Abstract

Reframing Pilgrimage argues that sacred travel is just one of the twenty-first century's many forms of cultural mobility. The contributors consider the meanings of pilgrimage in Christian, Mormon, Hindu, Islamic and Sufi traditions, as well as in secular contexts, and they create a new theory of pilgrimage as a form of voluntary displacement. This voluntary displacement helps to constitute cultural meaning in a world constantly 'en route'. Pilgrimage, which works both on global economic and individual levels, is recognised as a highly creative and politically charged force intimately bound up in economic and cultural systems.

Abstract

Politicians and academics alike have made globalization the key reference point for interpreting the 1990s. For many, globalization threatens both community and the nation-state. It appears to represent forces beyond human control. 'Living the Global City' documents globalization's impact on everyday lives by drawing on research rather than rhetoric and arrives at a very different perspective. 'Living the Global City' provides an introduction to the debates surrounding globalization and global/local processes. By advancing these debates through a redefinition of the terms in which they have been developed and an engagement with the everyday lives of people in a global city, this book reveals how such key concepts as community, culture, class, poverty, and identity can be reconceptualized in the context of global/local processes.

Abstract

Although there has been a massive increase in the volume of pilgrimage research and publications, traditional Anglophone scholarship has been dominated by research in Western Europe and North America. In their previous edited volume, International Perspectives on Pilgrimage Studies (Routledge, 2015), Albera and Eade sought to expand the theoretical, disciplinary and geographical perspectives of Anglophone pilgrimage studies. This new collection of essays builds on this earlier work by moving away from Eurasia and focusing on areas of the world where non-Christian pilgrimages abound. Individual chapters examine the practice of ziyarat in the Maghreb and South Asia, Hindu pilgrimage in India and different pilgrimage traditions across Malaysia and China before turning towards the Pacific islands, Australia, South Africa and Latin America, where Christian pilgrimages co-exist and sometimes interweave with indigenous traditions. This book also demonstrates the impact of political and economic processes on religious pilgrimages and discusses the important development of secular pilgrimage and tourism where relevant. Highly interdisciplinary, international, and innovative in its approach, it will be of interest to those working in religious studies, pilgrimage studies, anthropology, cultural geography and folklore studies.

Abstract

Hauptbeschreibung Since the appearance of the post-colonial migrants and the guestworkers in the European societies, the cities have been the place to organize the social peace between people with different social and cultural backgrounds. Today's diversity however seems to be more related to the transnationalisation of urban life and the increasing opportunities of networking and acting in a globalizing world. This book contains case studies with regard to different aspects from an observable ethnically diverse city. With contributions by authors of various disciplines and
