Negotiating Rites - Oxford Ritual Studies Series
Husken, Ute (Professor of Sanskrit, Professor of Sanskrit, University of Oslo)
Ritual has been long viewed as an undisputed and indisputable part of (especially religious) tradition, performed over and over in the same ways: stable in form, meaningless, preconcieved, and with the aim of creating harmony and enabling a tradition's survival. The authors represented in this collection argue, however, that this view can be seriously challenged and that ritual's embeddedness in negotiation processes is one of its central features.
