Prayer, Praise and Postcoloniality: Rethinking Liturgy in Canada
by Dr Sarah Travis (Knox College)
Postcolonial theories have been brought into dialogue with many fields in recent decades, including biblical and theological studies. Even more recently, liturgical scholars have begun to wonder about the relationship among postcolonial theories and worship practice. This seminar will ponder this relationship with specific reference to the contemporary Canadian context. What critiques and cautions are brought into the space of worship from a postcolonial perspective? In what sense does liturgy interact with key postcolonial themes such as identity and hybridity?
