Ritual thinking : sexuality, death, world

by Mario Perniola, Hugh Silverman, Massimo Verdicchio

This study explores the transition between the sacred and the profane, drawing on ancient Roman religion to analyse ritual as a symbolic response to human experience. It examines how modern behaviours function as rituals within a society of simulacra.
