Does anyone have good suggestions for seminal texts for studying rituals from an anthropological perspective? Or discussions about the development of this study? I’ve read the (outdated) Van Gennep and Turner stuff.

Gerd Althoff and Geoff Koziol both do a lot w/ ritual, though they are historians not anthropologists. You might follow the footnotes in Buc’s Dangers of Ritual to see what he’s pissed off about. Garipzanov’s book I GREAT for carolingian semiotics

Lady With a Mead Cup (can’t recall the author name) is good for the specific case of women giving men drinking glasses (which repeats in a lot of forms)

Enright’s stuff is pretty out there tbh. Not well received. I’ve got Buc’s Dangers of Ritual and I’ve read some of Koziol’s stuff (his review of Buc) but his description of ritual in current anthropology is confusing and hard to understand.

Enright is the one who wrote the Mead Cup
