Sacred Ties: Wedding Ceremonies Through Anthropological Lens
商品資訊
商品簡介
In "Sacred Ties," readers are taken on a captivating journey across the globe, exploring the myriad ways in which societies come together to celebrate the union of two individuals. Through a careful anthropological lens, the book delves deep into the rituals, symbols, and traditions that form the bedrock of wedding ceremonies from various cultures and epochs.
The narrative begins with an overview of what constitutes a wedding ceremony and the fundamental elements common across diverse societies. As the pages turn, readers are introduced to the rich tapestry of wedding traditions - from the vibrant celebrations in Indian villages to the serene and solemn vows exchanged in a Japanese shrine.
"Sacred Ties" doesn't merely describe these ceremonies but seeks to understand the cultural, social, and historical contexts that birthed them. Why do certain societies emphasize the role of dowries, while others focus on elaborate dances? How have colonialism, migration, and globalization influenced contemporary wedding practices?
In addition to large-scale celebrations, the book gives voice to lesser-known, almost arcane wedding traditions, painting a comprehensive picture of humanity's undying commitment to forming sacred bonds. The narrative also touches upon the evolution of wedding ceremonies in the face of modern challenges, such as the push for LGBTQ+ rights.
Complete with expert commentary, "Sacred Ties" offers readers a chance to appreciate the depth and diversity of human expressions of love and commitment. It's a testament to the universal human yearning to connect, celebrate, and consecrate the bonds of love.
