قراءة أنثروبولوجية لأشكال الحياة الدينية في رحلة ابن جبير

Abstract EN

Ibn Jubayr's trip is considered as one of the pioneering journeys in the history of Arabic anthropological research owing to the methodological mechanisms available in it that included description and analysis of the life structure of the societies he visited during his journey to perform the pilgrimage (hajj).

this study aims at discussing the religious pattern in ibn Jubayr’s trip and reading it from an anthropological perspective by examining religious life and the manifestations of holiness in its different aspects of place, time, deeds and ritual practices to explore, through its analysis, its origins and extensions throughout human history.

for this sake, the following questions are raised : what were the manifestations of religion and forms of the holiness in this trip ? and what are the foundations of the latter and its mechanisms, as well as its anthropological dimensions ?
