This wide-ranging and accessible book offers a stimulating
introduction to the field of media anthropology and the study of
religious ritual. Johanna Sumiala explores the interweaving of
rituals, communication and community. She uses the tools of
anthropological enquiry to examine a variety of media events,
including the death of Michael Jackson, a royal wedding and the
transgressive actions which took place in Abu Ghraib, and to
understand the inner significance of the media coverage of such
events. The book deals with theories of ritual, media as ritual
including reception, production and representation, and rituals of
death in the media. It will be invaluable to students and scholars
alike across media, religion and anthropology.
