma of power relationships nor as a matrix for the negotiation of identity. It mentions his platform seems so nicely to dovetail with postmodern epistemology and critical theory. It also mentions cross-examined and demystified transcendentalized aspects of religious ideologies and practices in the context of history.
