Performance has become a paradigm for analyzing contemporary culture; a pattern that structures a particular view of human interaction and experience. Performance is also widely used to better understand how we express values and ideas; including religious beliefs. Reckoning with Spirit in the Paradigm of Performance asks how the sensibilities of religious experience; which many people call spirituality; shape peoples performance. When we observe people performing words; dances; music; and rituals they consider sacred; what (if any) conclusions can we draw about their experiences from what we see; read; and hear? By analyzing performances of spirituality and what people experience as "spirit;" this book adds a new dimension to the paradigm of performance.

Brought me back AND gave me a history lesson.By Jim01453I came across this book one day while I was using a search engine to find information on Whitman. I have to say that I found the facts interesting and I absolutely loved the older pictures. It was interesting to look at the old pictures and compare to what is not there today or what is still the same. The book has comments and pictures of the police stand in the center of town. My father was a police officer in the 60s and 70s and I can remember him directing traffic in it. Well worth the money and it will become part of your cherished library.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good book on WhitmanBy Jean HOh fun. My mothers home town..
