The Future Of Ritual: Writings on Culture and

How is performance used in politics, medicine, religion, popular entertainment and individual interactions? InThe Future of Ritual, Richard Schechner explores the nature of ritualized behavior and its relationship to performance and politics. Schechner studies the interactions, sometimes easy, sometimes tense, among authors, directors, performers, and spectators. A brilliant examination of cultural expression and communal action,The Future of Ritual, available now in paperback, asks pertinent questions about art, theatre and the changing meaning of "culture" in today's intercultural world.
