The chapters show how ritual communication involves witnessing a future through the making of cultural knowledge. They show ritual communication to be a highly "self-oriented" multimodal process in which the human body, temporalization, and spatialized settings play crucial roles. Ritual communication encompasses both verbal and sensory attributes. It is in part dependent upon prior formulaic and repeated action, and is thus anticipated within particular contexts of social interaction. It is performed and therefore subject to evaluation by its participants according to standards defined by language ideologies, local aesthetics, contexts of use, and interpersonal relations. The authors here emphasize the variety of participatory and experiential aspects of ritual communication in contemporary African, Native American, Asian, and Pacific cultures. Among the forms covered are ritual constraints on everyday interaction, gossip, private and public encounters, political meetings and public demonstrations, rites of passage, theatrical performances, magical formulae, shamanic chants, affinal civilities, and leaders' ceremonial discourse. The book is ideal for students and scholars in anthropology and linguistic anthropology in particular."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aWenner-Gren international symposium series. 606 $aCommunication and culture 606 $aLanguage and culture 606 $aRites and ceremonies 615 0$aCommunication and culture. 615 0$aLanguage and culture. 615 0$aRites and ceremonies. 676 $a302.2 702 $aSenft$b Gunter$f1952- 702 $aBasso$b Ellen B.$f1942- 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825770703321 996 $aRitual communication$94023195 997 $aUNINA
