A couple in love, a white dress with veil, a ritual with flowers and a vow: these are some of the images that we link to weddings. But why do we have these ideas regarding weddings? Our imaginations are strongly influenced by different media, such as novels, newspaper articles, films, TV series, images, social media reels, etc. In these media, the ideal wedding is staged, debated and constructed. The actual wedding rituals are as diverse as each cultural-religious context and individual, and underlie complex processes of change, adaptation, tradition and innovation. On a theoretical level, we can link rites of passage with the symbolic transformation of the social status of the individuals-the wedding couple. In the context of the ritual, the everyday world is transcended and socially changed. The basic categories of a society, such as family, gender, status, age, are thereby expressed and formed. This reprint focusses on the interrelations between weddings as rites of passage, their link to religious traditions, their mediatisation and the values as well as norms connected with them. Values and norms in wedding practices are numerous, complex, and interlinked on several levels, notably social, political, cultural, historical, and economic. The papers in this reprint explore this complexity from different perspectives, and the reprint itself presents a dialogue between approaches towards philosophical, historical, sociological and religious studies.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
