Feeling that theory has been neglected within the field of ritual studies, Kreinath (sociocultural anthropology, Wichita State U., US), Snoek (sciences of religion, U. of Heidelberg, Germany), and Stausberg (history of religions, U. of Bergen, Norway) present an anthology of 35 thematic chapters that survey both theories and approaches to theorizing in the field of ritual studies. After addressing methodological and metatheoretical issues, papers examine such classical topics myth and ritual, ritual and psyche, and ritual and meaning; theoretical approaches to action, aesthetics, cognition, communication, ethnology, gender, performance, praxis, relationality, and semiotics; and the paradigmatic concepts of agency, complexity, deference, dynamics, efficacy, embodiment, emotion, framing, language, media, participation, reflexivity, rhetorics, transmission, and virtuality.
