“…Entertaining Kalkal is shown to be a recurrent performance with a schematic structure recognizable to cultural insiders with certain formal and functional features; it symbolically embodies the moral order of the situated interaction as well as the moral order of the larger institution and the Iranian culture that pre-allocate roles and resources to its participants; it is liminal in the sense that the participants go beyond the border between what is perceived to be ordinary and the extraordinary; finally, it arouses the emotions of its participants and audiences.Keywords: kalkal, ritual, moral order, Iranian culture, Dorehami IntroductionWhen we think of a ritual what comes to the mind is often a highly formalized ceremony such as the initiation rites in tribal communities or the tea ceremony in the Japanese culture. Recent developments in interpersonal pragmatics, however, have shown that rituals are not limited to such contexts but are frequently practiced in everyday life (Kádár, 2013, 2017).One of the ubiquitous practices in the Iranian culture is kalkal which can be found in almost every situation from homes, schools and streets to the political arena. …”
