#148 | From Sacred to Spectacle - How Culture Traded Ritual For Performance

from Ancient Intelligence · host Anya Shakhmeyster

We’ve experienced a massive cultural shift from a ritual based to performance based society. I use the examples of matrimony and clothing to illustrate this. We’ve traded in ritual matrimony for elaborate weddings as well as appropriate dress for costumes.
