Opis

This book pushes the boundaries of geographies of religion to bring into focus questions of spirituality. By seeing religion through the lens of practice rather than as a set of beliefs, geographies of religion can be interpreted much more widely, bringing a whole range of other spiritual practices to light. The book is split into four sections, each contextualised with an editors introduction, to explore the spirit of place, spaces of spiritualist, spiritual practices and spirit, politics and social change. This book intends to open to up new questions and approaches through the theme of spirituality, pushing the boundaries on current topics and introducing innovative new ideas, such as esoteric or radical spiritual practices. This landmark book not only captures a significant moment in geographies of spirituality, but acts as a catalyst for future work."
