Opis

Military Pilgrimage and the Commemoration of Conflict is the first volume to bring together a detailed analysis of professional military pilgrimage with other forms of commemorating military conflict. Using a comparative approach towards what has mostly been categorised as secular pilgrimage, the volume explores the relationship between religious, military and civilian participants. It questions western etic definitions of religion and locates this challenge within a cross-cultural analysis of emic categorisations where respondents and researchers seek to understand their journeys and destinations in terms of particular categories, e.g. memory, nation, pilgrimage, tourism, the sacred, the secular and religion.
