MIHAI COMAN - A COLLECTIVE PURIFICATION RITUAL

MIHAI COMAN
University of Bucureşti, Faculty of Journalism

Issue:

CP, Number 2

Section:

No. 2 (1997)

Abstract:

Ceremonial space is hard to classify; the often-discouraging

 

variety of manifestations renders, by its simple existence, the various proposed classifications. This turns out to be true for the rites of traditional societies, as well as for those of modern societies. Yet, any classification is a problem of perspective, a problem of choosing criteria, or one of differentiation: in the specialised bibliographies, the most frequent distinctions call upon the belonging of ceremonies to either a certain type of culture (archaic rites and modern rites) or to the object of the ceremonies (rites of the human life cycle and rites of the natural cycles), to the purpose of the ritual action (positive and negative rites), or to the relationship with the sacred (magic and religious rites, sacred and laic rites), finally, to the relationship with the history of a community (celebration and memorial rites) or to the degree of social mobilisation (interactive and mass rituals).

LUDMILLA KOSTOVA - (EN)GENDERING A EUROPEAN PERIPHERY: IMAGES OF THE BALKANS IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH FICTION

LUDMILLA KOSTOVA
University of Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria

Issue:

CP, Number 2

Section:

No. 2 (1997)

Abstract:

The present essay is about the Balkans as an imaginative-geographical topos. Such topoi are, as a rule, easily classifiable in terms of self / same – other relations. A classification along such lines may involve the identification of a centre, embodying what happens to be seen as ideologically important at a given moment, and a periphery or peripheries.
