This volume consists of a number of carefully-selected readings
that represent a wide range of discussions and theorizing about
ritual. The selection encompasses definitional questions, issues of
interpretation, meaning, and function, and a roster of ethnographic
and analytical topics, covering classic themes such as ancestor
worship and sacrifice, initiation, gender, healing, social change,
and shamanic practices, as well as recent critical and
reconstructive theorizing on embodiment, performance, and
performativity. In their Introduction to the volume, the Editors
provide an overall survey and critical consideration of topics,
incorporating insights from their own long-term field research and
reflections on the readings included. The Introduction and readings
together provide a unique research tool for those interested in
pursuing the study of ritual processes in depth, with the benefit
of both historical and contemporary approaches.
