Beskrivelse
A fascinating collection exploring the dual aspects of pilgrimage in the ancient Mediterranean: the sacred destinations and the journeys undertaken to reach them.
An interdisciplinary look at pilgrimage focusing on sacred sites and the movement of pilgrims across ancient Greek, Roman, and late antique worlds.
Pilgrims in Place, Pilgrims in Motion: Sacred Travel in the Ancient Mediterranean brings together diverse scholarly perspectives on pilgrimage’s two interconnected themes: the holy sites visited and the travel itself. The contributions delve into ideas of place, community dynamics, social tensions, and the expectations placed on pilgrims.
The book explores how places hold long-term significance through memory and landscape, as well as how mobility, migration, and the creation of place relate to pilgrimage. It also examines connectivity and its role in these sacred travels.
Individual chapters focus on shrines, sanctuaries, and sacred locations, alongside discussions of journeys and movement within Greek, Roman, and late antique contexts. This work frames these discussions within a key debate in pilgrimage studies-the ongoing tension between the fixed nature of place and the fluidity of motion.
