Recenzje

In this highly innovative study, Dr. Quijada shows that rituals do not just make history, but do so through distinctive genres that come from seemingly contradictory domains: Soviet, shamanic, and Buddhist. By combining ritual studies with insights from linguistic anthropology she illustrates how rhetorical referencing can change an event that has occurred in the past.
