Paperback. Condizione: New. Rituals transform citizens into presidents and princesses into queens. They transform sick persons into healthy ones, and public space into prohibited sanctuary. Shamanic rituals heal, legal rituals bind, political rituals ratify, and religious rituals sanctify. But how exactly do they accomplish thes…e things? How do rituals work? This is the question of ritual efficacy, and although it is one of the very first questions that people everywhere ask of rituals, surprisingly little has been written on the topic. In fact, this collection of 10 contributed essays is the first to explicitly address the question of ritual efficacy. The authors do not aspire to answer the question 'how do rituals work?' in a simplistic fashion, but rather to show how complex the question is. While some contributors do indeed advance a particular theory of ritual efficacy, others ask whether the question makes any sense at all, and most show how complex it is by referring to the sociocultural environment in which it is posed, since the answer depends on who is asking the question, and what criteria they use to evaluate the efficacy of ritual. In his introduction, William Sax emphasizes that the very notion of ritual efficacy is a suspicious one because, according to a widespread 'modern' and 'scientific' viewpoint, rituals are merely expressive, and therefore cannot be efficacious. Rituals are thought of as superficial, 'merely symbolic,' and certainly not effective. Nevertheless many people insist that rituals 'work,' and the various positions taken on the question tell us a great deal about the social and historical background of the people involved. One essay, for example, illuminates a dispute between 'materialist' and 'enlightenment' Catholics in Ecuador, with the former affirming the notion of ritual efficacy and the latter doubting it. In other essays, contributors address instances in which orthodox religious figures (mullahs, church authorities, and even scientific positivists) discount the efficacy of rituals. In several of the essays, 'modern' people are suspicious of rituals and tend to deny their efficacy, confirming the theme highlighted in Sax's introduction.

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton… mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. English language edition. Issued in a slip case. 2 volumes (614 pages) : illustrations (chiefly colour), maps ; 31 cm. Summary:"[Forms of Wonderment: the History and Collections of the Afrika Museum, Berg en Dal] describes how the Afrika Museum in Berg en…Dal (near Nijmegen in the Netherlands) has developed over the years. It provides the first-ever overview of the museum's rich collections. In the half-century since the museum was founded, there has been a profound shift in Western attitudes to African and other world cultures. This is also true of the artefacts and works of art produced by these cultures. The title refers not only to the objects that are the main subject of this book, but also to t he various forms of wonderment of which they are both the cause and the effect. Many of the African forms shown here reflect man's wonderment at the circumstances and mysteries of his existence, and focus our attention on crucial moments and relationships in human life. Ever since the early twentieth century, these same forms have been a source of wonderment to artists, missionaries, art historians, anthropologists and art-lovers in the West--wonderment which often merges into admiration. The purpose of [these books] is to increase that admiration by familiarising readers with the artists' idioms and explaining the purposes and meanings of the objects they made." --back cover(s).
