Military Pilgrimage and Battlefield Tourism is the first volume to
bring together a detailed analysis of professional military
pilgrimage with other forms of commemorating military conflict. The
volume looks beyond the discussion of battlefield tourism
undertaken primarily by civilians which has dominated research
until now through an analysis of the relationship between
religious, military and civilian participants. Drawing on a
comparative approach towards what has mostly been categorised as
secular pilgrimage, dark tourism/thanatourism, military and
religious tourism, and re-enactment, the contributors explore the
varied ways in which memory, material culture and rituals are
performed at particular places. The volume also engages with the
debate about the extent to which western definitions of pilgrimage
and tourism, as well as such related terms as religion, sacred and
secular, can be applied in non-western contexts.
