Die US-Familientherapeutin Evan Imber-Black hat sich mit ihren Büchern, u.a. "Die Macht des Schweigens" (ID 16/99) und "Vertrauen und Geborgenheit" (ID 2/94), als Expertin für die therapeutische Nutzung von Ritualen in Familien einen Namen gemacht. Dieser Sammelband, 1993 erstmals in deutscher Sprache erschienen und jetzt unverändert in 5. Auflage vorliegend (hier bisher nicht angezeigt), hat sich als Standardwerk für den Einsatz von Ritualen für therapeutische Veränderungsprozesse entwickelt. Neben der Definition, den Funktionen und den Typologien von Ritualen in Familien wird anhand von Falldarstellungen belegt, wie die immer wiederkehrenden Themen Sicherheit und Wandel, Zugehörigkeit und Trennung, Abgrenzung und Öffnung, Gewinn und Verlust, Heilung und Tod und das Aushalten und Versöhnen widerstrebender Tendenzen in einem selbst und in der Gemeinschaft in den verschiedenen Phasen des Familien-Lebenszyklus' (z.B. bei Kindern, in der Paartherapie, bei Traumata) in die Therapie eingebracht werden können. - Für Therapeuten und beraterisch Tätige grundlegend.

This special section of Museum Worlds explores the entire process of repatriation as a set of rituals enacted by claimants and museum staff: a set of highlighted performances enacting multiple sets of cosmological beliefs, symbolic systems, and political structures. Some of the rituals of repatriation occur within the space of Indigenous ceremonies; others happen within the museum spaces of collections storage and the boardroom; others, such as handover ceremonies, are coproduced and culturally hybrid. From the often obsessive bureaucracy associated with repatriation claims to the affective moment of handover, repatriation articulates a moral landscape where memory, responsibility, guilt, identity, sanctity, place, and ownership are given a ritual form. Theory about ritual is used here to situate the articles in this section, which together form a cross-cultural examination of ritual meaning and form across repatriation processes.

Identifies the internal logics of rituals as taxonomization & transformation, whereas those of spectacle are taxonomization & presentation. The metalogic of transformation that characterizes rituals is delineated as intentional & anticipatory & specifies outcomes, stipulates control over method of causality, is self-monitoring, constructs conflicting conditions that must be addressed, & introduces uncertainty that permits transformation; the Chisungu, a transformation ritual of girls into women practiced among the Bemba of Zambia, is presented. It is contended that a spectacle is closely associated to the relationship between bureaucracy as a taxonomic system & statism; Jeremy Bentham's (1995 edition) notion of the utilitarian Panopticon exemplifies this close connection. Whereas rituals manipulate taxonomies, bureaucracies invent taxonomies & manage them systematically; thus, it is argued that the unification of bureaucracy & spectacle has produced an infrastructure that presents & represents a statist version of the social order. The Rio de Janeiro carnival is delineated as a spectacle capable of masking the Brazilian totalitarian regime's formative power in the shaping, discipline, & control of social order. It is concluded that rituals can function as sites of resistance to political hegemony, whereas spectacle is less responsive to the mobilization of resistance. 1 Photograph, 35 References.
