| Summary: | "This book gathers contributions that address pilgrim motivation, identity and values as they are shaped by the broader sociological, psychological, cultural and anthropological perspectives. The focus of the book is the travellers themselves and their inner world through the lens of their pilgrimage. In a post-modern consumer society, intentional journeys as a pilgrimage can foster self-development and new forms of self-expression. The case studies in the book provide interesting and challenging perspectives on the identity of pilgrims in the 21st century. In particular, the book presents the perceptions of values-rich journeys in the age of value transformations and identity challenges. The collection of case studies and models of pilgrims' identities reveal the complexity of the pilgrimage phenomenon and its ability to adapt to various changes. In terms of organizational structure, this book is divided into four parts. Part I (chapters 2-5) focuses on the more general aspects of the pilgrim's identity and values. Part II (chapters 6-9) provides an overview of motivations, values, identities and behaviour of the pilgrims travelling to Santiago de Compostela. Part III (chapters 10-18) provides key studies on pilgrims' values and identities in different regions. Concluding insights and discussions are included in Part IV (chapters 19-20). The book includes discussion questions for each chapter and a subject index." -- Publisher's description. |
