<p class="MsoNormal">Ritual Communication examines how people
create and express meaning through verbal and non-verbal ritual. 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. <br>
<br>
Despite being largely formulaic and repetitive, ritual communication is
a highly participative and self-oriented process. The ritual is shaped
by time, space and the individual body as well as by language
ideologies, local aesthetics, contexts of use, and relations among
participants. <br>
<br>
Ritual Communication draws on a wide range of contemporary cultures –
from Africa, America, Asia, and the Pacific – to present a rich and
diverse study for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology and
sociolinguistics. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 7pt;">"This
volume will stand as a benchmark work in the exploration of ritual
communication, a notoriously expansive notion that can include the
stereotypy of animal behavior, the routinization of social
interaction and the symbolic density of religious enactment.
The richness of the essays makes the volume a true delight to read, and
the analytical rigor that the authors bring to bear in their case
studies sheds clear light on the complex relations between discursive
form, social function, cultural meaning, and personal experience in
ritual semiosis." Professor Richard Bauman, Indiana University<o:p></o:p></span></p>
