This article focuses on the way sacredness continues to be engineered in today’s Shanghai, mapping the religious landscape through the exploration of four dimensions – namely, ‘landmarks’, ‘compounds’, ‘privacy’, and ‘waterways’. The article assesses the role played by churches, temples, and mosques, by home and working spaces, by waterways and virtual networks, in the shaping of an urban sacred space satisfying a variety of needs and traditions while being symbolically organized into a consistent territory. In the context of a religiously vibrant global city, locating ‘sacredness’ means understanding it as a process of ceaseless dislocation and relocation. Keywords Chinese religions, city mapping, imagined geography, religious globalization, sacredness, urban rituals Résumé Shanghai est une métropole qui se considère tout à la fois comme le berceau de la « modernité » chinoise, le lieu de naissance du mouvement révolutionnaire et une plaque tournante de la diversité culturelle et religieuse – une identité multiple qui s’inscrit dans un certain nombre de « lieux sacrés ».

    EXTERNAL (for general distribution) AI Index: ASA 17/65/90 Distr: UA/SC 2 November 1990 Further Information on UA 70/90 (ASA 17/07/90, 16 February) - Fear of Torture (new concern)/Fear of Execution PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (PRC) (Tibet Autonomous Region): Lobsang Tenzin There have been persistent reports that Lobsang Tenzin, a Tibetan prisoner sentenced to death in 1989 with a two-year stay of execution, is held with his feet permanently shackled in Drapchi, one of the main prisons of Lhasa, the capital of the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR). His health is said to be poor. It is not known whether Lobsang Tenzin's family has been permitted to visit him and he is not believed to have been given access to a lawyer or an independent medical practitioner. Amnesty International is concerned that Lobsang Tenzin may be suffering ill-treatment in detention. Amnesty International is also concerned that Lobsang Tenzin's death sentence might be carried out in the next few months. A decision on whether or not to commute his death sentence should, according to Chinese law, be made before the expiry of the stay of execution on or shortly before 19 January 1991. To Amnesty International's knowledge, no decision to commute his death sentence has yet been announced. Amnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases as the ultimate form of torture and as a violation of the right to life. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Lobsang Tenzin, now about 25, a former student at the TAR University, was reportedly arrested with three other men on 16 April 1988.
