The Victim and its Masks: An Essay on Sacrifice and Masquerade in the Maghreb
Hammoudi, Abdellah (University of Princeton)
The Ait Mazine of northern Morocco reenact the story of Abraham as a ritual sacrifice, a symbolic observance of submission to the divine. After comes a bacchanalian masquerade which seems to violate every principle the sacrifice affirmed. This study reunites them as a single ritual process.
