Short summary
“Religious spaces” can become a powerful nucleus of (geo-) political imaginations, identities, and conflicts. The paper outlines this aspect using the example of Tibet. It does however not primarily discuss the quite well known antagonistic constructions of pro-Chinese and pro-Tibetan geopolitical discourses. Rather, it addresses the differences in the production of religious spaces and identities within Tibetan society and their consequences for the development of a Tibetan national identity.
