Beyond „modern“, „secular“, and „religion“ through dance improvisation: Handling situations of uncertainty in (inter)action

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Mary Douglas viewed with irony the anthropologists' notion that "primitives expect rites to produce an immediate intervention in their affairs", and their tendency to "poke kindly fun at those who supplement their rituals of healing with European medicine...". Ernest Gellner expressed the idea that "oracle-surrogates" remain in use in a modern society in cases of serious non-calculable problems. My ethnographic fieldwork of contemporary dance improvisation shows that various kinds of "oracle-surrogates", "magic", and other "uncertain techniques", like "intuition", belief in rightness of what is happening by itself, and various forms of bodily intelligence, in combination with various "instrumentally rational techniques", form an important part of pragmatic handling of uncertainty and ambivalence.
