| Résumé: | Johanna Sumiala situates Media and Ritual within the growing field of media anthropology, which seeks to understand the role of media in creating symbolic order in modern societies. Media and Ritual explores the various ways in which media connects us to a shared imagined reality. The book's thesis is that mediatized rituals are necessary in modern societies to provide a sense of order and cohesion, particularly in times of social disaster. Part I of the book provides a lengthy overview of media anthropology and theoretical frameworks pertinent to the intersection of media, ritual, and community. This includes summaries of theoretical discussions of ritual and community in the work of classical and contemporary scholars, especially Durkheim and Turner. |
