Inhaltsangabe

This book investigates the dynamics of religious rituals as part of urban processes, offering a substantial contribution to ritual and urban studies. This book offers an interdisciplinary approach entwining ritual, urban and spatial theories. Although the book makes a substantial contribution to Iranian and Shia studies, but more importantly it offers a new spatial ritual theory, placing ritual studies at the heart of urban studies. This book offers an alternative reading of Shia rituals history: the spatial gerontology of Shi’i rituals.
