Abstract
Anthropology of movement is one of the modern optics in humanitarian movements, which arose in the context of modern “turns” in philosophy, such as the “material turn”, “spatial turn”, “mobility turn”, which drew attention to the significance of material structures in social being. The study examines the leading approaches in this direction, developed by J. Urry, T. Ingold, Russian anthropologist and ethnographer A.V. Golovnev. The methodological framework of the systems of interconnected mobilities (J. Urry), ecological anthropology of landscape paths (T. Ingold), the scheme “motive-decision-action” (A.V. Golovnev) can be successfully applied in the field of academic religious studies, applying to the analysis of various cases, both in the field of sociology of religion, the study of the autopoiesis of religious communication reflected in texts, as well as in the field of private religion.
