The New Age in Glastonbury

Více o knize

Focusing on the New Age movement, particularly in Glastonbury, the authors propose a novel theory that examines the contradictions within central anthropological concepts like communitas and individualism. Their research reveals how individuals transitioning from mainstream lifestyles create counter-culture communities. By comparing the Glastonbury New Age movement to tribal shamanistic religions, they highlight significant parallels. The model also extends to explain various social and religious groups, suggesting that they are variations of the Glastonbury phenomenon.
