Description

Ritual Communication explores how people create and express meaning through verbal and non-verbal rituals in everyday interactions and cultural practices. Ritual communication is not limited to collective religious expression, but encompasses various forms such as ceremonies, theatrical performances, and rites of passage. This book draws on a diverse range of contemporary cultures from around the world, including Africa, America, Asia, and the Pacific, to present a rich study of ritual communication. The authors examine how rituals are shaped by time, space, individual bodies, language ideologies, local aesthetics, contexts of use, and relations among participants. Through its examination of ritual communication, this book offers insights into the complex ways in which people create and negotiate meaning in their social interactions.
