FYS 116C FROM HOLY LAND TO DISNEYLAND
Like other forms of human mobility, pilgrimage became a mass phenomenon starting in the nineteenth century, thanks to the development of modern transportation (trains, steamships, automobiles, and airplanes). In this course we will look at various pilgrimages, both religious and secular, in connection with modern world-historical processes such as imperialism, nationalism, mass consumerism, mass tourism, and globalization. We will focus as much on pilgrimage destinations (including Mecca, Disneyland, Jerusalem) as on the process of getting there.
