This book takes the concept of repetition beyond older
anthropological debates over habit, structure, or cultural
continuity and demonstrates its value in attempts to comprehend the
temporal, spatial and ideological fields in which contemporary
social scientists must operate. Repetition has an ambiguous value
in human societies. It may contribute to desired social and
cultural reproduction or, equally, represent experiences of being
trapped in cycles of routine and stasis. In this book, six
anthropologists demonstrate the capacity of repetition to open up
fertile areas of comparative ethnographic and historical work.
Focusing on religious case-studies drawn from around the world,
contributors ask when and how repetition is observed by
interlocutors or fieldworkers. In the process, they explore the
ethical, political and experiential dimensions of repetition as it
operates at numerous scales of activity, ranging from intimate
ritual, to forms of religious dissent, to haunting forms of
historical recurrence. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of History and Anthropology.
