Religious hair display and its meanings

Religious hair display and its meanings[electronic resource] /by William C. Innes, Jr. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xv, 279 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Popular culture, religion and society. A social-scientific approach,42509-3223 ;. - Popular culture, religion and society. A social-scientific approach ;4..

1.Introduction -- 2.Judaism -- 3.Christianity -- 4.Islam -- 5.Hinduism -- 6.Buddhism -- 7.Sikhism -- 8.Looking for Common Ground -- 9.Consulting the Social Sciences -- 10.Conclusion.

This book explores the fascinating world of religious hair observances within six religious traditions that account for 77% of the world's adherents: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. Symbolic use of hair has been, and remains, prevalent in all six and carries significant amounts of religious and social meaning. Hair is a unique body substance. It can be shaped and colored, removed from us without pain but still retain an individual's essence, signal our age, sex, and sexual maturity, and much, much more. The book's approach is to situate each practice within its tradition. That requires a study of its foundational leaders and their teachings, sacred texts (where they mention hair), its rites and rituals, ideas of religious power and subsequent historical development. Contemporary practitioners are interviewed for their motivations. Even more insight can be gleaned by searching beyond an overt religious purpose. Social scientists from anthropology, sociology, psychology, and related fields bring their research to deliver added perceptions. The author reveals how hair practices are created from ancient psychological and cultural impulses, become modified by time, culture and religious intent, and are adopted by adherents for reasons ranging from personal religious expression to group identity. This book is written for the interested observer of our increasingly diverse society and for the student of comparative religion and sociology. It will change forever how you see hair.
