The Drums of Affliction : A Study of Religious Processes Among the Ndembu of Zambia EPUB
by V. W. Turner
Part of the African Ethnographic Studies of the 20th Century series
EPUB
Description
In this study of the Ndembu of Zambia, ritual is examined under two aspects: as a regulator of social relations over time and as a system of symbols. Social life is thereby given direction and meaning. An extended case-study of a series of ritual performances in the life of a single village community is analysed in order to estimate the effects of participation in these symbolic events on its component groups and personalities.
