“…This finding supports the research on the importance of communitastype community development (Arnould & Price, 1993;Turner, 1974), a type of development in which participants share a special lifeexperience in a rather unstructured, intense manner that facilitates a positive emotional connection to other participants. On AB trips, participants feel an intense identification with the community as a result of sharing genuine emotions and relinquishing the impression manage that governs their everyday lives (Goffman, 1959), as the comments above and below illustrate.…”

“…5-6). According to Turner (1974;2005, pp. 38-41), pilgrimage is a clear example of a liminal existence on the margins of geographical and social frameworks.…”

“…Turner described the liminal ritual time as charismatic, different, as a sacred reality in which the sacred objects, which are charged with symbolism and a higher reality, are presented and basic religious stories are repeated dramatically (Ben-Dor, 1985a, pp. 97-99;Turner, 1974;2005, p. 49).…”

Journey From a “Small Place” to a “Big Place”: Mediated and Divided Sanctity in a Pilgrimage Holiday

 Sacred spaces have usually been presented dichotomously in pilgrimage studies: small or big, near or far, at the "center of the world" or at the margins. This article discusses a unique combined pilgrimage during the Seged holiday of the Jews of Ethiopia, which is still celebrated today. Based on testimonies, I conclude that they made a physical and symbolic journey from the "small place" to the "big place". The "big place", similarly to the sacredness itself, was also divided into two memory places. The liturgy of the Seged mediated between the "small place" and the "big place". It also created a connection between the "small time" which includes the small everyday actions, and the "big time" which includes large leaps toward a mythological past.

“…Derived from the Latin term limen, which means "threshold," he defines liminality as representing "the midpoint of transition in a status-sequence between two positions." 15 All rituals include liminal phases, Turner argued, in which traditional status distinctions dissolve, normative social constraints abate, and a unique form of solidarity, or communitas, takes hold.…”

The article employs anthropological ritual theory and the concepts of symbolism and liminality to provide a theoretical framework for analyzing ethnographic insights into the academic peace research community in Germany. Using secondary sources for a broader historical outline, I analyze the evolution of peace research discourses in Germany from the beginnings as a new social movement to a contemporary professionalized policy space in which knowledge discourses are (re)produced. Academic conferences and the routines around presenting theoretical papers have become institutionalized by the ritual dynamics of a small group of organizers and venues, fostering “indoor rituals” that represent transformations of the activities of the “outdoor” peace movement that was active in postwar Germany for many decades.
