Power and Charm. Interaction of Adolescent Men and Women in Traditional Settings of Transylvania

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 March 2019

Extract

In the mid 1970s, during field research carried out in the villages of Breb and Sîrbi in Maramureş2 (northern Transylvania), I was confronted with a socio-cultural life where rituals and ceremonials centred around birth, puberty, marriage and death had preserved their viability due to the people's belief in their capacity of relating fundamental conceptual values (defining rules of social interaction) to the random present (Karnoouh 1983: 37).
