| Summary： | |
| In the history of research, ‘sacred places’ have played a prominent role as loci of epiphanic character, above all in phenomenological approaches to religion, but also in studies of sacred centres or pilgrimage. In many other perspectives, the temporal aspects of religion (routine, crisis rituals and rites de passage, conversion, calendar) have been foregrounded - place has been reduced to a mere setting. This lecture will present some thoughts on reconstructing religious action as a spatial practice that is sensitive to and creative of the character of settlements, in order to thus deal with "urban religion“. | |
