Table of ContentsReviewsThe authors take us on an exhilarating and illuminating journey, combining insights from neuroscience, embodiment theory, performance studies, place and space concepts, and the idea of the extended sensorium, gathering everything into a holistic account of bodily engagement with ritual and experience. The result is a stunning set of contributions to the anthropological theory of ritual. -- Andrew J. Strathern and Pamela J. Stewart (Strathern), Cromie Burn Research Unit, University of Pittsburgh, USA The study of religious ritual continues its wide turn toward the body in Bull and Mitchell's edited volume, which reminds us that knowledge is know-how, rooted firmly within the body, and only secondarily in the brain. The authors are not offering some reheated neo-empiricism, but rather point toward another kind of knowledge altogether, another way of performing, another way of being religious. -- S. Brent Plate, Hamilton College, USA Author InformationMichael Bull is Professor of Sound Studies at the University of Sussex, UK.Jon P.
