 or altogether social—of getting on a bus in Tehran to embark on an eight-h
 undred-mile journey across two international borders to the Sayyida Zainab
  shrine outside Damascus? Under what material conditions can such values b
 e established, reassessed, or transgressed, and by whom? Yildiz's book\
 , Zainab’s Traffic: Moving Saints, Selves, and Others, provides answers
  to these questions alongside the socially embedded—and spatially generati
 ve—encounters of ritual, mobility, desire, genealogy, and patronage al
 ong the route. The book and this talk develop the idea of visitation as a 
 traffic of pilgrims, goods, and ideas across Iran, Turkey, and Syria.A
