| Shrnutí: | This research note aims to account for the theoretical and methodological paths emerging from an on-going research on the spatial effects of international religious mobility in the spaces towards which it converges. Initiated in the framework of a project of the MSH Paris Nord entitled “From memory to territories: questioning the production of places of mobility”, this research focuses on the question of the places these touristic-religious mobilities concur to produce. It addresses both the practices these places generate and their material dimension. An exploratory field in Israel in 2016 has shown how, spreading out spatially, pilgrimages and religious tourism participate not only to produce places but also to produce different types of places. Three of these “places of mobility” have been identified: pilgrimage places, substitution places built to overcome the difficulty of accessing some holy places and theme parks. These observations raise the question of the processes, the actors and the modalities of production of these different types of places. It also raises the question of the circulation between these places and the circulation of these places themselves, across the Israeli-Palestinian national borders. |
