Staging Ritual Heritage: How Rituals Become Theatre in Uttarakhand, India
Being associated with Islamic ritual practices, purity is a notion Muslims are usually quite familiar with. This holds true even for those Muslims whose interest in religion is rather limited as purity is a part of their cultural heritage. In this essay, I first outline the central aspects of ritual purity in Islam and its related issues. In the second part, focussing on the situation in Germany, I shall be looking at some modern sources that are…

This collection of essays emerged from a two-year project based on collaboration between the Faculty of Religious Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands and the Ritual Dynamics Collaborative Research Center at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. An interdisciplinary team of twenty-four scholars locates, describes, and explores cases in which media-driven rituals or ritually saturated media instigate, disseminate, or escala…

Tragic Heroes
Mighty men of heroic stature lie behind the Christian tradition, as any inspection of our great cathedrals will demonstrate. Patriarchs, Moses, judges, kings, and prophets pair evangelists, apostles, martyrs, missionaries, rulers. Not all of them suffer or die violently, but their merit is generally weighed in terms of sacrifice, of self-transcendence, of submission to the divine will. The iconography and the sculptures commemorate these figures,…
