Università Roma Tre

This course aims to offer a deep knowledge e about the history of some subjects and approaches about religion and in particular about authors, works and approaches on the study of the relationship between religion and space (form the geography of religion to the geography of religions)

We will discuss competences about theories, concepts, terminology and methodologies in the study of religions places and the localization of the sacred in the space, through materiality and relations of planning

This course provides students with theoretical knowledge of religious space/site, but also with results of some empirical researches about religious sites in spaces that are increasingly heterogeneous because of human migration and diaspora phenomena.
The main case study that will be examined is case of shared religious places, in urban and extra-urban spaces.
