AAPTIS - 425.001
Ritual and Community
| Primary Instructor: Babayan, Kathryn | Instructor: Ginsburg, Elliot K | Hours: 3 |
| Level: Undergraduate | Language: None |
The seminar will focus on methodological approaches to the study of ritual drawn from anthropology, sociology, psychology, and the history of religions. Throughout the seminar, we will study the ways in which ritual serves as a launching pad to discuss core issues of identity/belonging, the boundaries of community and nation, issues of authority, sacred and profane, stasis and crisis, orality and literacy, memory and forgetting, the encounter with the other (imagined or real, human or divine), as well as key issues of gender, embodiment, and textuality.
