Abstract
This essay was written within a broader research project on “new theories of
religion”, taking as its starting point the concepts put forward by Wittgenstein,
Eliade, Certeau, Bourdieu, Legendre and Girard. This article seeks to build up an
anthropological framework that aims to comprehend sacred festivities from three
social substrata: the organization of social memory, social regeneration, and the
symbolic construction of community.
