Ritual Systems : Prostration, Self, and Community in the Rule of Benedict
Ritual has often been considered as one type of behavior, and examinations of ritual have been focused on the etic question of which activities can be considered ritual. Catherine Bell introduced the concept of a ritual systems account, which considers the way that posture, gesture, narrative, symbols, and verbal formulas create emic, performed connections between different aspects of a human cultural system or systems. Ritual is not one behavior among others, but a performance defined by its connective links to other cultural and somatic behaviors. These links are ambiguous and may be subverted, resisted, reinterpreted, or altered. An analysis of prostration rites in the Rule of Benedict reveals a method for studying ritual systemically, demonstrates the ambiguity of each rite, and highlights the significance of an interpretive ritual cycle in the construction of the «new self» in Christian monastic practice, as studied by Michel Foucault and Talal Asad.
