Turner demonstrates in these pages how the analysis of ritual behavior and symbolism may be used as a key to understanding social structure and processes. He extends Van Gennep's notion of the "liminal phase" of rites of passage to a more general level, and applies it to gain understanding of a wide range of social phenomena. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - It all starts here...Whether one agrees with him or not, ritual studies as a sub-field straddling anthropology, ethnography and religious studies begins with Victor Turner, and if you want to understand it you need to know this book intimately. Whether or not ritual studies has really moved beyond Victor Turner is a hot topic of debate for those of us who deal with this area of research...but whether or not you need to know him is a given, and it all starts with this text. Rating:  - landmark workVictor Turner is one of the great names in anthropology and this is a classic work of analysis of social rituals. He takes van Gennep's theories on rites of passage to a new level, examining how different elements of festivals and rites function.
