Ces visitestouristiques et les activités qui s’y rattachent ontété conçues par suite d’histoires traumatisantes, etsont également le reflet de la montée en importancedes formes laı̈ques de l’expérience spirituelle parlesquelles la quête de la révélation est centrée sur soiplutôt qu’être hiérophantique.

Par ailleurs,l’enracinement de la mémoire collective dans leslieux et dans les structures sacralisées a tendance àdistancer, externaliser et désarmer le souvenirtraumatique. Dans ces conditions, les motivationset les expériences du visiteur sont polysémiques tantqu’elles sont fracturées, ambivalentes, instables etSightseeing in the mansions of the dead 493
