Ritual Textuality: Pattern and Motion in Performance

by Tomlinson, Matt
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780199341146

How do rituals achieve their effects? Matt Tomlinson approaches this classic question from a new angle, arguing that participants condition their own expectations of ritual success by interactively creating distinct textual patterns. He presents vivid examples from Fiji, ranging from a Pentecostal 'crusade' to missionary reports of 'happy deaths.'
