Summary: | Ritual, dance, song, and other types of ceremonial activities are a significant part of the practice of many of the world's religions. The religion called capitalism, which pervades the modern, westernized business organization, involves similar ceremonies. The symbolic actions of business actors also emanate from the human requirement for the spiritual. Many of these spirit-based symbolic actions are founded in a paternal order, that is, they are distinctively male. Perhaps, the same archetypes that incite poetry create angst enough to inspire the organization of human activity. Perhaps for these reasons, poetry can be seen as implicit to culture as prose is explicit to law. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
