Двете хроматични двойки от първичната триада през архаиката по Виктор Търнър
Victor Turner’s Two Chromatic Pairs in the Primary Triad through the Archaic

Summary/Abstract: In his book Symbol and Ritual (1967), Victor Turner demonstrates how archaism, and particularly the rituals of tribal society, are able to explain some aspects of social processes in modern Western societies. With regard to the discussion on colors in the book, of specific interest is the derived primary chromatic triad (white-black-red), presented as pairs of dyads combined with an invisible third member. In Vedantic Hinduism, Turner finds a similar symbolic functioning in the color-guni relation. He thus expands the temporal continuum (from the Archaic period to the Middle Ages), supplementing it with a spatial continuum, that of ancient Eastern culture, which corresponds geographically to the Far and Middle East. The three most ancient colors (white, black and red) are thus analytically deduced and harnessed in the two dimensions.
