RYTUAŁ RELIGIJNY A KWESTIA RÓŻNORODNOŚCI KULTUROWEJ

Maria Sroczyńska

Abstract

Religious ritual, independently of its reference to sacrum, remains in the center of each culture. Taking into account the complex meaning of cultural diversity, this latter may be discussed as a constitutive feature of society – which presupposes the existence of a dominant majority and minority groups – but also as an attributive feature (multiculturalism), referring to the possibility of creating various identities in accordance with the principle of freedom and equality of cultures. The article is an attempt to present the important problems of religious rituals, their meaning for postmodern civilization and postmodern cultural order. These issues are discussed using “dramatic”, functional and communicative perspectives.

Keywords:

religious ritual, cultural diversity, multicultural order, “dramatic” perspective, functional perspective, communication perspective
