Prayer, Poetry, and Protest: Pentecostalism and Political imagination among Ugandan Youth
REFNo: SS2594ES
The primary objective of this research project is to investigate how young people in Kampala, Uganda, aged eighteen to thirty-five, mobilize charismatic Christian discourses, practices, and communities to imagine their futures, engage with politics, and navigate conditions of political repression, economic precarity, and social disintegration. Specifically, the project aims to:
1. Explore the diverse ways in which young people draw upon charismatic Christianity as a resource for making sense of their lives, asserting their dignity, and envisioning alternative social and political possibilities.
2. Examine how young people's "god-talk" – a critical and creative method of biblical reinterpretation and intimate conversation with the divine – challenges conventional understandings of the political and expands notions of political agency and engagement.
3. Investigate the role of social memory in shaping contemporary youth political imaginations, by considering how young people's religious-political expressions both draw upon and depart from earlier movements, such as the Holy Spirit Movement.
4. Identify and analyze the spaces, practices, and cultural forms through which young people develop and express their political subjectivities, with a focus on artistic and creative practices, such as spoken word poetry and music.
5. Contribute to anthropological debates on the complex and often contradictory role of religion in social movements, as well as the ways in which marginalized youth navigate and challenge the constraints of their political contexts.
This project aims to generate new insights into the religious and political imaginations of urban Ugandan youth, and to shed light on the diverse and unexpected ways in which young people are actively engaging with politics outside of the formal political sphere. By taking seriously the political significance of religious and artistic imaginaries, this research has the potential to expand our understanding of what constitutes the political and to contribute to broader debates about youth agency, social movements, and the role of religion in public life.
