Opis

The book is a comparative study of the Būdshīshiyya Order in Morocco and Western Europe. It examines the embodied expressions of Sufism by looking at the ways in which religious discourses are bodily endorsed, by exploring the religious body in movement, in performance and in relation to the social order.
