Stephan Feuchtwang
Stephan Feuchtwang is a senior research associate of the anthropology department at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Together with Wang Mingming, a close colleague at Beijing University, Feuchtwang has recently completed Grassroots Charisma in China (Routledge), about the theory of charisma and the recognition of authority based on real life stories of rural leaders in Taiwan and the mainland. Questions of decentralized popular religion in the imperial state and religion as a collective representation are the subjects of his earlier book The Imperial Metaphor (Routledge, 1992), now available in a new edition, Popular Religion in China, with the addition of a chapter on the transformations of popular religion in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, published by Routledge-Curzon Press in paperback.
