Who preceded whom? Who wore what? Which form of address should one use? One of the most striking aspects of the early modern period is the crucial significance that contemporaries ascribed to such questions. In this hierarchical world, status symbols did not simply mirror a pre-defined social and political order; rather, they operated as a key tool for defining and redefining identities, relations, and power. Centuries later, scholars face the twofold challenge of evaluating status interaction in an era where its open pursuit is no longer as widespread and legitimate, and of deciphering its highly sophisticated and often implicit codes. Status Interaction during the Reign of Louis XIV addresses this challenge by investigating status interaction - in dress as in address, in high ceremony and in everyday life - at one of its most important historical arenas: aristocratic society at the time of Louis XIV. By recovering actual practices on the ground based on a wide array of printed and manuscript sources, it transcends the simplistic view of a court revolving around the Sun King and reveals instead the multiple perspectives of contesting actors, stakes, and strategies. Demonstrating the wide-ranging implications of the phenomenon, macro-political as well as micro-political, this study provides a novel framework for understanding early modern action and agency.

Braid – A unisex jewelry collection by Orrifinn Jewels Humans have made braids for thousands of years. In the past, the braid was a means of communication, worn to express status, membership of the tribe, or as a sign of marriage. Often they have been invested with great meaning. For Native Americans they are a symbol of oneness and harmony, and each lock is thought of as the past, the present and the future. Children still braid bracelets for each other as a token of friendship and generosity, and a braided lock of hair is often kept as a memento – whether of childhood or first love. The Braid is a symbol of unity, a keepsake for preserving tender memories and an expression of love. Take your jewellery off if you're involved in any activity which could scratch, knock or bend it. Much bending of metals can cause cracks that can end up with breaking. Metals can be worn in water but can change colour in geothermal water or water with high levels of minerals or oxides (sulfur). Cleaning the metals is not necessary unless you feel they have lost their shine. Then we recommed using a jewelry polishing cloth to rub off the tarnish. Please avoid using liquid jewelry cleaners as they can be toxic. Pearls are especially sensitive. Jewelry with pearls should not enter pool water (with chlorine), should not be in direct sunlight for long and should never be put in liquid jewelry cleaners.

In The Ritual Process: Structure and Anti-Structure, Victor Turner examines rituals of the Ndembu in Zambia and develops his now-famous concept of "Communitas." He characterizes it as an absolute inter-human relation beyond any form of structure. The Ritual Process has acquired the status of a small classic since these lectures were first published in 1969. Turner demonstrates how the analysis of ritual behavior and symbolism may be used as a key to understanding social structure and processes. He extends Van Gennep's notion of the "liminal phase" of rites of passage to a more general level, and applies it to gain understanding of a wide range of social phenomena. Once thought to be the "vestigial" organs of social conservatism, rituals are now seen as arenas in which social change may emerge and be absorbed into social practice. As Roger Abrahams writes in his foreword to the revised edition: "Turner argued from specific field data. His special eloquence resided in his ability to lay open a sub-Saharan African system of belief and practice in terms that took the reader beyond the exotic features of the group among whom he carried out his fieldwork, translating his experience into the terms of contemporary Western perceptions. Reflecting Turner's range of intellectual interests, the book emerged as exceptional and eccentric in many ways: yet it achieved its place within the intellectual world because it so successfully synthesized continental theory with the practices of ethnographic reports." The American Anthropologist called Turner's book "ingenious and erudite, rich in highly stimulating ideas."
