Summary/Abstract: The time has come to move beyond the overly abrupt “End of the Eliadean Era” judgments that came after Mircea Eliade’s rather ignominious death. However there have been important recent signs of some renewed interest in the Eliadean perspective on religion and culture. This special issue contributes to these developments by assembling a group of articles that “remember,”, “reimagine,” and “revalorize” the Eliadean corpus.
