Adapting Wittgenstein's concept of the human species as 'a ceremonial animal', Wendy James discusses the conceptual ordering of space, time, and rhythm; the mutualities of language, consciousness, ritual and religious practice; the dialectics of gender and generation; power, war, and peace; and large-scale modern social formations.
