- W811522035 abstract "The link between purity and power in African systems of ideas can be direct: one may lose one’s (ritual) power, for example, the ability to utter a potent curse or an efficient blessing, by not maintaining a standard of purity, for example by violating a food avoidance rule. Social hierarchies between clans with and without specific ritual or political powers and between professional groups of high and low status are constructed along such lines. In other contexts, the relationship between purity and power is not direct but mediated by moral notions: ritual compliance is seen as an indicator of a moral standard that qualifies a person for political power. Conversely, non-compliance leads to exclusion from power. Competition for the forms of power, which are legitimised in this way, may lead to the rapid rigidification of beliefs and ritual practice. Examples can be found in recent developments within Islam and Christianity. Purity tends to go along with rhetorical exclusion of the “impure”. 1 Gunther Schlee, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, PO Box 11 03 51, 06017 Halle/Saale, Germany, Tel.: +49-345-29 27 100, Fax: +49-345-29 27 102, Email: schlee@eth.mpg.de This paper was presented at the Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology, University of Ljubljana, May 2003.
