ANTHROPOLOGY SACRAL: RITUALLY-SOCIOLOGICAL ASPECTS
In a circle of the questions put by a ritually-sociological direction of cultural anthropology - what reality is hidden behind a phenomenon «sacred» and why «fear», being the basis «the mechanism on manufacture of transcendence», serves as solving motive during transformation of cultural values? - the author investigates genesis and the nature «sacral», analyzing the concept of «sacrifice» in R. Girard's creativity. The French thinker, overcoming «natural» and «psychoanalytic» traditions in judgement of this phenomenon, does an emphasis on social function of sacrifice. From its point of view, in a basis of cultural dynamics of society the metamorphosis of elements of violence over ritually ordered forms lays, and the phenomenon of constituent violence is a matrix of all mythological and sacral senses. «The victim of remission» sets a vector of transformation of a social reality in a reality transcendental, generating simultaneously as a phenomenon basic reserve and misunderstandings of a source sacral, and inevitability of practice of «ritual».
