Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Examines spiritually motivated travel over a 1,500-year period from a social scientific perspective. Bringing together prominent scholars in the sociology of religion, this collection of essays offers a framework for understanding the transition from the essentially penitential purposes of the medieval pilgrimage, to the rise of the varied spiritualities of contemporary religious tourism. Covering over 1,500 years of religious travel, these essays explore the forms of expression and experience which we must engage reflectively to better understand the idea of pilgrimage and religious tourism as an important aspect of religious affirmation. This unique volume sheds light on the transformation of the traditional religious pilgrimage into a tourist activity and examines the influence of modern culture, technology, and secularization on spiritually motivated travel. The editors conclude that a sharp distinction between "pilgrimage" and religious "tourism" is historically unjustified.While the purposes of such travel have changed over time, they remain a part of a larger religio-cultural context, offering avenues for religious encounter, just as pilgrimage in earlier eras permitted the development of various "secular" dimensions. Covering such diverse topics as Pagan pilgrimage and Postmodern Traditionalism, medieval pilgrimage and disaster site visitation, the authors provide an interesting look at an often misunderstood phenomenon. Academics in sociology of religion at universities in Canada, the UK, the US, Belgium, and Italy have contributed ten essays on the phenomenon of pilgrimage. Among the topics are: neo-pagan pilgrimage to sites that include Stonehenge; pilgrimage to the site of the Virgin's image in a window in Clear Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
