Recasting Ritual explores how ritualized action diversifies in
response to varying cultural, political and physical contexts. The
contributors look at how issues such as globalisation and
technology affect ritual performance and how minorities often
utilise performances to affirm their own identites while also
speaking to outsiders.
The contributors examine the relationship between ritual meaning
and social identity through case-studies drawn from the Pacific,
Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, Latin America, Indonesia, and East
and West Africa. Study of the theoretical underpinnings of social
action affirms the independence of anthropology as a discipline
from cultural, media and performance studies, according it a
distinctive role in elucidating contemporary and emergent human
conditions.
