This book reveals the rewards of exploring the relationship between art and religion in the first millennium, and the particular problems of comparing the visual cultures of different emergent and established religions of the period in Eurasia-Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroas-trianism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity and the pagan religions of the Roman world. Most of these became established and remained in play as what are called 'the world religions'. The chapters in this volume show how the long traditions of studying these topics are caught up in complex local, ancestral, colonial and post-colonial discourses and biases, which have made comparison difficult. The study of late antiquity turns out also to be an examination of the intellectual histories of modernity.
Research Interests: Roman Historiography, Late Antique and Byzantine Studies, Medieval Historiography, Late Antique Archaeology, Late Antiquity, and 11 moreOttoman Historiography, Historiography (in Art History), Jewish historiography, Late Antique Art and Archaeology, Byzantine historiography, Late Antiquity and Byzantium (History and Art), Islamic Historiography, Vienna School of Art History, Historiography of Art History, Empires of Faith Project, and Historiography of Late Antique and Early Christian Art

The Seductions of Pilgrimage explores the simultaneously attractive and repellent, beguiling and alluring forms of seduction in pilgrimage. It focuses on the varied discursive, imaginative, and practical mechanisms of seduction that draw individual pilgrims to a pilgrimage site; the objects, places, and paradigms that pilgrims leave behind as they embark on their hyper-meaningful travel experience; and the often unforeseen elements that lead pilgrims off their desired course. Presenting the first comprehensive study of the role of seduction on individual pilgrims in the study of pilgrimage and tourism, it will appeal to scholars of anthropology, cultural geography, tourism, heritage, and religious studies.
