UNDERSTANDING RITUAL AS RITUALISATION AND PRAXIS

M. P. Terence Samuel, Gargi Mukherjee

DOI : 10.9780/22307850, By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Ritual has been understood variedly by different scholars, according to the context of the ritual. Still a holistic approach towards understanding ritual theoretically is very much lacking, though scholars have studied and elaborated the individual rituals performed in different regions and places. But Catherine Bell, in her works on ritual, attempts to provide a theoretical understanding of ritual of all genres. She takes up different theoretical tools already available in the field of knowledge of different subjects and applies them to understand the nature of ritual theoretically.
