RE/Search: Modern Primitives: An Investigation of Contemporary Adornment and Ritual
1989
Modern Primitives: An Investigation of Contemporary Adornment and Ritual is an anthropological inquiry into a contemporary social enigma—the increasingly popular revival of ancient human decoration practices such as symbolic/deeply personal tattooing, multiple piercings, and ritual scarification. "Primitive" actions which rupture conventional confines of behaviour and aesthetics are objectively scrutinized. In context of the death of global frontiers, this volume charts the territory of the last remaining underdeveloped source of first-hand experience: the human body.
