SUMMARY:How to do things with “rituals” in Byans\, Far Western Nepal
DESCRIPTION:\n	Nawa Katsuo (Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology\,
  Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia\, the University of Tokyo\; HYI 
 Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair and Discussant: Michael Puett (Walter C. Klein
  Professor of Chinese History\, EALC\, Harvard University)\n\n\n	Co-sponso
 red with the Department of South Asian Studies\, Harvard University\n\n	 
 \n\n	The main inhabitants of Byans\, a Himalayan valley in Far Western Nep
 al\, have performed various standardized sequences of actions which anthro
 pologists have called rituals. In this talk\, Prof. Nawa will describe the
 se "rituals" ethnographically without presupposing that they are rituals. 
 Many of these "rituals" are conceptualized as verbs\, and almost always "d
 one" by carrying out one\, two\, of three named small actions. Prof. Nawa 
 will discuss what they "physically" do in these "rituals\," what they call
  these "rituals" and particular actions\, how they explain them\, and what
  these "rituals" as a whole and particular actions "bring about\," referri
 ng to but not relying on such terms as "symbol\," "structure\," "function\
 ," "interpretation\," "ideology\," "resistance\," "-ization\," "aesthetics
 \," and "ritual" itself.
