In her new book, Selling Jerusalem: Relics, Replicas, Theme Parks, Annabel Jane Wharton charts a course through the commercial and spiritual traffic of Jerusalem and Jerusalem-related memorabilia. Wharton’s central preoccupation is the relationship between commerce, materiality and representation,
and she situates her examination of the evolution of that tripartite relationship in Jerusalem. As she traces an historical trajectory that moves from ancient relics and medieval religious orders to lithographed images, panoramas, and postmodern theme parks, Wharton argues that we might better understand the historical and political attachments to the city of Jerusalem by attending to its representations – fragmented, architectural, touristic, artistic, and virtual.
