| 520 | |a This paper concentrates on ceremonial structure, using a semiotic framework to isolate and discuss one of the basic means of creating the cohesion, coordination and significance of ceremonies. Four examples drawn from the initiation ceremonies of Okiek in Kenya are used to illustrate the importance and variety of roles played by iconic signs in ceremonies. Verbal and material icons are included in the examples. Iconic relations are shown to 1) help define the ceremonial frame; 2) create semiotic fields of similarity within which distinction and relations can be made; 3) present an image of continuity and tradition which can serve to perpetuate and legitimate ceremonies and the social relations they represent; 4) define and focus relations which can then be given further significance and elaboration; 5) contribute to the texture and power of ceremonial enactments. | ||
