The Archetypal Actions of Ritual: A Theory of Ritual Illustrated by the Jain Rite of Worship - Oxford Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Humphrey
This book presents a new and radical general theory of ritual by drawing on an ethnographically rich account of the ritual worship of the Jains of western India. The authors argue that ritual is not a logically separate type of activity, but rather a quality that can be attributed to a much wider range of everyday activity than is usually supposed.
