Sacred And Space In Post-Secular Pilgrimage: The Camino De Santiago And Relational Model Of The Sacred, Piotr Roszak

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

The aim of this paper is to shed light on the changes in perceiving the sacred which have appeared in the history of pilgrimage. These are linked with different theological approaches to space and subsequent periods of desacralisation, secularization and re-sacralisation. Relying on a modern theology of pilgrimage and research into the philosophy of religion by M. Eliade the paper offers a new interpretation of the message of the Camino de Santiago which overcomes previous reductionisms based on seeing the sacred solely in the destination (the shrine). The relationship with the Camino and the content of pilgrim blessings indicate the …

Pilgrims’ Play On The Santiago Way, Daniel Moulin-Stożek

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

The popularity of the walking pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela across Northern Spain is often understood as a new kind of spiritual tourism rather than a revival of religious practice. In order to examine this claim, I explore common symbolic and ritual practices on the trail such as rock placing, message making, role playing, and partaking in communal play activities. I elaborate the concept of play to explain these behaviors and consider how they relate to transcendental and sacred meanings. This analysis has important implications for explaining the current popularity of the Camino. In particular, it helps explain how the …

From Private Devotion To Universal Phenomenon: The Way Of Saint James In Spain, The Case Of Navarra, Alban D’Entremont, Jesús Tanco Lerga

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

This article analyses the process leading to the restoring, revitalisation and consolidation of the Way of Saint James in Spain in recent decades, and its conversion from a merely private and residual pilgrimage route of just several hundred individuals, into an important cultural and spiritual reality having a worldwide impact. The region of Navarra is used to highlight typical places of interest located on the Way of Saint James, and as an example of an experience that can be extrapolated and exported, of the activities, projects, events, decisions and actions undertaken in a huge collaborative effort that has given rise …

Religious Tourism Vs. Sacred Space Experience: Conflict Or Complementary Interaction?, Tomasz Duda, Dariusz Doburzyński

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

Contemporary religious tourism, which in many cases is incorrectly identified with the phenomenon of pilgrimage, has developed in recent years as a separate form of migration and activity in the tourism space. However, in the literature of the subject, there is a large variety of problem perspectives, depending on the viewpoint chosen by the given author and the scientific discipline that he/she represents. The most frequently occurring problem is the terminological ambiguity regarding the concepts of ‘religious tourism’ and ‘pilgrimage’. The aim of this article is to draw attention to the diversity of understanding of the sacred space presented by …

Enhancing The Capacity Of Siso & Mimo Systems Within Modified Environments Using Frequency Selective Surfaces, Nidal Qasem

Al-Balqa Journal for Research and Studies البلقاء للبحوث والدراسات

In this paper, the design of a Double Square Loop Frequency Selective Surface (DSL FSS) is presented. The DSL FSS is designed to band-stop 2.4 GHz and 5.5 GHz and allow all other frequencies to pass into an area of interest. ‘Wireless InSite’ is used to simulate wave propagation in modified buildings with FSS to prove the enhancement of capacity. The simulation was carried out on Single Input Single Output (SISO) and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems. The effect of Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) on such systems’ capacity was verified. The target SISO and MIMO systems are located in …

Islamic State E-Caliphate On Twitter: An Observational Study, Sultan Al-Masaeed

Al-Balqa Journal for Research and Studies البلقاء للبحوث والدراسات

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) media strategy is a successful one.

In this exploratory research, an observational research was undertaken to explore the strategies and tactics deployed by the group in their use of Twitter.

Linguistic Measurement Between Consenters And Objectors And Its Effect On Sharia Ruling, Mousa Abu Al Reesh

Al-Balqa Journal for Research and Studies البلقاء للبحوث والدراسات

This article deals with points of view in study sources impinging on the possibility of ratifying or discrediting Sharia ruling through the adoption of linguistic measurement. While there are some who oppose this approach, there are others who approve of it considering that the relationship between linguistic structures and meanings is like the relationship between the body and the uniform – one can be made to fit the other. Yet the issue is not dependent only on how meanings are communicated as much as it is on communication itself. If study sources emphasize meanings due to their relation to Sharia …
