| description | In his seminal work, The Rites of Passage, Arnold van Gennep (1960) described three categories of rituals with successive and distinct moments in ritual time: separation, margin and aggregation. Found in all societies, these rites accompany every change of place, state, social position and age. These rites indicate and constitute transitions between relatively fixed or stable conditions or state (Turner, 1964). The life of an individual in any society according to van Gennep is a series of passages from one state to another i.e. age, occupation. Progression from one group to another are enveloped in ceremonies whose essential purpose is to enable the individual to pass from one defined position to another which is equally well-defined. Since the goal is essentially the same, the rituals of progression share similarities in the sense that they possess the same beginnings and ends. Human life, for instance, is made up of succession of predictable stages from birth, puberty, marriage, parenthood, occupational achievement and death. |
