Religion, Space, and the Atlantic World synopsis

While the concept of the Atlantic world has been central to the work of historians for decades, the full implications of this spatial situation for the lives of religious people have received far less attention. In religion, space and the Atlantic world, John Corrigan brings together researchers from geographers, anthropologists, literary scientists, historians and religious scholars to explore some of the possibilities and benefits of taking physical space more seriously in the study of religion. With a focus on four areas that more importantly reflect the area of ​​the Atlantic world for the form and practice of religion (texts, design, distance and urbanism), these articles explore various topics such as the location of churches in Camino Real in Peru, the evolution of Latin cathedrals, And Lutherans in America in the early 18th century.

These articles show how space organization was driven by religious interests and how religion adapted to individual order and rearrangement initiated by other cultural authorities. Case studies include wiping the original sacred areas of America by missionaries who serve as maps, contributing to North America's exposure as a vast area of ​​unregistered land ready for settlement.

Spanish explorers and missionaries reorganized indigenous space to impress people with the "power of observation" in the crown and the church. The new environment and culture often changed old institutions, such as restoring the European corridor to a distinct American space that offered independence and solidarity to religious women and served as a reference point for social stability with monasteries taking on larger public roles abroad. In the end, the ocean was re-conceived as a space rather than a conduit identified by the terrestrial masses that touched upon it, requiring certain types of religious attitudes to both place and time, which differed markedly from those on land.

Movement of people, ideas, texts, institutions, rituals, power, and the situation in and through space. They argue that, as the mental organization of our activity in the world and our remembering of events is of great relevance to our experience with space, we must take seriously the impact of this experience on a broader scale in how we understand our lives.
