«Prey Into Hunter: The Politics of Religious Experience» is Maurice Bloch's anthropological essay: paperback, Cambridge University Press, 131 pages.
Theory of ritual: ceremonies in many societies deny the transience of life through the symbolic sacrifice of participants to incorporate them into a transcendent entity. This symbolic violence ranges from mutilations to animal sacrifices and also extends to exogamous marriage; the book links it to political violence.
The work belongs to the Lewis Henry Morgan Lectures series, with a foreword by Alfred Harris. English edition of 1991.
For readers interested in social anthropology, comparative religion, and ritual theory.
