Sommario/riassunto

Ritual communication extends beyond collective religious expression. It is an intrinsic part of everyday interactions, ceremonies, theatrical



performances, shamanic chants, political demonstrations and rites of passage. This title examines how people create and express meaning through verbal and non-verbal ritual.
