| 520 | |a In this book, the term "postsecular" does not denote a rejection of secularism; rather, it parallels the "post" in "post-modern" or "post-structuralist."

His close reading is an attempt at tracing traditional elements, such as plot patterns, naming, ethics in otherwise secular narratives, countering the hegemony of rationalistic interpretive paradigms often employed by postcolonial criticism. | ||
