Description
This detailed study in religious studies is intended as a contribution to the study of Hinduisms. It reconstructs Hindu temple practices in Zurich and Vienna, representative of two national contexts. The focus is on the question of the practical execution of events in the Hindu temple, i.e. the question of which practices create a temple as such. Committed to an ethnomethodological approach, the study reconstructs the routine of communal Hindu temple practice - the 'doing mandir'. In doing so, it fills a research gap and contributes to the establishment of practice theory approaches in religious studies and their translation into the concretion of empirical research.

Reviews
»Das große Verdienst der sehr gut lesbaren Dissertation ist es, nicht nur bisher wenig durchgeführte Detailstudien zu Hinduismen in Europa vorzustellen, sondern dabei auch eine kritische kulturwissenschaftliche Perspektive einzunehmen. Zu hoffen ist, dass ein solch genauer Blick auf religiöses ›Tun‹ als zentrales Element von ›Religion‹, wie er in der Arbeit von Katharina Limacher als konsequente Umsetzung des sog. practice turn (vgl. Theodore R. Schatzki 2001) zu finden ist, viele Nachfolgearbeiten innerhalb einer empirisch ausgerichteten Religionsforschung finden wird. ›Doing mandir, doing kovil‹ kann dafür als Beispielstudie dienen.«

»highly transparent, nuanced, and self-reflective theoretical and methodological framework. [...] he analyses in Doing mandir, doing kovil are broad and so phisticated, with far-reaching consequences for the sociological study of religion. [...] the theoretical-methodological parts are of great value for any scholar and student working on present-day material, particularly through field work.«
