Event overview
Talk on Political Theology by Professor Vincent Lloyd
Discussions of political theology have often taken a top-down perspective, examining the ways secularized religious concepts shape how we talk about states and their leadership. My paper explores what a bottom-up approach to political theology might look like. In what ways do secularized religious concepts shape the practices of political oppression and the self-understanding of the oppressed? Taking three concepts as examples – domination, abuse, and destruction – I argue that the critical tools of political theology are effective not only at challenging the self-conception of elites but also at understanding and fueling movements of the marginalized.
