Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Ritual deposition, often overlooked in the contemporary Western context, is explored through modern practices like roadside memorials and wishing fountains. These folk assemblages, akin to historical rituals involving swords and statuettes, reflect deep-rooted beliefs and symbolisms yet lack the academic recognition they deserve. The book advocates for a reevaluation of these modern deposits, challenging the negative connotation of "ritual litter" and highlighting their significance in cultural heritage.
