《仪式过程》内容简介

　　本书是人类学经典著作之一，堪与列维-斯特劳斯和伊里亚德的伟大作品同列。

　　在本书中，特纳通过在非洲恩登布部落中的田野考察，将仪式在这个群体中的地位进行了诠释。特纳拓展了“阈限”与“交融”的概念，发展了传统的结构主义。与之同时代的范热内普、马克斯·韦伯、涂尔干等都曾经试图把所有的文化行为统一在超级结构里，提出涵盖全体的普遍化模式，特纳则突破了传统静态的社会结构的研究，把仪式放在运动的社会过程中加以考察，他把社会看作交融与结构的辩证统一，从而有“分化-阈限-再整合”的过程，这是结构与反结构的相互作用的结果。

Introduction to the content of Ritual Process

This book is one of the classics of anthropology, up there with the great works of Levi-Strauss and Eliard.

In this book, Turner explores the place of ritual in the Ndembu tribe of Africa through field trips to the group. Turner expanded the concepts of "threshold" and "blending" and developed traditional structuralism. At the same time, Van Genep, Max Weber and Durkheim all tried to unify all cultural behaviors in a super structure and put forward a universal model covering all. Turner broke through the traditional static social structure study and investigated ritual in the social process of movement. He regarded society as the dialectical unity of integration and structure. Thus there is the process of "differentiation - threshold - reintegration", which is the result of the interaction between structure and anti-structure.

About the author

British anthropologist, representative of the Manchester School of symbolic Anthropology and anthropology, was quite active and prolific in the 1960s and 1970s. Turner's anthropological research mainly focuses on symbolic ritual, through which he grasps the recombination of social structure. Turner's works include: The Division and Continuation of an African Society (1957), The Forest of Symbols: The Ndembu Ritual Treatise (1967), Drums of Suffering (1968), Ritual Process (1969), and Drama, Scene and Metaphor (1974). Ritual Process: Structure and Anti-Structure is a masterpiece of Turner's analysis of ritual behavior and symbolism, which has established Turner's academic status in the field of anthropology.
