The memory of a meeting in Rome with Manuel Revuelta leads me to reconsider how to study the pilgrimages that multiplied in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. When we remake that of 1889 Alcover (Catalonia, Spain) as a physical journey of a crowd, behaviors appear that have nothing to do with the ideology of the organizers, a fundamentalism (the “integralism”). This also leads me to remember Victor Turner’s approaches and Michel de Certeau’s invention of the quotidian. I wonder what that plural perspective adds to classical history and brings us closer to reality.
