Nevertheless, there has hitherto been nearly no scientific study of this group, with the exception of a handful of specialised-journal articles. This collection fills that gap by collating the various scholarly contributions which over the years have dealt with Damanhur, aiming to present the phenomenon to a public of specialists, students and people who are just curious in a volume focusing on the multidisciplinary nature of the community as a whole. We consider the various spheres making up the social, cultural, spiritual and organisational life of Damanhur through analysis and interpretation of its historical evolution and more recent changes which have affected the community since its founder?s death. The contributions combine field research with theoretical reflection, making use of both qualitative (discursive interviews and participant observation) and quantitative (questionnaires) methods. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in New Religions and Alternative Spiritualities,$x2946-2665 606 $aSpirituality 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aSpirituality 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 615 0$aSpirituality. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 14$aSpirituality. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 676 $a016.2302 702 $aPalmisano$b Stefania 702 $aPannofino$b Nicola 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910632483903321 996 $aDamanhur$93090189 997 $aUNINA
