This interdisciplinary Handbook addresses emerging and contemporary themes, challenges and possibilities in the study of religion, space and place, from climate change to social memory, and from tourism to virtual worlds.
Over 35 research-led chapters cover a range of theoretical, methodological and disciplinary perspectives (both conceptual and empirical) to ensure that the Handbook will be a reference point for scholars and students searching for innovative engagements with critical issues relating to religion, place and space.
The Handbook is divided into nine thematic sections, which offer wide ranging interpretations of ‘space’:
· Theories and methods
· Pilgrimage
· Digital mediation
· Diasporic Space
· Place-making
· Well-being
· Heritage and social memory
· Sustainability
· The City.
The case studies are drawn from across the Global North and Global South including Australia, Brazil, Ghana, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Lebanon, New Zealand, Pakistan and the UK and USA. The chapters address the role of religion as a significant site and occasion of place-making, border-crossing and social and political force in the lives of ordinary people.
