Abstract:
This article explores how religious communities actualize the virtual problem of temporality. Analysing two case studies from contemporary America, Mormon Trek re-enactment and a creationist theme park re-creating Noah's ark, I argue that replication is a strategy for constructing a relationship with time in which a strict past-present divide is collapsed through affective means. This work contributes to comparative studies in the anthropology of religion and temporalizing the past.
