Desire, Individual and Society Sequence Analysis of Trapped in the room scene in In the Mood for Love
By the early 1990s, Hong Kong had become the third wealthiest Asian territory. As the worlds freest market, Hong Kong experienced the realities of early and late capitalism simultaneously at that time. The anxiety of the individuals were raised in that unstable society, Hong Kong cinema reflects the crisis of Hong Kong itself from 1990s to the 2000s. This paper aims to explore the interactive relations between individual desire and a Chinese-Brit…
Death relics and reflections: Engaging palliative staff to respond creatively to death experiences in hospice settings
We Die As We Live, is an art in health research project that positions palliative care staff, working in a myriad of capacities in hospital and hospice settings, as ‘Death Elders’ because of their expert knowledge and accumulated experience of death and dying. This paper speculates on the commemorative dimensions of death, dying and bereavement as embodied in socially-engaged artistic processes. The weekly art workshops I organised, during my yea…
Integrating medical specialties and outpatient appointments - A novel pathway for multimorbid patients encountering several outpatient clinics
Introduction Multimorbidity has attracted growing interest over the recent years because it poses a major challenge to health care. It is prevalent in at least every fourth adult person and the rate is rapidly rising with increasing age. The everyday-life of multimorbid patients is often influenced by difficulties in managing their conditions, complex drug regimes and attending multiple appointments in a fragmented health system. A huge amount of…
Ritual
Funerary Artefacts, Cemetery Souvenirs and Final Resting Places
This photo essay discusses artworks that explore the commemorative dimensions of death through socially-engaged artistic processes, and the use of Oasis® floral foam—an ephemeral material that is integral to making flower arrangements that venerate the cycles of life and the celebratory milestones between birth and death. It examines the material’s uncanny corporeal associations when it is formed into vessels, and the ways in which the foam may b…

Lois autochtones, loi sur la propriété intellectuelle et politiques muséales: Des diverses méthodes de protection du patrimoine immatériel autochtone
La question des relations respectueuses et, dans le cadre de ces relations, la question de la conciliation des lois et des valeurs relatives à l'usage et au contrôle du patrimoine immatériel autochtone, sont soulevées dans de nombreux contextes muséaux, entre autres en ce qui concerne : le rapatriement des objets de culture matérielle et des informations associées ; la cogestion des informations et des expressions culturelles qui étaient (ou ont …
R v. Daniels: Issues of Jurisdiction, Identity, and Practical Utility
In April 2013, the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) confirmed in Daniels 1 that Mtis and non-status Indians are included in federal constitutional jurisdiction for "Indians and lands reserved for Indians" under s. 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867. 2 The decision is a victory for non-status Indians and Mtis people, because the federal government can no longer use "lack of jurisdiction" alone to deny them access to federal programs and services av…
Control of information originating from Aboriginal communities: Legal and ethical contexts
Access to and control over data and products of research originating from, or about, Aboriginal peoples in Canada arises in multiple legal, ethical, and political contexts. This article addresses three areas frequently implicated in Canada: intellectual property, access to information, and tribunal law and policy. A review of each area demonstrates that effective responses to concerns of Aboriginal peoples in Canada require examination of a wide …

Health Care Decision‐Making ‐ A Focus Group Study Involving Health Professionals and the General Public
Faced with an ageing population and newspaper warnings that escalating costs are leading to a health crisis, debate has intensified in Australia and elsewhere on the allocation of limited health resources. But whose values should inform decision‐making in the health area, and should the influence of different groups vary with the level of decision‐making? These questions were put to 54 members of the public and health professionals in eight focus…
Extracting the Paradigm—Ouch
Masuzawa's study unearths the founding genealogy of the study of religion, most pointedly the ubiquitous 'world religions' paradigm that shaped the study and teaching of religion well into our era. She reveals more self-conscious European agendas than those familiar from post-colonial research. The paradigms that effectively constructed the field of religious studies have now locked it into costly and contentious projects of divestment. Adding to…
Teaching Ritual
Many teachers share an interest in bringing a better appreciation of ritual into their religious studies classes, but are uncertain how to do it. Religious studies faculty know how to teach texts, but they often have difficulty teaching something for which the meaning lies in the doing. How do you teach such “doing”? How much need be done? How does the teacher talk about the religiosity that exists in personalized relationships, not textual descr…

