Beschreibung:
The importance of secular ritual is discussed in this newly emerging field that covers a wide area of study. Shifting away from traditional concepts of ritual tied to religion, the authors confront the benefits of ritualised practice for general health and wellbeing.
The growing absence of meaningful ritual in contemporary Western societies has led to cohesive research on the history of ritualizing behaviour in different cultures. The relatively new field of ritology, which includes neuroscience, anthropology, cultural psychology, psychotherapy and even art and performance, raises questions about the significance and practice of ritual today. This book is the first of its kind to discuss the importance of secular rituals for cultural and personal growth. Using a transdisciplinary approach, a range of contributors provide an authoritative account of the science and history of rituals and their role in creating healthy societies in the modern age.
