It argues that sacred places provide a space that is less scrutinized by the state and where alternative visions of the socio-political may be produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA plethora of sites and case studies are examined, including the rural shrine of Maqam abu al-Hijja in the lower Galilee, the Mosque of Hassan Bek in the heart of Tel Aviv-Jaffa and the most disputed sacred place in the region, the Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem. These sites are explored through mostly a phenomenological lens and in various contexts, from the individual body to the global.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a critical-analytical study of the socio-political aspects of sacred sites in contemporary societies within the broader understanding of scale and the spatial turn in the study of religion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45711875833935,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1398.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/ja\/products\/9781350295766","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
