Geography of World Pilgrimages : Social, Cultural and Territorial Perspectives Hardback
Edited by Lucrezia Lopez
Part of the Springer Geography series
Hardback
Description
This book points out how pilgrimage studies rely on interdisciplinary academic interests, being always more determined by anthropological, social, cultural and economic factors.
The volume gathers interdisciplinary contributions revealing different approaches and academic interests when researching pilgrimage.
Finally, the proposal introduces a comparative international breath to reflect upon such complex phenomenon that since Antiquity still impregnates the history of human being across the world.
As pilgrimage studies are closely related to mobility issues, how the contemporary mobile world is altering and re-signifying pilgrimage dynamics and meanings will also be discussed in detail.
The term “pilgrimage” evokes key concepts deriving from different fields, all of them collected in the final glossary. The primary audience of this work are academics and researchers from different fields involved in pilgrimage studies.
The work may also be useful in teaching (advanced) university courses.
