We have been led to believe that rituals are well-behaved and
predictable, but they sometimes behave in unpredictable ways,
especially when they emerge in unexpected places. However much
rites may seem to be at home in churches, temples, mosques, and
synagogues, they are not captives of sacred spaces. Rituals appear
on television, stare back at the lens in family photographs, slip
into university classrooms, haunt the wilds, and attend movies.
Rite Out of Place makes provocative discoveries by scouting out
some of the unexpected places where ritualizing takes root. Most
ritual studies scholarship still focuses on central religious
rites. For this reason, Grimes argues, dominant theories, like the
data they consider, remain stubbornly conservative. This book
issues a challenge to these theories and to popular conceptions of
ritual. Grimes writes in an accessible, engaging style, using a
broad, interdisciplinary approach. This collection of seminal
essays by one of the founders of the discipline appeals to anyone
interested in the intersection of ritual and public life.
