This book and film provide an account of the invisible dynamics of possession and psychosis, and of how the bodies and souls of Muslim patients are shaped by the conflicting demands of Islam and the psychiatric institutions of European nation-states. Over several years, Christian Suhr followed Muslim patients being treated in a Danish mosque and in a psychiatric hospital. His analysis reveals how both psychiatric and Islamic healing work not only to produce relief from pain, but also entail an ethical transformation of the patient and the cultivation of religious and secular values through the experience of pain. Creatively exploring the analytic possibilities provided by the use of a camera, both the book and film show how disruptive ritual techniques are used in healing to destabilise individual perceptions and experiences of agency, so as to allow patients to submit to the invisible powers of psychotropic medicine or God. Descending with angels addresses several timely topics - Islam in the West, mental health, intercultural cohabitation - and provides new theoretical perspectives on the agency of the invisible in human life. It will be of particular interest to scholars and students of anthropology, psychiatry, film and media studies, and the study of religion and Islam. The book comes with limited online access to the film. Separate license for public or classroom use can be purchased from Documentary Educational Resources (www.der.org).

The term cosmopolitan is increasingly used within different social, cultural and political settings, including academia, popular media and national politics. However those who invoke the cosmopolitan project rarely ask whose experience, understanding, or vision of cosmopolitanism is being described and for whose purposes? In response, this volume assembles contributors from different disciplines and theoretical backgrounds to examine cosmopolitanism's possibilities, aspirations and applications-as well as its tensions, contradictions, and discontents-so as to offer a critical commentary on the vital but often neglected question: whose cosmopolitanism? The book investigates when, where, and how cosmopolitanism emerges as a contemporary social process, global aspiration or emancipatory political project and asks whether it can serve as a political or methodological framework for action in a world of conflict and difference.

"Liturgical books are not only the most important evidence for understanding patterns of worship in the Middle Ages, they are also highly complex sources, comprising many constituent parts, which often cannot be easily harmonised. Their codification not only served practical purposes, but also had a representational function; it could also serve to preserve and transmit formative knowledge or authorised and authorising tradition. The interdisciplinary contributions in the present volume explore, among other things, the multi-layered nature and complex typology of composite sources, the relationship between literary and liturgical transmission, and the historical and cultural significance of liturgical books from the Western Middle Ages. " "Liturgische Bücher sind nicht nur die wichtigsten Quellen für die Feier des Gottesdienstes. Viele Handschriften bestehen aus mehreren Komponenten, die sich häufig nicht einfach harmonisieren lassen; ihre Kodifikation dient nicht nur praktischen Zwecken, sondern auch der Repräsentation oder der Bewahrung und Weitergabe von Bildungsgut oder autoritativer Tradition. Die interdisziplinären Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes erörtern unter anderem den vielschichtigen Charakter und die komplexe Typologie kompositer Quellen, das Verhältnis von literarischer und liturgischer Überlieferung sowie die historische und kulturelle Bedeutung liturgischer Bücher des westlichen Mittelalters."
