520 |a Pennington and Allocco’s edited anthology is a timely production on a well-furrowed theme: ritual’s (standing for cultural and religious) immutability and innovation (standing for volatility and malleability or mutability). The contributors adopt a methodology that goes beyond ritual’s diachronic (evolutionary) change a la the Oxford anthropologist Edward Tylor as well as the functionalist approach to rituals spearheaded by Bronislaw Malinowski and Alfred Radcliffe-Brown who argued for ritual’s resilience and stability. At the same time the book under review, while recognizing the theory of ritual change adumbrated by the Chicago anthropologist Clifford Geertz, who found the functionalists relied on well-integrated societies with a stable equilibrium but neglected the "disruptive, disintegrative, and psychologically disturbing aspects of ritual", yet follows Catherine Bell’s theory that sees "ritual as a type of social strategy". Viewed thus, the contributors to the Ritual Innovation address "the mechanisms, means, and strategies that analysis of change and development in ritual practices makes visible".
