Beschreibung
Inspired by cosmological representations and world maps from medieval and early modern Europe, this book addresses the contemporary relevance of spatiality for the study of religion and related disciplines. How is religious plurality spatially performed? Which visions, imaginations and utopias are mirrored in those places? Such questions lead the reader on an imaginary journey, from the peaks of the Alps to subterranean tunnels, from Victorian funerary sites to digital memorials, weaving through unique urban architecture, museums and interactive exhibitions.
This title is also available as Open Access.
