the Talmud, books containing Jewish laws, to 13 years as the age of majority (Mail, 1997). In providing further context, Mail (1997) references ethnographer Arnold Van Gennep, author of The Rites of Passage, stating “… three successive and distinct moments in the occurrence of rites of passage: separation, liminality, and aggregation. Van Gennep would describe the start of instruction and preparation for Bar/Bat Mitzvah as commencing the separation between childhood and maturity…the

seduction after Tourism and the Power of Otherness: Seductions of Difference (2014) from Di Giovine and Picard. Dynamics of relations between pilgrimage and seduction are scrutinized elaborately in the book. It is obvious that we owe too much to Arnold van Gennep (1960) and Turners (1978). However, it seems there is still something left to be explained properly. While Turners grasp pilgrimage within one overarching discourse, for instance, contemporary forms of pilgrimage and worship necessitate drawing

Rites of passage according to Arnold Van Gennep (1960) are experiences of transition that represent growth in life which can be divided into; rites of separation, in which the individual is divorced from their familiar environment, rites of transition, in which the old identity is destroyed

of passage, a theory said by Arnold Van Gennep, the reductionist theory, the cognitive and effective belief by Gombrich, and the Habitus theory by Pierre Bourdieu, were some of the theories identified in the film. When looking at these particular events in the film, this film essentially underlies how religion can be in non-religious things, which would include movies. In this film, Harry Potter experiences the three stages of the rite of passage by Arnold Van Gennep. In the first stage, separation

In addition the rite of passage model by Arnold van Gennep to support the message of the film. It can also be understood through the characters’ action and expressions that in life good will always overcome evil. This have been analyzed by Roland Barthes’ idea that the use of texts work on different

The Rites of Passage and Liminality Originally developed by anthropologist Arnold van Gennep in the early 20th century in his book Rites de Passage, the term liminality refers to the concept in which participants are in the threshold stage of disorientation and suspension from the previous social norm that they were used to. When an individual goes through a rite of passage—also coined by van Gennep—he is cut off from his “old life” and is born again into a new person. However, before he can fully

rituals practiced by the followers joined them in societal oneness. He did not believe that God created people but that people created the idea of God for social and moral order. (Jeffery Brodd, 2016,2013 by Oxford University Press, pp. 9,10,444) Arnold Van Gennep William James is a very interesting person I wasn’t able to find anything online or in a book saying he does really believe in God but rather that if there is a higher power than we would have a personal

the classroom, faculty can facilitate a learning environment that fosters academic involvement, both in and out of the classroom. (Tinto, 1997). Tinto supports his theory with Alexander Astin's Theory of Involvement (1975), anthropologist Arnold van Gennep and his concept of "The Rites of Passage" (1960), and sociologist Emile Durkheim's Theory of Suicide (1951). Astin states that the more a student is involved, the better they should perform academically. While social involvement and affiliation

In order to truly assess the legitimacy of Durkheim 's functionalist definition of religion, his notion of Social facts, (upon which his theory is constructed) must be examined. Durkheim advocated that amongst the reputable fields of biology, psychology and history, Sociology also warranted a specific focus. It was, for him: a 'sui generis ' "something that had to be explained on its own terms". Sociology was not, for Durkheim, a field that should be susceptible to overlapping subject matter: he
