As a niche field, pilgrimage studies has long been
multidisciplinary and draws interest from pilgrims, practitioners,
and academic scholars. Despite the burgeoning corpus of pilgrimage
literature, there is a gap related to disciplinary-specific
publications which reflect how pilgrimage is conceptualised and
studied by academics. Moreover, many academic publications assume
the reader is familiar with particular research methods and/or
theoretical paradigms that inform the work, which is often not the
case. The goal of the current volume is to present a foundational
text for understanding various disciplines that contribute to the
field of pilgrimage studies and to bridge the gulf between academic
scholarship and 'popular' pilgrimage literature. To this end, each
chapter is organized in a similar format, which includes an
overview of the discipline or field of study, a brief history, and
the types of questions that are addressed by the discipline.
Building on this foundation, the chapters include a section on
contemporary literature pertaining to pilgrimage or pilgrimage-like
phenomena. Authors further consider theoretical perspectives and
methodological concerns. Finally, authors explore recommendations
for future research and/or directions for advanced exploration. The
volume includes chapters from disciplines formerly silent on
pilgrimage phenomena such as public administration, information
studies, and digital humanities.
