  Unravelling Ritual: Victor Turner and the problems of exegesis

  Suomen Antropologi: Journal of the Finnish Anthropological Society Volume 33(4) 2008: 62-70

  Abstract

  As a pioneer in the interpretation of ritual, Victor Turner showed us how to
  access other peoples’ deepest understandings about the nature of life. In the
  process, he encountered problems of presentation that ethnographers still have
  to confront. This paper explores Turner’s solutions to these problems, and how
  subsequent authors have modified them.