Youth participation in evaluation: Young People Should Be Seen and Heard
This study reports on the evaluation of two Australian educational initiatives that involved a high degree of youth participation in the evaluation process. Both evaluations involved capturing youth perspectives through photographic portfolios as one of the data collection methods, in order to portray young people's understandings of the relationship between leadership and the potential to create change in their communities. The article describes…
Culture: What Does One Do With It Now?”
With so many sleek and exciting methodologies about today, to speak to strengths—and weaknesses—of cultural method appears to have a particular subtext: is it possible to give any legitimacy to this old jalopy?1 And there may be another possible subtext, that only a member of an older generation would or could try to do this. However, no generational is intended, I am sure; rather, youngest scholars on scene simply have little sense of cultural m…
Paradigms Behind (And Before) the Modern Concept of Religion
This essay identifies five paradigms that are basic to understanding the historical emergence and uses of the generic idea of "religion" in the Christian cultures of Europe and America. The spread of this concept has been sufficiently thorough in recent centuries as to make religion appear to be a "social fact," to use Durkheim's phrase, rather than so many cultural expressions and different social practices. The supremacy of Euro-American cultur…
Exercice physique, rituel et dissidence politique
Depuis quelques années, une secte chinoise appelée Falun Gong met l’accent sur un ensemble d’exercices physiques qui serait la clé de la bonne santé physique et du progrès spirituel. Cependant, dans le contexte actuel en République populaire de Chine, ces exercices ont revêtu une signification correspondant à une forme de contestation politique, intolérable pour l’État.Cette organisation de citoyens de classe moyenne qui se rassemblaient dans les…

Ritual: Perspectives and Dimensions
From handshakes and toasts to chant and genuflection, ritual pervades our social interactions and religious practices. Still, few of us could identify all of our daily and festal ritual behaviors, much less explain them to an outsider. Similarly, because of the variety of activities that qualify as ritual and their many contradictory yet, in many ways, equally legitimate interpretations, ritual seems to elude any systematic historical and compara…
Religion and Chinese Culture: "Toward an Assessment of "Popular Religion
Shifts in terminology may be harbingers of a revolutionary new paradigm or a repackaging of older dilemmas. Recently some terminological rearrangements have emerged with sufficient consistency in studies of Chinese religion and culture to warrant examination of their implicit assumptions and practical ramifications. In brief, the trend in the study of Chinese religion, and in the history of religions generally, has been to talk of "popular religi…

Ritualization of Texts and Textualization of Ritual in the Codification of Taoist Liturgy
Early in the fifth century in China, the Taoist master began to edit a set of scriptures that had been "revealed" years earlier. These were the Ling-pao or Spiritual tures, considered to be the second major scriptural development of medieval Taoism. 1 In reconstructing corpus of Ling-pao scriptures from among a multitude and forgeries, Lu worked to present these texts as revelation of the Tao in history, thereby inhibiting further and securing so…

Discourse and dichotomies: The structure of ritual theory
Scholars formulate the interrelationships of religion, society and culture in a variety of ways, yet few contest the primacy of ritual as a clear and definitive component of the processes these terms are meant to describe. Certainly since Robertson Smith's study of ritual sacrifice and community in The Religion of the Semites, ritual has had a central role in the theoretical depiction and interpretation of religion. 1 Recently it has become less …

Printing and Religion in China: Some Evidence from the Taishang Ganying Pian
The oldest extant edition of the well-known morality book, the Taishang ganying pian [Treatise of the Most High on Action and Retribution, hereafter Treatise] dates from the 11th century. Numerous editions have succeeded that one, variously packaging the short tract with prefaces, instructions, miracle tales, and ledgers of merits and demerits. Taken together, this succession of editions forms a coherent textual lineage, thin in some periods but …

