The Jewish Life Cycle Rites of Passage from Biblical to Modern Times
Free Download The Jewish Life Cycle: Rites of Passage from Biblical to Modern Times (Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies) by Ivan G. Marcus
English | October 1, 2004 | ISBN: 0295984414 | 376 pages | PDF | 6.92 Mb
In this original and sweeping review of Jewish culture and history, Ivan Marcus examines how and why various rites and customs celebrating stages in the life cycle have evolved through the ages and persisted to this day. For each phase of life―from childhood and adolescence to adulthood and the advanced years―the book traces the origin and development of specific rites associated with the events of birth, circumcision, and schooling; bar and bat mitzvah and confirmation; engagement, betrothal, and marriage; and aging, dying, and remembering. Customs in Jewish tradition, such as the presence of godparents at a circumcision, the use of a four-poled canopy at a wedding, and the placing of small stones on tombstones, are discussed. In each chapter, detailed descriptions walk the reader through such ceremonies as early modern and contemporary circumcision, weddings, and funerals.

Destruction Rites Ephemerality and Demolition in Postwar Visual Culture
Free Download Mona Hadler, "Destruction Rites: Ephemerality and Demolition in Postwar Visual Culture"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1784533408, 1350428973 | PDF | pages: 274 | 20.6 mb
In the early sixties, crowds gathered to watch rites of destruction - from the demolition derby where makeshift cars crashed into each other for sport, to concerts where musicians destroyed their instruments, to performances of self-destructing machines staged by contemporary artists. Destruction, in both its playful and fearsome aspects, was ubiquitous in the new Atomic Age. This complicated subjectivity was not just a way for people to find catharsis amid the fears of annihilation and postwar trauma, but also a complex instantiation of ideological crisis-in a time with some seriously conflicted political myths.Destruction Rites explores the ephemeral visual culture of destruction in the postwar era and its links to contemporary art. It examines the demolition derby; games and toys based on warfare; playgrounds situated in bomb sites; and the rise of garage sales, where goods designed for obsolescence and destined for the garbage heap are reclaimed and repurposed by local communities.

Saints, Heroes, Myths, and Rites Classical Durkheimian Studies of Religion and Society
Free Download Marcel Mauss, "Saints, Heroes, Myths, and Rites: Classical Durkheimian Studies of Religion and Society "
English | ISBN: 1594517746 | 2009 | 240 pages | EPUB | 493 KB
Classical Durkheimian Studies of Myth and the Sacred presents English translations of several important essays, some never before translated, by members of the famous Annee sociologique group around Emile Durkheim. These works by Marcel Mauss, Henri Hubert, and Robert Hertz are key contributions to today's growing interest in and reinterpretation of Durkheimian thought on culture, religion, and symbolism. The central thrust in this new interpretive effort uses the Durkheimian theory of the sacred to understand the symbolism and meanings of cultural structures and narratives more generally. This book is vital to any contemporary collection emphasizing social theory.

Blood Rites Origins and History of the Passions of War [Audiobook]
Free Download Blood Rites: Origins and History of the Passions of War (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B083QSJ6YL | 2020 | 9 hours and 56 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 284 MB
Author: Barbara Ehrenreich
Narrator: Amy Landon

What draws our species to war? What makes us see violence as a kind of sacred duty, or a ritual that boys must undergo to "become" men? Newly reissued, Blood Rites takes listeners on an original journey from the elaborate human sacrifices of the ancient world to the carnage and holocaust of 20th-century "total war." Ehrenreich sifts deftly through the fragile records of prehistory and discovers the wellspring of war in an unexpected place - not in a "killer instinct" unique to the males of our species, but in the blood rites early humans performed to reenact their terrifying experiences of predation by stronger carnivores. Brilliant in conception and rich in scope, Blood Rites is a monumental work that continues to transform our understanding of the greatest single threat to human life.
