Chthonian Spirits and Shared Shrines: The Dynamics of Place among Christians and Muslims in Anatolia
Résumé
this paper examines religious practices in and around miraculous shrines associated with the cult of Saint George/Hidrellez that has often been proposed as a typical example of syncretism in Anatolia and the Balkan region. These shared shrines are typically situated outside villages and towns, beyond the limits of territories belonging to a single religious community. Narratives -collected as ethnographic material in Istanbul today or through research in the Archives of the Asia Minor Studies centre in Athens -- help revisit notions such as "sharing" and "tolerance" as applied to relations between Muslims and Christians in late ottoman times and today.
