Description: Ritual As a Missing Link : Sociology, Structural Ritualization Theory and Research, Hardcover by Knottnerus, J. David, ISBN 1594518556, ISBN-13 9781594518553, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Knottnerus (sociology, Oklahoma State U.) sees the study of ritual as a "missing link" in sociology. He defines ritual as patterns repeated regularly by groups or individuals. They can be both religious and secular and can be either internally or externally imposed. This book is an introduction to his Structural Ritualization Theory, therefore the first chapters give the background to and essence of SRT. Later chapters give examples of ritualization. The most dramatic of these is the disruption of daily ritual caused by internment in concentration camps, the imposition of a new ritual and the creation of group ritual as a counter measure. Knottnerus has also applied this to ritualized mistreatment of the elderly in nursing homes, which will be published in a later volume. He sees this study as providing a different way of seeing and improving society and looks forward to further research by others. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
