Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Ethnologie / Volkskunde, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 1,9, Freie Universität Berlin (Fachbereich Ethnologie), Veranstaltung: Ritual und Ideologie, 5 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Früher verstand man diesen Begriff im Zusammenhang mit religiösen Handlungen. Riten und Rituale wurden fast ausschließliche als religiöse Phänomene betrachtet. Nach David J. Krieger und Andrea Bellinger1, war das Wort Ritual gewissermaßen ein Synonym für Gottesdienst, woran man erkannt, daß das Ritual vorwiegend ein Thema für Theologen und Religionswissenschaftler war. Neue Wissenschaften wie Ethnologie und Anthropologie, Soziologie und Psychologie führten dazu, daß man vor gut hundert Jahren anfing das Ritual eher als etwas allgemein Menschliches zu sehen, das in allen kulturellen Bereichen zu finden ist. Der Ritualbegriff wurde seither auf symbolische Handlungen allgemein angewandt. Doch auch in jüngerer Zeit hat sich in der Ritualforschung vieles verändert. Bis in die 60er Jahre des letzten Jahrhunderts hinein vermutete man hinter Ritualen psychologische und soziologische Motive, die heute in Frage gestellt werden. Die Bedeutung und Funktion des Rituals wurde außerhalb des Ritus an sich gesehen, sie musste aus ihm herausgelesen werden. Für Emile Dürkheim z.B. stand hinter dem Ritual 'das Bedürfnis soziale Solidarität zu schaffen, für Freud das Bedürfnis traumatische Ereignisse zu verdrängen, für Malinowski wiederum das Bedürfnis die natürliche Umwelt zu beeinflussen.'2

Ritual has long been a central concept in anthropological theories of religious transmission. Ritual, Performance and the Senses offers a new understanding of how ritual enables religious representations – ideas, beliefs, values – to be shared among participants. Focusing on the body and the experiential nature of ritual, the book brings together insights from three distinct areas of study: cognitive/neuroanthropology, performance studies and the anthropology of the senses. Eight chapters by scholars from each of these sub-disciplines investigate different aspects of embodied religious practice, ranging from philosophical discussions of belief to explorations of the biological processes taking place in the brain itself. Case studies range from miracles and visionary activity in Catholic Malta to meditative practices in theatrical performance and include three pilgrimage sites: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the festival of Ramlila in Ramnagar, India and the mountain shrine of the Lord of the Shiny Snow in Andean Peru. Understanding ritual allows us to understand processes at the very centre of human social life and humanity itself, making this an invaluable text for students and scholars in anthropology, cognitive science, performance studies and religious studies.

The field of performance studies embraces performance behaviour of all kinds and in all contexts, from everyday life to high ceremony. This volume investigates a wide range of performance behaviour - dance, ritual, conflict situation, sports, storytelling and display behaviour - in a variety of circumstances and cultures. It considers such issues as the relationship between training and the finished performance; whether performance behaviour is universal or culturally specific; and the relationships between ritual aesthetics, popular entertainment and religion, and sports and theatre and dance. The volume brings together essays from leading anthropologists, artists and performance theorists to provide a definitive introduction to the burgeoning field of performance studies. It will be of value to scholars, teachers and students of anthropology, theatre, folklore, semiotics and performance studies.

This volume focuses on the ways discourse is used in ritual performances as an important medium of power, enabling speakers/actors to construct, redefine and transform interpersonal relationships, cultural concepts and worldviews. The various case studies gathered here, from South Asia, South East Asia, Africa and South America, show that recent developments in linguistic anthropology, ritual theory and performance studies provide new conceptual tools to take a fresh look at these issues. Foregrounding pragmatic approaches to language and discourse, they explore the social dynamics of rhetorical discourse, text and context, normativity and creativity, the poetics of dialogue and speech, as well as the manifold interactions of speakers, addressees and audience. The volume thus embraces both the micro-level of speech activities as well as the macro-level of social and political relationships and brings out the subtle workings of control, authority, and power in situations marked as ritual. The contributions, all based on extensive fieldwork, include many concrete samples of speech and discourse which give an authentic impression of the different voices and make for vivid reading.

Ritual is part of what it means to be human. Like sports, music, and drama, ritual defines and enriches culture, putting those who practice it in touch with sources of value and meaning larger than themselves. Ritual is unavoidable, yet it holds a place in modern life that is decidedly ambiguous. What is ritual? What does it do? Is it useful? What are the various kinds of ritual? Is ritual tradition bound and conservative or innovative and transformational? Alongside description of a number of specific rites, this Very Short Introduction explores ritual from both theoretical and historical perspectives. Barry Stephenson focuses on the places where ritual touches everyday life: in politics and power; moments of transformation in the life cycle; as performance and embodiment. He also discusses the boundaries of ritual, and how and why certain behaviors have been studied as ritual while others have not. Stephenson shows how ritual is an important vehicle for group and identity formation; how it generates and transmits beliefs and values; how it can be used to exploit and oppress; and how it has served as a touchstone for thinking about cultural origins and historical change. Encompassing the breadth and depth of modern ritual studies, Barry Stephenson's Very Short Introduction also develops a narrative of ritual's place in social and cultural life.
