Abstract:
Although postsecular criticism seems dedicated to the deconstruction of an untenable religious/secular binary, the discourse harbors an unacknowledged complicity with the very terms we attempt to deconstruct. Responding to challenges by Tracy Fessenden and Laura Levitt, the essay recommends what Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak names a “productive acknowledgment of complicity” for postsecular studies.
