Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In contemporary Western culture ritual spaces are preserved, destructedand reconstructed. Examples are the rearrangement of churches, the rise ofmulti-religious urban ritual spaces, the remarkable vitality of places ofpilgrimage and war cemeteries, and the growing popularity of lieux dememoi…re in general with their accompanying forms of 'topolatry'and 'geopiety'. This volume - initiated by a Dutch research group -explores the transformations of ritual space in the modern West fromvarious angles. The first programmatic part of the book focuses on theresearch into the triad of space/place, ritual and religion/sacrality andthe essentially contested notion of the sacred. The next set ofcontributions deals with the relations between memorial culture and place.American 'landscapes of tragedy', memorial sites for the filmmaker andjournalist Theo van Gogh and the popular Dutch singer Andre Hazes, and theCancer Memorial Forest in The Netherlands that commemorates the victims ofthis disease, are analysed in some detail. The third part of the booksituates ritual space in the tension between tradition and modernity. Theexamples of redundant church buildings and rooms of silence, andespecially the construction of a new Roman Catholic Cathedral in Oakland,California, show how people construct and re-invent ritual spaces. In thefinal part, the vicissitudes of Mormon temple space and the wide-spreadphenomenon of people ritually throwing coins into water are explored froma cultural-anthropological perspective. The triangle place/space, ritual,sacrality/religion proves to be crucial in the exploration of theprocesses of re-inventing ritual space in modern Western culture. Newforms of memorialization mixed with traditional elements, changingrelationships between private and public, individual and collective,temporary and permanent dimensions, and the contested character of sacredspaces all point to a new religious dynamics, characterized by theprocesses of individualisation, emotionalisation andde-institutionalisation.
