Abstract:
Drawing on extensive fieldwork, this book investigates aesthetic, symbolic, metaphorical, literary, mathematical, and philosophical meanings of the kōlam, the popular Tamil women’s daily ephemeral practice, a ritual art tradition performed with rice flour on the thresholds of houses in southern India. They range from concepts such as auspiciousness, inauspiciousness, ritual purity, and ritual pollution. Several divinities, too, play a significant role: Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, good luck, well-being, and a quickening energy; Mūdevi, the goddess of poverty, bad luck, illness, and laziness

Why do people participate in controversial symbolic events that drive wedges between groups and occasionally spark violence?

As a result, parades have been a major source of conflict in the years since the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. This b

Abstract:
Drawing insights from gender studies and the environmental humanities, Demonic Bodies analyzes how ancient Christians constructed the Christian body through its relations to demonic adversaries. Case studies on New Testament texts, early Christian church fathers, and “Gnostic” writings trace how early followers of Jesus construed the demonic body in diverse and sometimes contradictory ways, as both embodied and bodiless, “fattened” and ethereal, heavenly and earthbound. Across this diversity of portrayals, however, demons consistently functioned as personifications of “deviant” bodily practice

This chapter explores differences between rhetorics of sacrifice in inscriptional evidence in Ephesos and in imperial depictions. Different rhetorics around configurations of sacrificial personnel reveal a contestation around enslaved leadership in ritual practices. As imperial presence strengthened in Ephesos in the second century CE, the rhetoric of imperial authority attempted to contain the social tensions that come with enslaved leadership. Drawing on rhetorical analysis of the Parthian Reliefs and the prevalence of enslaved personnel in the Artemis cult, this chapter argues that the work

Abstract Occasional religious practice is a way of relating to religion that is characterized by participation in religious practices occasionally rather than routinely, most often in connection with certain types of occasions, including holidays, life transitions, and times of crisis.

This chapter discusses two philosophical approaches to understanding the dynamics and work of private apologies: either as performative speech acts or as remedial exchanges. Drawing on the writings of J. L.

It then explores how these theories from the 1950s and 1960s

It is shown that death may be a drawn-out process, wherein several death rituals precede the final one. Grave monuments have more purposes than simply salutation of the dead. The Catholic communities show a form of funerary behaviors, from gathering at wakes to the performative displays of professional mourners. The spread of cremation is the most notable modern change. Conceptions of death and the etiquette of remembrance meet in ceremonies linked with corpse disposal.
