Includes bibliographical references. At the heart of this thesis lies the argument that pilgrimage is a universal, longrooted, normal and vital aspect of human behaviour that shows no sign of abating in the modern world; that is is a fluid and flexible process, imbued with a multiplicity of meanings and functions that may fall inside or outside the authentication of large religious traditions and certainly existed before them; that the primary measure of pilgrimage should be that of intent or purpose and therefore pilgrimages can be categorised according to function; and that the inner journey is the most important feature of authentic pilgrimage but does not overrule obligation or traditional practice. 2014-10-06T11:46:26Z 2014-10-06T11:46:26Z 2006 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8191 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
