Our fascination goes far beyond secret rituals, charismatic leaders, and tantalizing scandals. What is it about communities and groups that promise total belief and total enthrallment that so captures the imagination? And what does this popular cultural phenomenon tell us about our own spiritual and social desires? If you have a story about your own search for transcendence and transformation, be in touch! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005c7fb2f57da1e2e727ea7/1611012474942-T16WF9EVSPN2TCD206NH/eot.jpg Research - An Empire of Touch turns attention to East Bengal, the historical antecedent of Bangladesh, today an international exemplar of development driven by gender-targeted foreign aid. It recounts a new narrative of female political labor under empire, spanning from anticolonial nationalism to neoliberal globalization, through text and textile. It follows the historical traces of how women have claimed their labor, making what has been customarily seen as “merely” intimate and domestic into appreciable political acts.
