Despite this general disinterest, a Marxist approach to ritual offers an analysis based on the material effects rites of passage produce instead of the hermeneutical speculation that seeks to ascribe a deeper, transcendent meaning that removes them from their conjuncture. If one of the objects of Marxism is political economy, then the analysis of any ritual will always occur in direct relation to the mode of production of the conjuncture in which it is articulated. The Marxism and Rites of Passage panel seeks to interrogate the way in which rites of passage feature in the quotidian moments of everyday life by both reproducing the relations and forces of production but also challenging and resisting them. The abstracts below feature three diverse approaches to this question. Each of our papers attempts to think about ritual in a materialist way. That is to say, according to the effects that it produces within its conjuncture. Through exploring the modes of economic practice in ancient Christianity, Althusser’s materialist theory of ideology, and Indian classical dance, we attempt to elaborate what a Marxist approach to rites of passage can look like.
