De-othering god

dalit theology after continental philosophy

Y. T. Vinayaraj

pp. 87-119

Abstrakt

This chapter offers a constructive proposal for a Dalit theology of an immanent God, or de-othering God, as it emerges out of a materialist epistemology. Engaging with the post-Continental philosophers of immanence, such as Gilles Deleuze, Giorgio Agamben, Catherine Malabou, and Jean-Luc Nancy, this chapter explores the possibility of proposing a Dalit theology of an immanent God—a God free of transcendence. Of course, the fundamental question before us is: how can there be a Dalit theology of God without having any Christian philosophical baggage of transcendentalism? The study ends with a clarion call for the Indian Christian Theology to take a turn towards immanence, which is political and polydoxical in content.
