The anthropology of the Churchill funeral f by EDMUND LEACH
Provost of King's College and Reader in Social Anthropology in the University of Cambridge
For a few hours the Great British Public had mourned itself into fairyland.
We are prepared to cast a dispassionate eye on the ritual occasions of primitive tribes. To stand back &nd reflect anthropologically on our own is another matter.
Will there ever be another event like the Churchill funeral? If not, is this a bad thing, or a good? If the dead Churchill focused deep feelings in our society, what image of us does his last journey mirror?
