Serendipitous ritualization: dynamics of lay connectivity in Chinese Buddhist temples and beyond Ritualisation fortuite : dynamique de la connectivité des laïques dans les temples bouddhistes chinois et au‐delà

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article contributes to rethinking the dichotomy between informal sociality and ritual formality by examining the occasional ritual encounters surrounding spirit‐tablet inscription in Chinese Buddhist temples. Rather than viewing rituals as enactments of established orders, it presents ritual engagement as a contingent process of relational ...
