From Cosmogony to Exorcism in a Javavese Genesis: The Spilt Seed

From Cosmogony to Exorcism in a Javavese Genesis: The Spilt Seed Stephen Headley translates and studies a Javanese ritual and myth, the birth of the man-eating demon, Kala. He shows that this genesis myth, with its movement from cosmogony to exorcism, constitutes the basis of networks of circulating values in contemporary Javanese society. Autor: Stephen C.
