International audience ; Despite the trend of secularization, pilgrimages to sacred sites flourish. Most of the pilgrims are women and the reasons for their visits often have to do with the dynamics of women's lives. Some of the pilgrims to sites dedicated to St Mary are Muslims. This is interesting in the present political context in which lines are being redrawn between Christians and Muslims and their respective religious identities. Why would Muslims go to Marian shrines and how do they negotiate their relationship to the figure of the Virgin Mary and thereby define their gender and religious position? This article describes the experiences of Muslim pilgrims at Marian sites in Germany, Portugal and Turkey, and analyses these in terms of gender and religious identity.

Das gekaufte Souvenir ist nur scheinbar individuelles Symbol von Erlebtem. Daher müssen noch andere Faktoren Bedeutungsinhalte von Souvenirs konstituieren. Es ist ein Mittel der Kommunikation mit dem Verkäufer und mit dem Beschenkten, wenn es ein Mitbringsel ist. Es ist Symbol von Urlaub und Reise, Symbol eines temporären Eskapismus, Symbol eigener Er-Fahrung der Welt, Dokument eigener Geschichtlichkeit. Als exotistisches Objekt transzendiert es Raum, Fernes und Fremdes, als nostalgisches Objekt transzendiert es Zeit, als entwendetes, illegal erworbenes oder geschmuggeltes Objekt transzendiert es Normen und Werte. Als Wohnungsschmuck ist es Ausdruck ästhetischen Empfindens und Verhaltens und kann seinem Besitzer zur Kunst und zur Sammelware werden. Als Trophäe beweist es den Sieg seines Besitzers über die Welt und ist Objekt der Repräsentation und als solches Symbol sozialer Integration.
