Note(s) : Bibliogr. en fin de contributions. Index. - "The idea of this book stemmed from the conference "Sacred places : performances,
politics and ecologies" organized in 2017 by the research group Cartographies of Belonging
of Liverpool Hope University", p. vii
"This collection offers a multi-layered, contemporary analysis of sacred sites and
their practices, politics, and ecologies. Presenting practice-as-research accounts
alongside theoretical analysis, this multidisciplinary volume brings together religious
studies, philosophy, anthropology, and performance studies. By focusing on practice
and performance rather than theology, it also expands the notion of sacred places
to contexts beyond institutionalized religion. The questions investigated are:
what is a sacred place? Is a place inherently sacred or does it become sacred? Is
it a paradigm, a real location, an imaginary place, a projected condition, a charged
setting, an enhanced perception? What kind of practices and processes allow the emergence
of a sacred place in human perception? And what is its function in contemporary societies?
In exploring these questions and more, Silvia Battista challenges the conventional
understanding of sacred places in contemporary contexts and sparks lively new debate
on the roles of religiosity and spirituality."
