"Ritual Communication" examines how people create and express
meaning through verbal and non-verbal ritual. Ritual communication
extends beyond collective religious expression. It is an intrinsic
part of everyday interactions, ceremonies, theatrical performances,
shamanic chants, political demonstrations and rites of passage.
Despite being largely formulaic and repetitive, ritual
communication is a highly participative and self-oriented process.
The ritual is shaped by time, space and the individual body as well
as by language ideologies, local aesthetics, contexts of use, and
relations among participants.
"Ritual Communication" draws on a wide range of contemporary
cultures - from Africa, America, Asia, and the Pacific - to present
a rich and diverse study for students and scholars of anthropology,
sociology and sociolinguistics.
