| Summary: | This article seeks to conceptualise Heimat not as a stable place of origin, but as a historically contingent and materially mediated claim to belonging. Through the narratives, rituals, and artefacts that surround the cult of Saint Angelo in Licata, Heimat emerges as something that has historically been articulated by reference to movement and displacement across the Mediterranean. In this sense, Heimat appears less as an inherited locality than as a devotional construct which is continually renewed through practice. |
