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. Mitchell is Reader in Social Anthropology at the University of Sussex, UK. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
