Collaborative Research Center 619 "Ritual Dynamics" Socio-Cultural Processes from a Historical and Culturally Comparative Perspective

From 2002 until 2013, the interdisciplinary Collaborative Research Centre “Ritual Dynamics” (SFB 619), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), investigated rituals as well as their change and dynamics. So-far it was the first and only German Collaborative Research Center for ritual studies. In 31 different subprojects more than 140 scientists, mostly from the field of humanities, have handled different issues.
