Anthropological Perspectives on Ritual and Religious Ignorance. Chua, L. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 10abstract bibtex This chapter examines the role that multiple forms and discourses of ignorance play in ritual and religious life, as well as their social and political effects in particular ethnographic settings. Following a brief overview of the long-standing but largely implicit presence of ignorance in the anthropology of religion, the chapter explores three broad themes: 1) the productivity of ignorance in situations of loss, change and collective amnesia; 2) ethical or strategic cultivations of ignorance; and 3) the politics of ignorance. Taken together, these contributions lay bare the many overlaps and slippages between ignorance and other cognate phenomena such as amnesia, ambiguity, loss, indifference, and ‘wilful blindness’. At the same time, they raise vital questions about how to hold analytical and ‘native’ ideas about ignorance in productive tension, as well as how scholarship on ignorance might offer nuanced, complex views of contemporary moral and political dilemmas.
