Think of the “one fingered salute AKA “the Bird”. Or, in former generations, men removing their hats when a woman entered a room, or getting up from a table, when a woman approached. Nowadays we still see rituals which arose organically an were not imposed by a government or an elite. This can be the “:wave” at a football game, or the celebratory dance performed by a footballer after he has scored a touchdown, or a variation on the handshake, or a bow (some cultures), or a sports related movement (a chop), or an insulting gesture, or a blessing, or respect. Think of the Thai or Cambodian “wai” (hands put together as in Christian prayer), of in some Filpino communities, the hand touched to the forhead in respect. In tradional Irish trading, for example of cattle, the mutual spitting in the hand, to seal a bargain. Cheese seller in Holland and camel sellers in the arab world use hand manipulation, often in code, or under a blanket. Then we have the hug, the fist bump, the high five, a back slap. These seem spontaneous and often random, but they are not. There are specific circumstances when they are required, or acceptable, or unacceptable. For example. You don’t do the “wave” in Church, you don’t dance in the end zone if you just kicked for a field goal, or if you just sacked the QB, ot if yuu scored a TD in the previous quarter. Why not? Rules, rules rules. . .These are derived from the ‘folk” so therefore unwritten and reinforced by peer pressure and ridicule, not laws and regulations. …You can “celebrate in the end zone for 5 seconds, but cannot do a touch down dance for 45 minutes. Why not? .There are rules and nuances. Where and when and who can you hug? Do you hug the bus driver when you get on a bus? Hug a librarian when you get a book? Why not? And why hug a person at funeral, or retirement, birthday party. What are birthday or wedding rituals? (We are NOT referring here to the formal ceremony). What rituals are included in stag parties, Proms, Quinceaneras, This essay requires focus on each element, and an in depth analysis of every nuance. The ritual of gesture may be fleeting, but your task is to delve into its deepest aspects. What precedes it, how exactly is it done, for how long, when and how do they know to stop? . The questions below will give you an idea of how involved a simple gesture might be. This one is well know, Its a “rei” or Japanese bow. It seems very simpler to say “The Japanese bow”. But..once you analyze it, it is extremely complex. Here is just an example. When do they bow, who bows to whom, who bows first, second, last?. When do they not bow? What does a bow mean? What does a refusal mean?. What precedes and follows a bow?. What angle is a bow or does it vary? How deep? Does the angle/depth vary if bowing to a group? SDo people bow to each person in the grop separately? Where do the eyes go? What does the bower look at? Smile or no smile? How many bows in a row? When do they stop? When is a “new bowing period” sensed? What about a toast? What about after a performance? How do they know when to bow when abroad? Does a Japanese expect a westerner to bow? Do they bow to westerners? Do they bow individually, when meetimg s guest or in groups. How do they know when to start, at what distance or signal? Do they bow only to people, or to objects such as flags or temples? are there different rules for men vs. women, rich vs. poor? Now think of hugging, backslapping, waving goodbye or hello, and hundreds of rituals and gestures (not ceremonies) in any culture.
