In an ethnographic account of the Nuaulu, a people numbering about 2,000 on the island of Seram in the Indonesian province of Maluku, Ellen illustrates the relationship between the frequency and periodicity of ritual performances, and how these factors might influence the way systems of practices are reproduced. The main part of the study involved the systematic organization and analysis of Nuaulu field data on different categories of ritual event collected mainly between 1970 and 1996. This data was analyzed between 2002 and 2003, and the results tested against events during further field conducted in 2003. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

How religious practices are reproduced has become a major theoretical issue. This work examines data on Nuaulu ritual performances collected over a 30 year period, comparing different categories of event in terms of frequency and periodicity. It seeks to identify the influencing factors and the consequences for continuity.Originally published with imprint KITLV Press (ISBN 9789067183918).

"As a product of prolonged and dedicated labour also on his part, this book is a fine achievement and should be an inspiration to others to examine the emergent properties of ritual systems in their entirety."
