Reinvented rituals as medicine in contemporary Indigenous films: Maligluitt, Mahana, and Goldstone, Ken Derry"This book is the result of collaborations between international researchers who have focused on diverse processes of democratic participation-and exclusion-that are intimately involved with ritual acts and complexes. The main question integrating the collection concerns the ways in which the performative qualities of ritual resources achieve their potential as forms of personal and political empowerment in our changing world. The authors seek to define the key terms "ritual" and "democracy" with reference to fieldwork-informed case studies from selected communities. They critically address democracy as a concept in a time of climate crisis, nationalism, religious re-traditionalizing, fake news and aspirational fascism. Furthermore, they discuss ways in which ritualized practices such as memorial gatherings, festivals, protest actions, pilgrimages and worship services give rise to modes of feeling, processes of representation, and patterns of interaction in which democratic explorations are given pride of place."--Provided by publisher.RitualSocial aspectsRites and ceremoniesSocial aspectsDemocracyReligious aspectsDemocracyCase studiesRitualSocial aspects.Rites and ceremoniesSocial aspects.DemocracyReligious aspects.Democracy302.12Harvey GrahamHouseman MichaelPike Sarah M.Salomonsen JoneYDXCaBNVSLUkLoBPBOOK9910420942603321Reassembling democracy2281035UNINA
