DESCRIPTION:
Almost all of the texts assigned in Part I of this course have distinct discussions of ritual. Select ONE of these texts and choose ONE passage that you believe represents your selected text’s understanding of ritual. Analyze the passage in detail, being sure to explain its underlying assumptions about ritual (e.g. origin, purpose, and implications). You probably will need to draw upon or quote other portions of the text or other assigned texts to support your argument.
