Proxemics of Fate-Changing Rituals - Spaces and Fates in Csíkszentdomokos

Summary/Abstract: The rites of passage are actually organized around biological events. But since these rites – birth, marriage and death – are fate-defining turns in a person’s life and that of a human community, they are events that generate culture. The individual passes from an earlier stage into another biological, social, spiritual, behavioural, etc. state. These passages also have countless spatial elements, which spiritualise during the rituals and they become regularising and conscience-bearing factors, symbols of expressive culture.
