Dieser Band vereint die bedeutendsten Ansatze zur
Ritualforschung und macht die wichtigsten Beitrage aus dem
Forschungsgebiet "Ritual Studies" zum ersten Mal in deutscher
Sprache und in einem Band zuganglich. Uber zwanzig Artikel werden
in zwei Kategorien aufgeteilt: "Allgemeine Ritualtheorien" und
"Konkrete Studien zum Ritual in Kultur und Gesellschaft." Im
allgemeinen Teil finden sich neben Klassikern der Ritualforschung
wie Clifford Geertz, Victor Turner, Mary Douglas und Erving Goffman
auch neuere Autoren wie z.B. der amerikanische Soziologe Albert
Bergesen mit seiner Theorie der "Rituellen Ordnung" (ein
Originalbeitrag zu diesem Band), Catherine Bell mit der
epistemologischen Theorie der "Ritualkonstruktion," Caroline
Humphrey und James Laidlaw mit der Theorie der "Rituellen
Einstellung" und die umfassende Analyse des Rituals von Jan
Platvoet. Im zweiten Teil finden sich Artikel uber rituelles
Handeln in verschiedenen Bereichen von Kultur und Gesellschaft
sowie Politik, Psychotherapie, Kunst, Sport, Medien, Literatur,
Theater, Recht und Feminismus. Die Herausgeber stellen den Artikeln
eine umfassende Einfuhrung in das Gebiet der Ritualforschung voran.
Das Buch ist als Handbuch der Ritualforschung fur Fachleute und als
Basistext fur alle, die das Phanomen des Rituals in Religion,
Kultur und Gesellschaft naher kennenlernen wollen, konzipiert."

The information age has brought about a growing conflict between
proponents of a data-driven society on the one side and demands for
protection of individual freedom, autonomy, and dignity by means of
privacy on the other. The causes of this conflict are rooted in the
modern Western opposition of individual and society and a
self-understanding of the human as an autonomous rational subject
with an inalienable right to informational self-determination.
Andrea Belliger and David J. Krieger propose a theory of
information as a common good and redefine the individual as an
informational self who exists in networks made up of both humans
and nonhumans. Privacy is replaced by publicy and issues of data
use and data protection are described in terms of governance
instead of government.
After postmodern critique has deconstructed, decentered, and
displaced order and identity on all levels, we are faced with the
Humpty Dumpty question of how to put the pieces back together
again. This book brings together the seldom associated discourses
of hermeneutics, actor-network theory, and new media in order to
formulate a theory of a global network society. Hermeneutics
re-opens the question of unity in a fragmented world. Actor-network
theory reinterprets the construction of meaning as networking. New
media studies show how networking is done. Networks arise, are
maintained, and are transformed by communicative actions that are
governed by network norms that make up a social operating system.
The social operating system offers an alternative to the
imperatives of algorithmic logic, functionality, and systemic
closure that dominate present day solutions to problems of
over-complexity in all areas. The world of meaning constructed by
the social operating system is a mixed reality in which filters and
layers replace the physical restraints of space and time as
parameters of knowing and acting. Society and nature, humans and
non-humans come together in a socio-sphere consisting of hybrid,
heterogeneous actor-networks. This book proposes reinterpreting
hermeneutics as networking and networking as guided by a social
operating system whose norms are based on new media. There emerges
a theory for a global network society described by different
concepts than those typical of Western modernity.
What are organizations? Where do they come from? How are they
transformed and adapted to new situations? In the digital age and
in the global network society, traditional theories of the
organization can no longer answer these questions. Based on
actor-network theory, this book explains organizations as flexible,
open networks in which both human and non-human actors enter into
socio-technical assemblies by constantly negotiating and
re-negotiating programs of action. Organizations are not macro
social structures or autonomous systems operating behind the backs
of individuals. Instead, they are scalable actor-networks guided by
network norms of connectivity, flow, communication, participation,
authenticity, and flexibility.
