> Short Abstract
>
> This panel explores the importance of emotions in the context of newly
> created contemporary rituals and the sense of embodied experience of the
> divine they aim to bring about. We invite ethnographically grounded papers
> exploring these issues in different religious contexts.

>
> Long Abstract
>
> Ritual is being reclaimed across a wide spectrum of religious communities
> in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Through the re-interpretation of
> traditional rituals and/or the creation of new ones, people in different
> religious contexts seek to revitalize nature religions, experience the
> presence of the Virgin Mary, establish a contact with the spirits of their
> home country or come to terms with difficult decisions such as an abortion
> or a divorce. Participants in and creators of these new rituals often seek
> an embodied experience of the sacred that serves as evidence of direct
> contact with the numinous. Emotions play an important role in the process of
> creating a sense of embodied sacredness that emphasizes the immanent nature
> of the divine.
>
> In this panel we would like to analyze the specific function of ritual as a
> vehicle for the expression of emotions: those of participants as well as
> those that the creators of ritual wish to solicit. We are particularly
> interested in exploring the ways in which ritual experiences manifest
> themselves through the body. What kind of 'healing' experiences do the
> participants report? What kind of physical and spiritual relationships do
> they establish?
>
> This panel seeks papers that explore these issues in a variety of contexts,
> such as those of new religious movements, modern Paganisms, and 'feminist'
> interpretations of more conventional rites, as well as pilgrimage and
> religious migration.
