Introduction: Topo-dynamic of place and body / The stupa of Borobudur, a place of inner pilgrimage / Coming to oneself: structures of arrival in songs sung by flagellant pilgrims in Strassburg in 1349 / St Clement of Rome: the Romanic-Slavic symbiosis of the cult and its tradition in the Croatian lands / The literature of pilgrimage and the search for community: Cees Nooteboom's roads to Santiago and the imagining of national and pan-European identities / Catholic approaches to Jerusalem: fragmentation and continuity of identities: Evelyn Waugh's Helena and Muriel Spark's The Mandelbaum gate / Colonus Heterotopos: theatre as tragic inversion of ritual order / Reading the other: Bakhtin and the topography of arrival in literature / From exile to escape: frame narratives of the Decameron and the Heptameron / Pilgrimage, transformation and poetical anthropology: Hubert Fichte's journeys into the Afro-American religions in Brazil / Magic of the city: travel narratives of the Project "Año 0" / Topographies real and imagined in Sarah Orne Jewett's A white heron / Gert Hofmann and Snježana Zorić -- Snježana Zorić -- Michael Shields -- Antonija Zaradija Kiš -- John Outhwaite -- Martin Potter -- Gert Hofmann -- David Buchanan -- Irina Dzero -- Andreas Stuhlmann -- Ketevan Kupatadze -- Adrienne Bernhard.
Travelling is the art of motion, motion results in moments of human encountering, and such moments manifest themselves in unsettling linguistic repercussions and crises of meaning. Places of arrival also function as inscriptions of such meaningful repercussions, inscriptions of the past crossing the present, of the other crossing the self. The contributions in this book explore places, rituals, texts and scriptures as religious or secular inscriptions??topographies?? of such?arrivals.?Each arrival happens, and its very place manifests itself only as a momentous component of the process it.
