Description

Explore the complex relationship between authority and tradition in The King's Three Bodies: Essays on Kingship and Ritual. Published by Routledge, this scholarly collection examines how rituals define royalty across diverse global landscapes, including India, Africa, and Europe. Through social anthropological and ethnohistorical lenses, the text investigates the connections between rituals performed by and for various rulers. This includes an analysis of "little kings" and "jungle kings" and how their ceremonies sit within wider political, religious, and economic frameworks. Readers will find a deep investigation into how these practices are embedded in specific historical and cultural contexts. The first part of the book offers a unique triangular comparison of kingship, looking at the Shilluks of East Africa, the Gajapatis of eastern India, and kings during the Renaissance in France. This book serves as a significant resource for students and researchers interested in the social sciences and the historical study of power and ritual.
