關於本電子書
Ritual Stone Uses explores the fascinating and widespread phenomenon of humans imbuing stones with ritual significance across various cultures and throughout history. It examines how ordinary geological objects transform into powerful symbols deeply embedded in social structures and belief systems. The book highlights the diverse ceremonial applications of stone, ranging from monumental constructions, like Stonehenge, to smaller, personally significant objects and explores the varying interpretations and symbolic meanings ascribed to stone, revealing cultural specificity within global patterns. This anthropological study argues that ritual stone use isn't a primitive practice, but a sophisticated expression of human creativity and worldview. By analyzing recurring patterns and unique variations in how societies use stone in rituals, the book demonstrates these practices play a critical role in reinforcing social cohesion and mediating between the human and supernatural realms.
The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework to examining case studies from regions around the world. Drawing from archaeological findings, ethnographic accounts, and historical texts, the book provides a holistic understanding of ritual stone uses. It offers a fresh analytical approach, combining anthropological methods with techniques in spatial analysis and digital humanities. What sets this book apart is its comparative approach and emphasis on the dynamic interplay between material objects, human agency, and cultural context within religious studies.
