5. and three years after Victor Turner’s The Anthropology of Performance (1986), Communication and Culture seems to be in conversation with these texts, particularly in its expansive definition of ritual acts, for example Balinese cockfights, student rallies. Yet these books are notably absent from Carey’s bibliography. This curious omission points to the distinct genealogies of communication and performance studies and their embrace of different foundational texts. Disciplinary divergence may also explain why few theatre and performance scholars have explored Carey’s work, despite his emphasis on ritual.
