About this title:
Synopsis: Heads of state today mark their rites of passage with splendid ceremonial, from Reagan's inaugural to Andropov's funeral. Such spectacles continue to be a prominent part of modern political systems, of varied ideological hue, but their precise meaning and importance often remain unclear. These specially commissioned essays address the central problem in the understanding of royal rituals, the relation between power and ceremonial. These contributions, from historians and anthropologists, examine a wide range of societies.
Book Description: Comprised of contributions from historians and anthropologists, this collection of essays examines a wide range of societies in an analysis of the relationship between power and ceremony as expressed through the observance of royal rituals from ancient to contemporary times.
