Book Description:
|
Using several historical and ethnographic examples and presenting original in-depth research from two case studies conducted in Japan, this book interrogates the semiotic conditions in which pilgrimage emerges as a transformative process, which involves subjects in search of identity. This is a process which strategically employs ritual space, narration, and memory through the performative use of body and experience.
