This pivot sets Muslim shrines within the wider context of Heritage
Studies in the Muslim world and considers their role in the
articulation of sacred landscapes, their function as sites of
cultural memory and their links to different religious traditions.
Reviewing the historiography of Muslim shrines paying attention to
the different ways these places have been studied, through
anthropology, archaeology, history, and religious studies, the text
discusses the historical and archaeological evidence for the
development of shrines in the region from pre-Islamic times up to
the present day. It also assesses the significance of Muslim
shrines in the modern Middle East, focusing on the diverse range of
opinions and treatments from veneration to destruction, and argues
that shrines have a unique social function as a means of direct
contact with the past in a region where changing political
configurations have often distorted conventional historical
narratives.
