- Title
PROFANE EXPERIENCE AND SACRED ENCOUNTER: JOURNEYS TO DISNEY AND THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO.
- Authors
REDICK, Kip
- Abstract
This article explores the contrast of pilgrimage and tourism as sacred and profane journeys using Disney World and the Camino de Santiago as exemplars of such destinations. An entanglement of place structures reveals Disney World as a quasi-religious journey site for some whose tourist actions implicate a ritual centered on capitalist mythology. Disentangling sacred encounters and profane experiences demonstrates the role such places play in elevating community versus self-indulgence.
