项目摘要

Religious rituals do work, essential social work, according to both ritual theorists and the UK government, which has recognized clergy as key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Funerals, weddings, birth rituals, and holiday observances are vital to people's psychological wellbeing and sense of community, especially given the sense of unease created by the pandemic. But the key means by which clergy do this vital work-live communal ritual-is not possible during lockdown conditions. And so ritual specialists have been forced to improvise means of moving rituals online, something which is virtually unknown to most mainstream clergy. Because these improvised innovations are being done quickly by busy practicing clergy with little co-ordination between them, they are not being collected or studied in a systematic or detailed way. The full implications of these innovations are thus not being adequately considered or developed in ways that could be beneficial for the wellbeing of Britons of all faiths long after the pandemic is over.This project will fill that gap. It will work with religious professionals of a range of faiths from across Britain to capture, analyse, nurture and develop these fire-forged innovations and the possibilities they facilitate, using digitally-led methods drawn from digital religion, online religion and performance studies, including involving subjects in action research. These findings will be shared broadly and accessibly for the benefit of the field. They will also contribute academically to ongoing discussions of the changing practices of religion and ritual in the era of digital culture.

根据仪式理论家和英国政府的说法，宗教仪式确实有效，是必不可少的社会工作，英国政府已将神职人员视为COVID-19大流行期间的关键工作者。葬礼、婚礼、出生仪式和节日仪式对人们的心理健康和社区意识至关重要，特别是考虑到大流行造成的不安感。但在封锁条件下，神职人员完成这项重要工作的关键手段——生活公共仪式——是不可能的。因此，仪式专家被迫即兴创作将仪式转移到网上的方法，这对大多数主流神职人员来说几乎是未知的。由于这些即兴的创新是由忙碌的神职人员快速完成的，他们之间几乎没有协调，因此没有以系统或详细的方式收集或研究。因此，这些创新的全部影响没有得到充分考虑，也没有得到充分发展，在疫情结束后很长一段时间内，这些创新的方式可能有益于所有信仰的英国人的福祉。这个项目将填补这一空白。它将与来自英国各地的各种信仰的宗教专业人士合作，利用来自数字宗教、在线宗教和表演研究（包括涉及行动研究的主题）的数字主导方法，捕捉、分析、培养和发展这些火锻造的创新及其促进的可能性。这些发现将被广泛和容易地分享，以造福该领域。他们还将在学术上为正在进行的关于数字文化时代宗教和仪式变化的讨论做出贡献。
