ABSTRACT
This chapter critically interrogates the geo-spatial limits of postsecularity in terms of its empirical study, which, up to now, has tended to privilege Christian-secular nexuses of engagement. It censoriously modulates elements of the authors' working definition of postsecularity across newly emerging spaces, subjectivities, and movements as they are appearing in key literatures and research agendas. The exclusion of women’s bodies and experience from both public and urban space has been a growing subject within postsecular debates The chapter assesses the ways in which distinct spatial contexts shape both the emergence and constitutive dynamics of postsecularity. It emphasises the importance of attending to the wider political and social conditions which shape the capacities for emergent postsecularity in different settings. The chapter also demonstrates how religion 'produces the urban', and reterritorialises public space on different scalar levels, and within different urban publics (the Mexican downtown, the Turkish exurb, the south Asian pilgrimage city).
