By looking at specific architectural fragments, analysing the insertion of Christian edifices in colonial urban settings, or unravelling the social understanding of missionary places, each of the chapters contemplates an aspect of the agency of mission spaces.Bringing together scholars from different disciplines, this book approaches missionary places not as the mere d cor against which the missionary encounter was enacted, but as an integral part of it. In doing so, the contributors test the applicability of the spatial turn, an interpretative paradigm that has been dominant across the humanities since the late 1990s, to missionary historiography.Richly illustrated and with a global focus, the volume addresses case studies from, among other countries, China, Japan, Madagascar, Congo, Tanzania, Ghana, and Lebanon.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: BEItem Height: 280mmItem Length: 225mmContributor: Thomas Coomans (Edited by)Author: Thomas CoomansGenre: Architecture & AntiquesTopic: History, Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: KADOC ArtesRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
