This chapter places ritual studies and queer analysis in direct conversation. It treats Montreal neopagan practice as a space where gender performativity is not only represented but enacted, negotiated, and sometimes reinforced through embodied ritual performance.
The open excerpt confirms the volume, table of contents, and contributor context, while the full book remains paywalled. The author bio in the excerpt identifies Lepage as a doctoral student at UQAM in sciences des religions at the time of publication.
For the archive, the chapter helps connect the doctoral-era community research to a broader ritual-studies audience without reducing the work to a single disciplinary frame.
