Rite out of Place: Ritual, Media, and the ArtsOxford University Press, 10. 8. 2006 - Počet stran: 216 Much ritual studies scholarship still focuses on central religious rites. For this reason, Grimes argues, dominant theories, like the data they consider, remain stubbornly conservative. This book issues a challenge to these theories and to popular conceptions of ritual. Rite Out of Place collects 10 revised essays originally published in widely varied sources across the past five years. Grimes has selected for inclusion those essays that track ritual as it haunts the edges of cultural boundaries-ritual converging with theater, ritual on television, ritual at the edge of natural environments and so on. The writing is non-technical, and the implied audience is sufficiently broad than any educated person interested in religion and public life should find it intelligible and engaging. |

Strana 79 - Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible, swift sword. His truth is marching on.
Strana 105 - All sacred things must have their place" ... It could even be said that being in their place is what makes them sacred for if they were taken out of their place, even in thought, the entire order of the universe would be destroyed. Sacred objects therefore contribute to the maintenance of order in the universe by occupying the places allocated to them.
Strana 136 - Ritual is a culturally constructed system of symbolic communication. It is constituted of patterned and ordered sequences of words and acts, often expressed in multiple media, whose content and arrangement are characterized in varying degree by formality (conventionality), stereotypy (rigidity), condensation (fusion), and redundancy (repetition).

Strana 141 - Logoi; the investment of whatever it encodes with morality; the construction of time and eternity; the representation of a paradigm of creation: the generation of the concept of the sacred and the sanctification of conventional order; the generation of theories of the occult; the evocation of numinous experience; the awareness of the divine; the grasp of the holy; and the construction of orders of meaning transcending the semantic (Rappaport, 1999: 27).
Strana 70 - The ideal view for daily writing, hour on hour, is the blank brick wall of a cold-storage warehouse. Failing this, a stretch of sky will do, cloudless if possible.
Strana 67 - audience reception" of this course content much more difficult than it was a quarter of a century ago. The social stream in which we all swim is not the stream that once was.
