Take Home Quiz

There is no blog post due this week. Your take home quiz (20 pts) should discuss one of the following questions. A thorough response should be approximately 2 pages. You should hand this quiz in by next week.

Oh--You do not need to read the article in your reader about the Zuni origin story. You can, however, read it if you are interested.

1) Religious rituals are religion in action. Describe what in fact is accomplished by religious rituals?


2) What is a revitalization movement? Explain how and why do they come into existence?

I'm looking for detail in your responses. I encourage you to give examples for your responses, e.g. referencing and/or discussing the readings, class discussions, films, etc.

Also, for next week, Paul Tyler, an ethnomusicologist, is going to guest lecture. He's scheduled on the syllabus to speak on December 1st.

This is due by class time on Monday.
