Oh, that would be a very interesting post! I hope you find the time to write it.
This is what I looooove about systemics. It lets you analyze society, investigate into the meaning of "togetherness" and "individuality". You can dive into traditions and explore what they ment to the individual, to the core family, to the extended family, and to the community. All these "celebrations" had their metaphorical meaning and helped communities share their lives. The process of individualisation, which began during the 19th century as a result of industrialization, separated the core family from the extended family and the community. Thus, some of the traditions died. But the celebrations which survived are extremely powerful, as they give the individual the opportunity to connect to a broader self - to the community and collectivity (I started to sound like a Jungian now :D )
Anyway, I know you are very familiar with all these and you are far more competent at these matters than me, so I will be extremely happy if you write something about traditions - dead or alive! :D
P.S. I hope you find time to watch the videos I sent you. I think they are quite spectacular :)
I am glad I met you here on Steemit, @erh.germany! See you!
