This open access book is the result of collaborations between
international researchers who have focused on diverse processes of
democratic participation-and exclusion-that are intimately involved
with ritual acts and complexes. The main question integrating the
collection concerns the ways in which the performative qualities of
ritual resources achieve their potential as forms of personal and
political empowerment in our changing world. The authors seek to
define the key terms "ritual" and "democracy" with reference to
fieldwork-informed case studies from selected communities. They
critically address democracy as a concept in a time of climate
crisis, nationalism, religious re-traditionalizing, fake news and
aspirational fascism. Furthermore, they discuss ways in which
ritualized practices such as memorial gatherings, festivals,
protest actions, pilgrimages and worship services give rise to
modes of feeling, processes of representation, and patterns of
interaction in which democratic explorations are given pride of
place. The eBook editions of this book are available open access
under a CC BY-NC-ND license on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Open
access was funded by Knowledge Unlatched.
