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 founders death. The contributions combine field research with theoretical reflection, making use of both qualitative (discursive interviews and participant observation) and quantitative (questionnaires) methods. 001453491 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001453491 650_0 $$aNew Age movement$$zItaly. 001453491 650_0 $$aReligious communities$$zItaly. 001453491 651_0 $$aDamanhur (Italy) 001453491 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001453491 7001_ $$aPalmisano, Stefania,$$eeditor. 001453491 7001_ $$aPannofino, Nicola,$$eeditor. 001453491 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tDAMANHUR.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2022$$z3031101367$$w(OCoLC)1322809640 001453491 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in new religions and alternative spiritualities. 001453491 852__ $$bebk 001453491 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-10137-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001453491 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1453491$$pGLOBAL_SET 001453491 980__ $$aBIB 001453491 980__ $$aEBOOK 001453491 982__ $$aEbook 001453491 983__ $$aOnline 001453491 994__ $$a92$$bISE
