Ritual and social networks: Measuring the costs and benefits of religious ritual in Mauritius

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The topic of my PhD is the relationship between social position and participation in religious rituals. I will conduct research among the Marathi Hindu community in Mauritius, focusing mainly on the Ganesh-chaturthi festival, which is dedicated to the anniversary of lord Ganesh. Participation in the festival requires considerable energetic, time and financial investments and preparations can take several weeks. My prediction is that people at the social periphery will invest more in the ritual in efforts to better their social position. Conversely, people who are already in central positions in the social network will be less motivated and expend less energy in the ritual. One of the main tasks of my fieldwork will be to calculate costs and benefits ofritual participation. Specifically, I will try to get as precise measurements of costs as possible ?temporal, financial and physiological costs. I will measure social position with indicators like wealth, education, age etc.
