Claiming Sacred GroundPilgrims and Politics at Glastonbury and SedonaAdrian J. IvakhivA study of people and politics at two New Age spiritual sites.In this richly textured account, Adrian Ivakhiv focuses on the activities of pilgrimmigrants to Glastonbury, England and Sedona, Arizona. He discusses their efforts to encounter and experience the spirit or energy of the land and to mark out its significance by investing it with sacred meanings. Their endeavors are presented against a broad canvas of cultural and environmental struggles associated with the incorporation of such geographically marginal places into an expanding global cultural economy.Ivakhiv sees these contested and 'heterotopic' landscapes as the nexus of a complex web of interestes and longings: from millennial anxieties and nostalgic reimaginings of history and prehistory; to realestate power grabs; contending religious visions; and the free play of ideas from science, pseudoscience, and popular culture. Looming over all this is the nonhuman life of these landscapes, an'otherness' that alternately reveals and conceals itself behind a pagenant of beliefs, images, and placemyths.A significant contribution to scholarship on alternative spirituality, sacred space, and the politics of natural landscapes, Claiming Sacred Ground will interest scholars and students of environmental and cultural studies, and the sociology of religious movements and pilgrimage. Nonspecialist readers will be stimulated by the cultural, ecological, and spiritual dimensions of extraordinary natural landscapes.Adrian Ivakhiv teaches in the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University in Toronto, and is President of the Environmental Studies Association of Canada.April 2001384 pages, 24 b&w photos, 2 figs., 9 maps, 6 1/8 x 9 1/4, index, append.cloth 0253338999$37.40 s / 28.50ContentsIDEPARTURES1Power and Desire in Earth'sTangled Web2Reimagining Earth3Orchestrating Sacred SpaceIIGlastonbury4Stage, Props, and Players of Avalon5Many Glastonburys: PlaceMythsand Contested SpacesIIISEDONA6Red Rocks to Real Estate7New Agers, Vortexes, and theSacred LandscapeIVARRIVALS8Practices of Place: Nature andHeterotopia Beyond the New Age
