Dear ANTHROPOLOGY-MATTERS Subscribers,
I hope the following will be of interest to you:
Intersecting Journeys
The Anthropology of Pilgrimage and Tourism
Edited by Ellen Badone and Sharon R. Roseman
An interdisciplinary collection that bridges the dichotomy between sacred and secular travel
"Pilgrimage, a classic subject of anthropological inquiry, and tourism, of increasing interdisciplinary interest, are here brought together with mutually illuminating results. Badone and Roseman offer scholars, students, and many others a rich range of cases and analytic approaches in essays that are individually interesting and, collectively, make an important contribution to current anthropological reflection on 'meaningful journeys.'"- Lawrence Taylor, National University of Ireland and author of Occasions of Faith: An Anthropology of Irish Catholics
The appeal of sacred sites remains undiminished at the start of the twenty-first century, as unprecedented numbers of visitors travel to Lourdes, Rome, Jerusalem, Santiago de Compostela, and even Star Trek conventions. Ethnographic analysis of the conflicts over resources and meanings associated with such sites, as well as the sense of community they inspire, provides compelling evidence re-emphasizing the links between pilgrimage and tourism. As the papers in this collection demonstrate, studies of these forms of journeying are at the forefront of postmodern debates about movement and centers, global flows, social identities, and the negotiation of meanings.
Ellen Badone is an associate professor of anthropology and religious studies at McMaster University, and author of The Appointed Hour: Death, Worldview and Social Change in Brittany. Sharon R. Roseman is an assistant professor of anthropology at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
