Through case studies of three pilgrimage sites related to the
Virgin Mary, this book explores how pilgrimage places in today's
globalized world do not exist as contained spaces but have porous
boundaries, both physically and conceptually. Taking an
interdisciplinary approach that draws on art history and heritage
studies, the book considers the cathedral of Chartres, France;
Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina; and the House of Mary near
Ephesus, Turkey. In all three sites, the place of pilgrimage
accommodates multiple different purposes and groups of people,
intermingling devotional and commercial aspects, different memory
narratives, and heterogeneous audiences. By mapping these porous
boundaries, the book calls into question how we define pilgrimage
place, and shows how pilgrimage sites are not set apart from the
everyday world, but intimately connected with wider cultural,
political, and material dynamics. This study will be relevant to
scholars engaging with issues of pilgrimage, cultural heritage, and
art across religious studies, art history, anthropology, and
sociology.
