Abstract

"This volume presents a new approach to "ritual communication" by an international group of scholars from a multidisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, rich with empirical data and path breaking for future theorizing on the topic. The chapters show how ritual communication involves witnessing a future through the making of cultural knowledge. They show ritual communication to be a highly "self-oriented" multimodal process in which the human body, temporalization, and spatialized settings play crucial roles. Ritual communication encompasses both verbal and sensory attributes. It is in part dependent upon prior formulaic and repeated action, and is thus anticipated within particular contexts of social interaction. It is performed and therefore subject to evaluation by its participants according to standards defined by language ideologies, local aesthetics, contexts of use, and interpersonal relations. The authors here emphasize the variety of participatory and experiential aspects of ritual communication in contemporary African, Native American, Asian, and Pacific cultures. Among the forms covered are ritual constraints on everyday interaction, gossip, private and public encounters, political meetings and public demonstrations, rites of passage, theatrical performances, magical formulae, shamanic chants, affinal civilities, and leaders' ceremonial discourse. The book is ideal for students and scholars in anthropology and linguistic anthropology in particular"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Two Greek cities which in their time were leading states in the Mediterranean world, Selinus in Sicily and Cyrene in Libya, set up inscriptions of the kind called sacred laws, but regulating worship on a larger scale than elsewhere - Selinus in the mid fifth century B.C., Cyrene in the late fourth. In different ways, the content and the format of both inscriptions are so unusual that they have baffled understanding. At Selinus, a large lead tablet with two columns of writing upside down to each other is thought to be a remedy for homicide pollution arising from civil strife, but most of it rem

Abstract

Qui se propose d’accompagner l’histoire religieuse des peuples de l’Italie centro-méridionale au temps de la Deuxième Guerre Punique doit s’affranchir de préjugés encore trop répandus, tels celui qui minore les cultes italiques et les mesure à l’aune du culte romain ou celui qui prête à ces décennies troublées une religion en « crise ». Rassemblant et croisant des données jusque-là traitées séparément, cette étude présente une vaste fresque des pratiques rituelles romaines et italiques, à un moment où bouleversements politiques et militaires rendent plus que jamais nécessaire le rempart d’une religion immuable. L’exaspération rituelle n’interdit cependant pas quelques innovations contrôlées, fruits d’une hellénisation maîtrisée, telles la monumentalisation des sanctuaires ou la théâtralisation des pratiques. L’identité religieuse de ces communautés est à chercher surtout dans le jeu contrasté de l’acculturation et de la résistance, dans l’entrelacs subtil de la romanisation et de l’italicisation. D’un peuple à l’autre se fait ainsi entendre un thème reconnaissable, fait pourtant d’infinies variations rituelles.
