Description The ultimate goal of my project is to explain why different rituals use different bodily position and how can those positions influence the outcome of a ritual. In more concrete way I am trying to find out if and how the bodily positions influence feelings, emotional states and self-perceptions. First bodily position to be examined is kneeling. This position is used in many variations in different rituals, but in any context it is linked with subordination, humility and submission.
