Papers for “Imagining Pilgrimage to Santiago: Itineraries, Narratives, Myths” will address the confrontation of real and imagined pilgrimage, exploring phenomenological and sensorial aspects, the visionary and eschatological implications of spiritual travel, spatial and material agency, and landscape and cartographic geographies of pilgrimage, among others. Speakers include: Kathryn Brush, Thomas Deswarte, James D’Emilio, Elvira Fidalgo, Elina Gertsman, Melanie Hanan, Patrick Henriet, Dominique Iogna-Prat, F. López Alsina, Wendy Pullan, Rocio Sánchez Ameijeiras, Alison Stones, Stefan Trinks, Michele Vescovi, Rose Walker.
