interactive bibliography
-
The bibliography is an ever-expanding catalog of traditional and digital publications concerning the study of shared sacred sites. The foundation of the catalog began with the digitization of the bibliographies of four recent collected volumes, listed below, representing an up-to-date survey of the most important texts of the field as of 2016. Subsequently, new entries have been added as new works have been published, and the team is routinely working to add additional materials as they become known.

The entries of the catalog are primarily focused on studies concerning the Eastern Mediterranean region, with a secondary focus on studies dealing with sites in South Asia. While this represents the preferential interests of the published research to a degree, it is also an admitted weakness of the initial bibliography. We continue to work towards the inclusion of additional materials. Please contact us if you wish to suggest new additions.

Barkan, Elazar, and Karen Barkey, eds. 2015. Choreographies of Shared Sacred Sites : Religion and Conflict Resolution. New York: Columbia University Press.

The primary tool shared by most of the projects on the website is the bibliography, a catalog of references to bibliographic and multimedia publications on the subject of shared sacred sites. While this typically means references to traditional (offline) books and articles, increasingly, this material is appearing online, and wherever possible a hyperlink to the publication is provided. The bibliography is continually enhanced through the addition of new publications.

Shared Sacred Sites Recommends
rECommended by: Anna Bigelow
Since the Arab Spring in 2011 and ISIS’s rise in 2014, Egypt’s Copts have attracted attention worldwide as the collateral damage of revolution and as victims of sectarian strife. Countering persecution rhetoric and Islamophobia, The Political Lives of Saints draws on extensive fieldwork to explore how popular saints function as material media that organize social relations between Christians and Muslims in Egypt toward varying political ends.

This special issue offers insight into the formation, adaptation, and negotiation of shared and contested sacred places and devotional practices and provides a more nuanced picture of the multiplicity of interfaith crossings and their historical transformations. The articles combine (art) history/archaeology, Islamic Studies and anthropology; attend to wider cultural interminglings; open up new theoretical considerations; and point to new research directions on multi-faith sacred centres.

This volume studies the immortal saint Khidr/Khizr, a mysterious prophet and popular multi-religious figure and Sufi master venerated across the Muslim world. Bringing together the different worship practices of Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Sikhs in countries with very different cultural and religious backgrounds, the study includes research from the Balkans to the Punjabs in Pakistan and in India.
