Recenzii
This book is recommended for advanced students and scholars interested in ritual practice, pilgrimage, and studies of gender and religion.
Voices of the Ritual is a wonderful achievement by a fine scholar. It enriches the study of ritual, place, gender, borders, politics, religion and more. Stadler takes us with her among pilgrims and ritualists honoring female saints in female spaces. At least, that is their ambition. Frustrations, marginalization and transgressions compose constraints and contests over the fragile creativity and enchantment of intimate devotion performed materially by bodies in places.
In this ethnographically rich study, Nurit Stadler accompanies us through the complex ritual worlds of different religious communities and their female saints and shrines. Through her exploration of bodily practices and the ritual appropriation of contested spaces, we discover unexpected dimensions of devotion in the Holy Land.
Stadler's remarkable work contains one of the richest accounts of ritual I have encountered in years. This is a book about sacred space, landscape, gender, borders, the politics of possession, and much more-all woven into a text that guides us through the contested shrines, streets and territories of a Holy Land that constantly appeals to the past and yet is ever-changing.
A path-breaking journey within the embodied interiors of women's shrines and into their rituals of death, fertility, and rebirth in the Holy Land. Stadler's remarkable study demonstrates decisively how these rituals, intended to create and protect family units, torque with intensity into struggles over the lived-in terrain of Israel/Palestine.
