By analyzing the interviews of 13 Islamic women and Catholic participants, it explores themes of agency, oppression, and the interplay between modernity and religious identity. The findings illustrate how these women navigate their roles within the context of a secular society, simultaneously reclaiming and redefining their femininities to assert autonomy and challenge conventional narratives."},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/15060577/Strategic_subversions_of_the_sacred_The_cultural_psychology_of_religious_identities","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2015-08-20T10:59:59.799-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":3681120,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[{"id":4867701,"work_id":15060577,"tagging_user_id":3681120,"tagged_user_id":3681120,"co_author_invite_id":1106652,"email":"s***2@gmail.com","display_order":0,"name":"Sunil Bhatia","title":"Strategic subversions of the sacred: The cultural psychology of religious identities"}],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":38527331,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/38527331/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Cultural_Psychology_of_religious_identites-CAP_427465-5-1.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/38527331/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Strategic_subversions_of_the_sacred_The.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/38527331/Cultural_Psychology_of_religious_identites-CAP_427465-5-1-libre.pdf?1440093593=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DStrategic_subversions_of_the_sacred_The.pdf\u0026Expires=1741747926\u0026Signature=SKCcSHYRdDp3SdwWGm3W7vEIdL1aqKvIDFUtgq1G4fiZoVwZDi9nZ2vLrw1a2rQpK7V3frBsHtx4Gm0wk3L5Yju37dHUSR0-zvBsezTmSEQKk4Ejtxrga2Y3XqxcXR5nf71i6EPY5sjqsONbfQJsjDeMyNjZN7PwNr-I51omWgMCD1QbAqPrZiEfrx9KDuYGxm~Hkv3KuMAeFFBwqn3w1Tq0fw2JKRSj8ivsdARM~IXleSyIMA5yqZp2oDUGZdjmPXpR3EKihT7BRJTDBBvpwxr4FiFamwrM27vZcfV8mgtx1gY3gGh4H3LgHeoMn7vxctyPX5BYHE1h98c5iN6bAw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Strategic_subversions_of_the_sacred_The_cultural_psychology_of_religious_identities","translated_slug":"","page_count":16,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","summary":null,"owner":{"id":3681120,"first_name":"Sunil","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Bhatia","page_name":"SunilBhatia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2013-04-05T02:18:39.105-07:00","display_name":"Sunil Bhatia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/SunilBhatia"},"attachments":[{"id":38527331,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/38527331/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Cultural_Psychology_of_religious_identites-CAP_427465-5-1.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/38527331/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Strategic_subversions_of_the_sacred_The.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/38527331/Cultural_Psychology_of_religious_identites-CAP_427465-5-1-libre.pdf?1440093593=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DStrategic_subversions_of_the_sacred_The.pdf\u0026Expires=1741747926\u0026Signature=SKCcSHYRdDp3SdwWGm3W7vEIdL1aqKvIDFUtgq1G4fiZoVwZDi9nZ2vLrw1a2rQpK7V3frBsHtx4Gm0wk3L5Yju37dHUSR0-zvBsezTmSEQKk4Ejtxrga2Y3XqxcXR5nf71i6EPY5sjqsONbfQJsjDeMyNjZN7PwNr-I51omWgMCD1QbAqPrZiEfrx9KDuYGxm~Hkv3KuMAeFFBwqn3w1Tq0fw2JKRSj8ivsdARM~IXleSyIMA5yqZp2oDUGZdjmPXpR3EKihT7BRJTDBBvpwxr4FiFamwrM27vZcfV8mgtx1gY3gGh4H3LgHeoMn7vxctyPX5BYHE1h98c5iN6bAw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });
