Ethnography and Cultural Practices

The documented customs, rites and practices of the world's societies, and the ethnographic studies that record them: life-cycle ritual practice, marriage and alliance practice, exchange and reciprocity practice, religious and ritual practice, and social control and conflict practice. This band groups the atlas's practice entities; it excludes the theoretical frameworks used to interpret a practice, described in their own right under Social Theory and Concepts and linked back here by relationship.
