讲座摘要:
In a time when beliefs seem harder to maintain than ever, ritual is making a comeback. Old practices and new ones are being taken up, and combined, in traditional and untraditional settings. Old rituals take on new meanings, while individuals and groups create new rituals to suit contemporary needs. But what power can rituals really have in the absence of belief? Mark Larrimore approaches this question through a comparison of the world of ritual with that of theater, the paradigmatic world of "make-believe." Looking beyond the origins of theater in religious rituals to enduring ritualistic features in even the most secular modern theater, Larrimore suggests that ritual may flourish especially in the absence of settled belief systems.
