Rites et rituels contemporains - 3e éd. [French]

By Martine Segalen

In contrast to traditional societies, modern societies have often been denied the ability to ritualize. This book on the contrary draws attention to the strength of contemporary rituals and decodes them in the light of the classical theories of anthropology.
Drawing upon the limited number of symbolic references and with a relatively fixed structure, the rituals are never "new" as they are constantly being reinvented from a mythical and social ground.
