Where do these changes come from and what is it that makes them possible, what drives them? And, at the same time, we must ask ourselves about their semiotic orientation and direction. Our comparative analysis of old and new rituals reveals differences in four separate orders in which we would like to study in depth. According to our hypothesis, there have been transformations between old and modern rituals in the dimensions of shapes, the rigidness of norms, the limits of the scenario and the sphere of communication. This analysis will allow us to classify the ritual changes in the intra-ritual changes, inter-ritual changes and trans-ritual |
