Speaking "religion" through a gender code: The discursive power and gendered-racial implications of the religious label
2021
Critical Research on Religion
Drawing on the scholarship of Critical Religion, this article shows how the modern category "religion" operates through a gender code which upholds its discursive power and enables the production of religious—and therefore racial—hierarchies. Specifically, it argues that mentioning religion automatically makes gender present in discourse. Acknowledging religion as an inherently gendered category in this way gives further insight into the discursive power and functioning of the religious label.
