This volume provides a theoretically- and empirically-grounded
study of the significance of landscape, its intersection with
cultural heritage, and associated implications for tourism, in
Christian pilgrimage. It provides an international and
interdenominational perspective on these issues, drawing on a wide
range of examples and using three detailed case studies: Meteora,
Greece; Subiaco, Italy; and the Isle of Man, British Isles. These
case studies have been chosen for their international and
denominational diversity, as well as rich landscape and heritage
contexts. They include Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic and
Ecumenical/ Protestant denominations, incorporating different
Christian theologies, practices and perspectives on the nature and
purpose of pilgrimage. None have received significant attention
within pilgrimage literature and thus provide a wealth of new
comparative data to evaluate in relation to existing studies of
Christian pilgrimage. They draw on rich participant experiential
accounts and interviews with clergy, laity and local
stakeholders.
The volume provides analysis of this original data which is
inflected by careful attention to theoretical and conceptual
engagement with literature on mobilities, sacred place and
practice, place-temporalities, aesthetics, embodiment and
performance, "communitas," emotion and affect, theology and
spiritualities, multi-faith and post-secular society, cultural
heritage, consumption and commodification, and the pilgrim-tourist
continuum.
