The author argues that meta-ethnography is only the beginning of the return of comparative studies in ethnomusicology. She suggests that in the future, a combination of meta-ethnography with ethnographic accounts of fieldwork and musical analysis will set the stage for an integrated approach called comparative ethnomusicology. Finally, the author argues that in a time of global conflict and religious extremism, scholars have a responsibility to demonstrate possibilities for religious harmony and peaceful coexistence whenever possible","PeriodicalId":413477,"journal":{"name":"Ritual Soundings","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125157064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It presents an analysis of the myth of Demeter and Persephone, exploring the function of lamentation and mockery as responses to the marriage event in an epic tale that recounts the abduction-marriage of Persephone by Hades and Demeter’s search for her abducted daughter. The chapter argues that lamentation and mockery are common responses, by the disempowered, to the simultaneous destruction and creation of social bonds and forms of community that occur during marriage.","PeriodicalId":413477,"journal":{"name":"Ritual Soundings","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126245533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One involves documenting and comparing the practice of lamentation and mockery in prenuptial events in many different cultures across several religions; the other explores the ways in which women actively exploit the ambiguity generated by performance in ritual contexts to express their opinions or do something they would not normally be allowed to do. The chapter draws on the work of Tomoko Masuzawa and Catherine Bell in the examination of the ideas of world religion and ritual. The book’s meta-ethnographic approach is illustrated through the analysis of the Dormition Pilgrimage in Jerusalem while the localizing effect of women’s practices is demonstrated through an analysis of the rise of feminist Christian theology.","PeriodicalId":413477,"journal":{"name":"Ritual Soundings","volume":"241 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122259549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
