Book Synopsis
This book demonstrates that our daily relations, like our most recognized institutions, are based on a symbolic foundation put in place by rituals. Rituals are present at every level of society and are an expression of the sacredness of society, as much as they are an expression of the cultures and eras that communicate through them.

Table of Contents

1. A Plurality of Anthropology, a Permanence of Symbolic Mediations.
2. The Ritual, a “Total Scientific Object”.
3. Rituals and the Media.
4. The Ritual Institution of Society.
