Sacred Sites in Contested Regions

Religiocity project

Religiocity project

This project explores the religious landscape of Acre as both a cultural and a spatial phenomenon, therefore. It is multi-disciplinary in nature and combines understandings drawn from anthropology and sociology of religion together with cultural-political geography. As such, this study mostly engages with and fuses two broadly defined bodies of scholarship: the analysis of (a) the desecularization of cities and (b) the spatial turn in religious studies.
