The word \u201crepresents\u201d, however, does not cover the exact meaning of the act, at least not in its looser, modern connotation; for here \u201crepresentation\u201d is really identification of the event. The rite produces the effect which is then not so much shown figuratively as actually reproduced in the action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allan Kaprow, <em>The Education of the Un-Artist Part II<\/em> (1972)<\/p>\n<p>Allan Kaprow applied the performative potential of rite to contemporary art. The path he inaugurated still needs much exploration. Rites are performative techniques for achieving certain purposes. Our own past and other cultures offer an incredible array of rites we need to re-think in relation to our present circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2- Felicitas D.

Goodman was an anthropologist with a naturalist pratice. That means that, like other extraordinary scholars such as Pierre Verger in Brazil, she didn&#8217;t just study trance phenomena from outside, but she fully immersed herself in these phenomena without judging them from a Western perspective. It is a pleasure to read a scholar who talks to spirits and sees the future with as much ease as she quotes Claude L\u00e9vi-Strauss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3-The Time Machine (1960, George Pal)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M0qR7BiIWJE\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>4-Cargo cults<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tea-tron.com\/quimpujol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/cargo_cults_17.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1446\" alt=\"Cargo Cults of Melanesia\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tea-tron.com\/quimpujol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/cargo_cults_17.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tea-tron.com\/quimpujol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/cargo_cults_17.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.tea-tron.com\/quimpujol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/cargo_cults_17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tea-tron.com\/quimpujol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/cargo_cults_17-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00abA cargo cult is a Melanesian millenarian movement encompassing a diverse range of practices and occurring in the wake of contact with the commercial networks of colonizing societies.
