Place and Thought in a Quechua Household Ritual
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis dissertation presents an interpretation of household rituals in a Quechua-speaking community in the southern highlands of Peru. The interpretation focusses on comparing a ritual pago a la tierra (payment to the earth) to a formal meal which entails social obligations. Several other associations, not consistent with the formal meal, are also presented in the context of formulating a mathematically-based view of the role of figurative meaning in ritual and symbol.
