| description | The modern pilgrimage - to sites ranging from Elvis's Graceland to the Vietnam veterans' annual Ride to the Wall to Jim Morrison's Paris grave - is intertwined with our existential uncertainties in the face of a rapidly changing world. In a climate that reproduces the religious quest in seemingly secular places, it is no longer clear exactly what the term pilgrimage infers - and this unique glimpse at the modern spiritual journeys critiques our notions of the secular and the sacred, while commenting on the media's multiplication of images that renders the modern pilgrimage a quest without an object. Using new ethnographical and theoretical approaches, this vivid collection offers a surprising new vision on the nonsecularity of the "secular" pilgrimage. |

Using new ethnographical and theoretical approaches, this vivid collection offers a surprising new vision on the nonsecularity of the "secular" pilgrimage. Vanuit een antropologisch perspectief wordt in dit boek bevestigd dat de mens een voortdurende behoefte aan bedevaart heeft, zelfs in onze moderne wereld. Het boek analyseert op welke wijze de moderne bedevaart verstrengeld is geraakt met menselijke existentiële problemen en onzekerheden, maar ook op welke wijze moderne media beelden scheppen die in staat zijn de behoefte van bedevaarders aan tastbare overblijfselen van het cultobject uit weten te sluiten en daarmee nieuwe vormen van bedevaart kan creëren. Het vervagen van het bestaande opbiechtende paradigma maakt ruimte voor een nieuwe route op weg naar het heilige. Zodoende hebben de tien schrijvers van deze bundel diverse en fascinerende etnografische veldonderzoeken gedaan - variërend van onderzoek naar Soekarno en 'cancer' bossen tot onderzoek naar Jim Morrison en Tito - met de bedoeling om de religieuze factor aanwezig bij deze, op het eerste oog, seculaire plaatsen te vangen en te bevestigen, om zo uiteindelijk het fenomeen van de bedevaart te kunnen beoordelen. Deze bundel distantieert zich van de 'traditionele' bedevaart en op basis van de gewonnen data en de evaluatie van de hoofdtheoretische benaderingen, geeft dit boek een nieuwe visie op moderne vormen van bedevaart en sluit het het concept van 'seculaire bedevaart' uit. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2010-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T15:36:33Z 2008 book 340101 OCN: 310853194 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35229 9789089640116 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/26118 eng open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35229/1/340101.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35229/1/340101.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35229/1/340101.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35229/1/340101.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789089640116 10.5117/9789089640116 de2ecbe7-1037-4e96-8c3a-5a842d921e04 9789089640116 364 open access |
