The book takes as its focus the nostalgic and violent Gisalo ceremony, one of the most remarkable performances in the anthropological literature. Tracking the major symbolic and emotional themes of the ceremony to their sources in everyday Kaluli life, Schieffelin shows how the central values and passions of Kaluli experience are governed by the basic forms of social reciprocity. However, Gisaro reveals that social reciprocity is not limited to the dynamics of transaction, obligation and alliance. It emerges, rather, as a mode of symbolic action and performative form, embodying a cultural scenario which shapes Kaluli emotional experience and moral sensibility and permeates their understanding of the human condition.CultureSocial policyRaceEthnologyHuman rightsSociology of CultureSocial PolicyRace and Ethnicity StudiesSociocultural AnthropologyHuman RightsCulture.Social policy.Race.Ethnology.Human rights.Sociology of Culture.Social Policy.Race and Ethnicity Studies.Sociocultural Anthropology.Human Rights.305.89/912Schieffelin Edward L1791775MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910970553403321The Sorrow of the Lonely and the Burning of the Dancers4329569UNINA
