摘要

基于对Dana Logan的《尴尬的仪式》小组讨论的贡献，本文阐述了该书的第一章，Logan在其中讨论了美国共和国早期共济会的仪式。它考虑了共济会仪式实践与洛根关于革命前和革命后美国变化模式的论点的特殊意义;并反映了这种仪式尴尬概念的一般理论意义，体现在共济会，被认为是一种有目的的活动形式。它提出了关于洛根的见解在比较宗教研究中的更广泛适用性的问题，无论是研究历史还是思考仪式。

Awkward History, Awkward Theory

Abstract Based on a contribution to a panel discussion on Dana Logan’s Awkward Rituals , this essay addresses the first chapter of the book, in which Logan discusses the rites of Freemasons in the early American republic. It considers the particular significance of Masonic ritual practice with respect to Logan’s arguments about patterns of change in pre- and post-Revolutionary America; and reflects on the general theoretical import of this notion of ritual awkwardness, embodied by the Freemasons, considered as a form of purposive activity. It raises questions about the broader applicability in comparative religious studies of Logan’s insights, both for studying history and for thinking about ritual.

期刊介绍： Method & Theory in the Study of Religion publishes articles, notes, book reviews and letters which explicitly address the problems of methodology and theory in the academic study of religion. This includes such traditional points of departure as history, philosophy, anthropology and sociology, but also the natural sciences, and such newer disciplinary approaches as feminist theory and studies. Method & Theory in the Study of Religion also concentrates on the critical analysis of theoretical problems prominent in the study of religion.
