Abstract
The postsecular is a conceptual frame that allows researchers to address the changing role and dynamics of religion in contemporary societies. In particular, geographers have advanced an empirically- and actor-based agenda to understand the boundary transgressions of belief systems. An increasing number of them have called for a practice-centered approach to studying religion so as to grasp the topic in its full complexity. Consequently, the concept of postsecular rapprochement serves as a tool to grasp the changing role of religion in social and (geo)political practices. So far, studies of postsecular rapprochement have been conceptualized as the transgression of different systems of belief, triggered by and focusing on urgent social issues, including increasing the visibility of those social issues by targeting the public sphere. Despite the primarily urban focus of geographic research on the postsecular so far, postsecular rapprochement should be seen as a logic of transgression that has become increasingly probable in a globalized world of increasing sociospatial disparities, manifesting in rural regions as well.
