Victor Turner altered the way ritual is viewed, by emphasizing its
role as an agent of social change rather than an agent for
conserving the status quo. This book reconsiders and clarifies
Turner's theory of ritual in response to its frequent
misinterpretation and then demonstrates its usefulness for
interpreting such phenomena as ritual possession in a politically
militant African-American Pentecostal congregation and the
countercultural theatrical experiments of Jerzy Grotowski's Polish
Laboratory Theater.
