REL 358 SITES AND RITES: SACRED SPACE AND RITUAL IN WORLD RELIGIONS
This course explores how real and ideal spaces reflect and shape our perceptions of the sacred. It investigates how geometric principles, utopian ideals, local culture, ritual activities and political agendas reconstruct cosmic order and complicate meaning at some of the world's most awe-inspiring - and historically contested - places. A final segment on pilgrimage completes the course.
