#### **Summary** #summary

*What we term “religion” or the “religious” is a universal signifier that encompasses a range of social forms, cultural meanings, and symbolic practices presupposing the presencing of a certain transcendent reality. However, the manifestation of transcendence is impossible without* ***corporeal experience***, whether that involve sexuality, gender, the regimentation of the body in ascetic practices, the definition of reproductive rights, the subjugation of persons through the wielding of law and punishment, war and conflict, the endurance of pain and suffering for a higher purpose.*

*How are new theoretical perspectives involving phenomenology, neurology, gender theory, racialization, colonization and de-colonization, medical and social ethics, feminism, etc. transforming our previous stances, or positionalities?*
