In religious studies, theory and method research has long been
embroiled in a polarized debate over scientific versus theological
perspectives. Ronald L. Grimes shows that this debate has
stagnated, due in part to a manner of theorizing too far removed
from the study of actual religious practices. A worthwhile theory,
according to Grimes, must be practice-oriented, and practices are
most effectively studied by field research methods. The Craft of
Ritual Studies melds together a systematic theory and method
capable of underwriting the cross-cultural, interdisciplinary study
of ritual enactments. Grimes first exposes the limitations that
disable many theories of ritual-for example, defining ritual as
essentially religious, assuming that ritual's only function is to
generate group solidarity, or treating ritual as a mirror of the
status quo. He proposes strategies and offers guidelines for
conducting field research on the public performance of rites,
providing a guide for fieldwork on complex ritual enactments,
particularly those characterized by social conflict or cultural
creativity. The volume also provides a section on case study,
focusing on a single complex event: the Santa Fe Fiesta, a New
Mexico celebration marked by protracted ethnic conflict and ongoing
dramatic creativity. Grimes explains how rites interact creatively
and critically with their social surroundings, developing such
themes as the relation of ritual to media, theater, and film, the
dynamics of ritual creativity, the negotiation of ritual criticism,
and the impact of ritual on cultural and physical environments.
This important and influential book will be the capstone work of
Grimes's three decades of leadership in the field of ritual
studies. It is accompanied by twenty online appendices illustrating
key aspects of ritual study.
Although conflict is a normal aspect of human life, mass media
technologies are changing the dynamics of conflict and shaping
strategies for deploying rituals. Rituals can provoke or escalate
conflict; they can also mediate it. Media representations have long
been instrumental in establishing, maintaining, and challenging
political and economic power, as well as in determining the nature
of religious practice. This collection of essays emerged from a
two-year project based on collaboration between the Faculty of
Religious Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands
and the Ritual Dynamics Collaborative Research Center at the
University of Heidelberg in Germany. Here, an interdisciplinary
team of twenty-four scholars locates, describes, and explores cases
in which media-driven rituals or ritually saturated media
instigate, disseminate, or escalate conflict. Each chapter, built
around global and local examples of ritualized, mediatized
conflict, is multi-authored. The book's central question is: "When
ritual and media interact (either by the mediatizing of ritual or
by the ritualizing of media), how do the patterns of conflict
change?"
James Foley directs this final instalment of the trilogy based on the
novel by E.L. James with Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson reprising
their roles as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Believing they have
escaped the dark secrets of their past, newlyweds Christian and Ana
have their honeymoon cut short when Ana's former boss Jack Hyde (Eric
Johnson) kidnaps Christian's sister Mia (Rita Ora), holds her hostage,
and demands a ransom for her release.
With time running out, a pregnant Ana must do all she can to get Mia
back as Christian struggles to come to terms with the prospect of
fatherhood.
