Affecting Performance: Meaning, Movement and Experience in Okiek Women's Initiation (Smithsonian Series in Ethnographic Inquiry) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Combining symbolic interpretation, discourse analysis, semiotics, history, political economy, and gender studies, Corinne A. Kratz examines the power of ritual to produce social transformation and explores how children are made into adults through initiation rites. Taking girls' passage into womanhood as her topic, Kratz considers dramatic structure, costume, song, ritual space, and the discourse, rhetoric, and poetics of ceremonial performance.
