Abstract

The outcome of the interdisciplinary panel Devising Order. Socio-religious Models, Rituals, and the Performativity of Practice was convened on February 29th 2008 at the European Social Science History Conference in Lisbon (26 February–1 March 2008). The goal of the three sessions constituting this panel was to compare and confront insights and methodologies developed in various research disciplines concerned with religion and society on the one hand and performance, ritual, and performative practices on the other. Rituals, performance, and performative practices have attracted increased attention among students of religion and society in recent decades. The relation between ritual and performance is a debated issue among theorists, but it is obvious that performance studies and ritual studies are becoming something of an item in historical sciences in general and in religious history in particular. Keywords:European societies; performativity; rituals; socio-religious models
