REL 74.07 Ritual in Post-Modern Great Britain

This is a course on ritual. It is designed to expose you to the major theories that seek to define, explain and interpret ritual and to apply those theories to actual rituals in situ. This means we will be reading and discussing intensively in seminar. We will also be taking advantage of the rich multicultural environment of this exciting city to attend various rituals—religious and otherwise. Your papers and presentations will be observations and analyses of two rituals from among the multitude of religious rituals available in Edinburgh and the United Kingdom.
