Ritual and corporeality : Ronald L. Grimm's ritology

• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

EN

The aim of the present paper is to discuss the thin border dividing ritual and non-ritual activity by contrasting two opposing theories of ritualization: one perceiving ritualization as a static phenomenon, the other as a dynamic process. Since the author favors the latter, he stresses the crucial importance of corporeality as the source and vehicle of (embryonic) ritual forms. The article further presents a brief introduction to the work of Ronald L. Grimes, a renown ritologist, who has been practically unknown to both the Czech scholarly and general public. Among other things, Grimes explores the origin, development, and extinction of rituals and their place in modern Euro-American society.
