| Summary: | ENGLISH SUMMARY: To move beyond the finding that tightly regulated rituals and affective feasts seem to occur in pairs, this article asks why this is so. The article draws on Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s understanding of cultural phenomena, including religion, as a protection against chaos, and on Peter A. Levine’s understanding of adequate responses to potentially traumatising experiences to prevent emotional blockage. It analyses four calendar feasts in Jewish religion: the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Tabernacles, Passover, and Purim, based on the thesis that calendar feasts have evolved to facilitate collective ‘shake-and-run’-reactions when people have had reason to ‘freeze’ in response to potentially chaotic and life-threatening situations during the year, albeit in changing contexts. Concretely, the article asks, what anxiety relief do these four calendar feasts offer in different phases of Israelite-Jewish history of religion? DANSK RESUME: For at nå dybere end den erkendelse, at stramt regulerede ritualer og affektive fester synes at optræde i par, spørger denne artikel ind til, hvorfor det forholder sig således. Perspektiver til forklaring hentes fra Gilles Deleuze og Félix Guattaris forståelse af kulturelle fænomener, herunder religion, som et værn mod kaos og Peter A. Levines forståelse af ‘ryst-og-løb’-handlinger som nødvendige reaktioner på potentielt traumatiserende oplevelser, hvis blokeringer skal undgås. Artiklen undersøger fire kalenderritualer i jødisk religion: ugefesten, løvhyttefesten, påske og purim, ud fra den tese, at kalenderfester har udviklet sig til at facilitere kollektive ‘ryst-og-løb’-reaktioner, når mennesker har haft grund til at ‘fryse’ som reaktion på potentielt kaotiske og livstruende situationer i årets løb, om end i skiftende kontekster. Konkret spørges der til, hvilken frygtforløsning disse fire kalenderfester tilbyder i forskellige faser af israelitisk-jødisk religionshistorie? |
