Ritual is presented as a contested ground on which individuals, groups, and political and moral authorities competed for and appropriated political sovereignty. The thesis of the study is that by employing ritual and bodily mnemonics as strategic tools, the forces of order and official morality strove to organize personality structures around a hegemonic value system. Researching three analytical fields-the legal bonds of peace, the emotional economy of ritual, and the building of identity-the book highlights the contents and evolution of ritual reconciliation in diverse cultural contexts in the period between the eleventh and the sixteenth centuries. 410 0$aCultures, beliefs, and traditions ;$vv. 17. 606 $aKissing$xPolitical aspects$zEurope, Western$xHistory 606 $aReconciliation$xPolitical aspects$zEurope, Western$xHistory 606 $aSymbolism in politics$zEurope, Western$xHistory 606 $aRites and ceremonies, Medieval$zEurope, Western 606 $aSocial history$yMedieval, 500-1500 607 $aEurope, Western$xSocial life and customs 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y476-1492 615 0$aKissing$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aReconciliation$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aSymbolism in politics$xHistory. 615 0$aRites and ceremonies, Medieval 615 0$aSocial history 676 $a306.4 700 $aPetkov$b Kiril$f1964-$01090750 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810837003321 996 $aThe kiss of peace$94079948 997 $aUNINA
