Riepilogo:When discussion comes to the notion of transition in the study of religion, people usually first think of authors like Arnold van Gennep and Victor W. Turner whose works relating to rites de passage had decisive influence on theory-building. This essay deals with a theoretician whose works can also be read as contribution to the study of transitions: I mean the Durkheimian Robert Hertz (1881-1915) who was killed in World War I before he could even finish his doctoral dissertation. By way of his articles on the notions of death as well as sin and expiation, Hertz presents a theory of transitions which differs in some central points from the results of van Gennep and Turner. It is the aim of this essay to show these differences, and to present them in the light of Durkheimian sociology of religion and its interpretation by the Collège de sociologie. In addition, it is possible to show, that Hertz links the Durkheimian polarity of sacred and profane with the polarity of individual and society, and how this link is carried out.
