Description
The Politics of Ritual by Molly Farneth is a thought-provoking exploration of the transformative role that rituals play in our political lives. In this insightful book, Farneth argues that rituals are dynamic social practices that shape and transform individuals and societies. Rituals, far from being mere scripts or mechanical routines, are complex activities bound up in processes of continuity and change. Farneth examines a range of rituals enacted to promote democratic engagement, including border Eucharists, candlelight vigils, and rituals of mourning. By adapting their rituals, people can redraw the boundaries of their communities, reallocate power and resources, and cultivate habits of citizenship. This timely book makes a compelling case for an innovative democratic ritual life that can help create more just, inclusive, and participatory communities.
