Description
Ritual and Democracy Protests, Publics and Performances by Sarah M. Pike, Jone Salomonsen, Paul-François Tremlett is an edited volume that explores the complex intersections of ritual and democracy in various contemporary contexts. This collection of seven research-led chapters documents the entanglements of the religious and secular in political assembly and iconoclastic protest, as well as the role of affect and belonging in pilgrimage and church ritual. The authors examine how performances of self and culture intersect with politics and identity, revealing a conception of ritual that is more improvisational than prescriptive. Through its diverse case studies, this volume offers a nuanced understanding of ritual as a catalyst for change, rather than a stabilizing force.
