  • Excerpt from “St Besse

    Open AccessRobert HertzCHAPTERAnthropology of Catholicism2017

    The works of French sociologist Robert Hertz (1881–1915) are now staple readings in general anthropology. This study of the cult of a saint in the Italian Alps is lesser known than Hertz’s celebrated essay on the symbolism of death and sin, “Death and the Right Hand” (1907), yet it remains a model of classic ethnography.
