Unlocking Contentious Heritage Matters
The Material Heritage of "The Wild Boars Cave Rescue"-A Case-Study of Emotions and Sacralisation in Present-Day Thailand
This article addresses the making of heritage and the processes of sacralisation involved by investigating the heritage created after the rescue of the "Wild Boars", a Thai youth football team, from a flooded cave in July 2018. The unfolding story of this "epic rescue operation" was followed with tremendous engagement, locally, nationally and worldwide, an example of what I capture as "high-density events". Cave diver specialists and rescue equip…
Making of Religious Heritage
The proliferation of religious heritage seems to flow self-evidently from the processes of de-churching and secularization taking place in many European societies. Although having become redundant or outdated, certain religious buildings, objects or practices may be revalued as religious heritage. This selective setting apart of religious places or practices considered 'redundant' as heritage - a value-adding process - involves a form of sacraliz…
Branching into heritage
This ethnography contributes to the field of Holocaust heritage studies by exploring the paradoxical tendencies of memorial proliferation and oblivion. The topic of investigation is the genesis and multiplications of the so-called 'Anne Frank Tree', the horse chestnut tree behind the Secret Annex that Anne Frank wrote about in her diary. Fungus-infected, the tree fell in 2010. The Anne Frank Tree testifies to both the terrible fate of the Europea…
The Secular Sacred
This book explores how religious emotions and national sentiment become entangled across the world, and the ways in which sacrality and secularity mutually inform, enforce, and spill over into each other, with examples from Barzil, Nigeria, the Netherlands, and beyond.
The Secular Sacred
Sacred waste
Death and disposal of the people's singer
This contribution focuses on the power of commemorative ritual with special attention for bodily matters. It relies on empirical material from a sequence of ceremonies in commemoration of Dutch singer André Hazes (1951–2004). All celebrations were staged performances and widely mediated events. In the Dutch context, they were of an unusual form, content and scale, and evoked widespread amazement and even disapproval. Significant in all these perf…
Modern thai encounters with the sublime
This paper addresses the specific capacities of portraits as objectifications mediating religious experience (cf. Meyer 2006). It will be argued that portraits of a divine being—in this case of King Chulalongkorn, king of Siam from 1868 until 1910—enable worshipers to establish a direct link with the divine while producing its direct presence at the same time. This immediate presence of King Chulalongkorn does not concern the historical person of…
