Historically, canonic studies of ritual have discussed and
explained ritual organization, action, and transformation primarily
as representations of broader cultural and social orders. In the
present, as in the past, less attention is given to the power of
ritual to organize and effect transformation through its own
dynamics. Breaking with convention, the contributors to this volume
were asked to discuss ritual first and foremost in relation to
itself, in its own right, and only then in relation to its
socio-cultural context. The results attest to the variable
capacities of rites to effect transformation through themselves,
and to the study of phenomena in their own right as a fertile
approach to comprehending ritual dynamics.