Ritual Theory, Ritual Practice: A Theory of Ritual and a Theory of Practice
This article examines the relationship between ritual theory and ritual practice. It argues that current theories of ritual, influenced by structuralism and symbolic anthropology, often prioritize abstract meanings and neglect the practical aspects of ritual performance. The authors propose a more grounded approach that considers the embodied, sensory, and social dimensions of ritual action. They draw on ethnographic examples to illustrate how ri…
Religions of China in Practice
This third volume of Princeton Readings in Religions demonstrates that the three of China - Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism (with a fourth, folk religion, sometimes added) - are not mutually exclusive: they overlap and interact with each other in a rich variety of ways. The volume also illustrates some of the many interactions between Han culture and the cultures designated by the current government as minorities. Selections from minority cult…
"A Precious Raft to Save the World" The Interaction of Scriptural Traditions and Printing in a Chinese Morality Book
In 1755 Huang Zhengyuan, the compiler of “illustrated explanations” (tushuo) of moral tracts, introduced his edition of the Taishang ganying pian (Treatise of the Most High on Action and Retribution) with a compelling argument about the merit to be obtained from distributing morality books (shanshu). Since good deeds bring good fortune and bad deeds bring calamity, he argued, those who would maximize their good fortune should look to the most eff…

Ritual Symbols, Syntax, and Praxis: Questions of Cultural Meaning and Interpretation
Theorists who began to go beyond the framework of functional structuralism have been called symbolists, culturalists, and, more awkwardly, symbolic-culturalists. In contrast to how functionalism closely links symbols to social organization, culturalists tend to see these links as weak and indirect and emphasize instead the autonomy and languagelike nature of a cultural system of symbols. In other words, culturalists interpret the symbols and symb…
Basic Genres of Ritual Action
Almost all of the theories of ritual examined in part I come with their own typologies or classification systems for analyzing the plethora of ritual activities. While often descriptively useful, these typologies are designed to support the particular theory being advanced and sometimes reinforce unconscious assumptions about ritual. For example, a simple system proposed by Èmile Durkheim divided “the confused multiplicity of all the ritual forms…
Myth or Ritual: Questions of Origin and Essence
The study of ritual began with a prolonged and influential debate on the origins of religion that gave rise to several important styles of interpretation—evolutionary, sociological, and psychological—from which new fields of scholarship emerged. The simple question at the heart of this productive controversy was whether religion and culture were originally rooted in myth or in ritual. While the theoretical positions people adopted were more diver…
Ritual Reification
Discussions of ritual density and change inevitably imply that there is something essential and stable that undergoes variations according to time and place. These discussions and each of the theories of ritual outlined in part I reify ritual, that is, assume there is a substantive phenomenon at stake, not simply an abstract analytical category. The spectrum of ritual and ritual-like activities explored in part II appears to give little cause for…
Ritual Density
The issue of ritual density—namely, why some societies or historical periods have more ritual than others—is rarely addressed directly. Usually some account of ritual density is the by-product of theories of the evolution of religion or the classification of types of religious cosmologies or institutions. For example, William Robertson Smith’s early theory of ritual and religion, presented in chapter 2, contained an implicit explanation for why a…
Characteristics of Ritual-like Activities
In modern Western society, we tend to think of ritual as a matter of special activities inherently different from daily routine action and closely linked to the sacralities of tradition and organized religion. Such connections encourage us to regard ritual as somewhat antiquated and, consequently, as somewhat at odds with modernity. Hence, ritual often seems to have more to do with other times and places than with daily life as we know it in post…
Dedication
Ritual Change
Questions of ritual density and style are not far removed from questions of ritual change, that is, the way in which rituals change over time. Yet the issue of ritual change has been much more central to study and analysis of ritual than the issue of density. Indeed, much controversy surrounds questions of ritual change among people involved firsthand in performing ritual. There are very few religious groups that are not concerned today with how …
Ritual and Society: Questions of Social Function and Structure
The early work of Tylor and Robertson Smith, among others, while engaged in answering questions concerning the origin of religion, also bore the seeds of new questions. As formulated by those scholars who followed them, these questions were concerned less with the historical or psychological origins of ritual than with its role and purpose in society—in other words, ritual’s social function. The theories grouped in this section are representative…
Metis Constitutional Rights in Section 35(1)
In this article, the author explores the need for a theory of Aboriginal rights broad enough to include all of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada. She examines recent developments in judicial recognition of the constitutional rights of the Metis people since their inclusion in s. 35(1) of the Constitution Act, 1982 and applies the fiduciary principle to dealings between the federal government and the Metis. The author also argues that the Metis' in…
