Walking On Walls: Shifting Perspectives In A Post-Modern World, Philip Szporer
Walking On Walls: Shifting Perspectives In A Post-Modern World, Philip Szporer
International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage
In ‘Walking on Walls,’ Philip Szporer brings dance and pilgrimage into fascinating relationship. He resituates American choreographer and dancer Trisha Brown’s radical approach to the human body in terms of core concepts that have shaped pilgrimage theory. Szporer proposes that pilgrimage, place, and mobility theories provide useful lenses for an innovative re-examination of Brown’s pioneering dance pieces. Like pilgrimage, her ideas and contributions were enacted outside - and often in contradistinction to - the control of institutional authority.

Event Running And Pilgrimage: A Comparative Case Study, Janice Poltrick-Donato
International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

Introduction : The Body Is The Place Where Pilgrimage Happens, Sara Terreault
International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage
This paper lays the groundwork for reflection on pilgrimage in Christian and postChristian contexts, specifically as a cluster of performative practices of movement through time and across space, originating and substantiated in the lived flesh of pilgrim bodies-in-the-world. Thinking with Eade, Sallnow, and Poteat, no less than with Badiou, Eagleton, and Ricoeur, the author theorises the pilgrim body at the nexus of bodies, topographies, mobilities, and narratives.
