The rites of passage

Book • 1909
In 'The Rites of Passage', Arnold van Gennep systematically analyzes ceremonies marking an individual's transition from one social status to another.

He identifies a common three-part structure: separation, liminality, and incorporation.

This work has profoundly influenced anthropology, sociology, and religious studies by providing a framework for understanding ritual and transition across cultures.
