Download or read book Wedding as Text written by Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-12-18 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wedding serves as the beginning marker of a marriage; if a couple is to manage cultural differences throughout their relationship, they must first pass the hurdle of designing a wedding ceremony that accommodates those differences. In this volume, author Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz documents the weddings of 112 couples from across the United States, studied over a 10-year period. She focuses on intercultural weddings--interracial, interethnic, interfaith, international, and interclass--looking at how real people are coping with cultural differences in their lives. Through detailed case studies, the book explores how couples display different identities simultaneously. The concepts of community, ritual, identity, and meaning are given extensive consideration. Because material culture plays a particularly important role in weddings as in other examples of ritual, food, clothing, and objects are given special attention here. Focusing on how couples design a wedding ritual to simultaneously meet multiple--and different--requirements, this book provides: *extensive details of actual behavior by couples; *an innovative format: six traditional theoretical chapters, with examples integrated into the discussion, are matched to six "interludes" providing detailed descriptions of the most successful examples of resolving intercultural differences; *a methodological appendix detailing what was done and why these decisions were made; and *a theoretical appendix outlining the study's assumptions in detail. Wedding as Text: Communicating Cultural Identities Through Ritual is a distinctive study of those who have accepted cultural difference into their daily lives and how they have managed to do so successfully. As such, it is suitable for students and scholars in semiotics, intercultural communication, ritual, material culture, family communication, and family studies, and will be valuable reading for anyone facing the issue of cultural difference.

This book will help couples learn more about each other's faiths and family mindset, freeing them to create a wedding that truly blesses their married life. Reverend Brockway explains her motivation to write this text: "This book was a very personal mission for me. As an interfaith minister, I deal with so many diverse couples, from so many different backgrounds, but the common denominator with all couples boils down to love. So the book focuses on celebrating the love between the couple as the most important part of the ceremony, and weaves in honoring family, cultures, and traditions in a way that is personally meaningful to the couple." Contains insights shared by brides and grooms, interviews and information from other attributed sources, as well as special contributions from Rev.

Book Synopsis The Wedding Report by : Hans-Jürg Suter
Download or read book The Wedding Report written by Hans-Jürg Suter and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1993-09-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional text types (or genres) are complex linguistic, sociocultural and cognitive phenomena that can only be analysed in flexible interdisciplinary frameworks fusing structural and process-oriented approaches and combining quantitative description with qualitative interpretation and evaluation. The theoretical and methodological implications of the prototypical text type concept which is developed in this book are explored in an exhaustive case study of a representative (ie prototypical) genre: the wedding report, a conventional type of news report published in local English newspapers. The distinctive contextual and textual features — situational context, text production processes, function, thematic structure, and form on the macro- and microlevel — are analysed synchronically and diachronically. The linguistic findings are integrated into a comprehensive view of the interplay between the genre as a linguistic frame and its sociocultural context. The study puts special emphasis on addressing the methodological problems arising from the inherent fuzziness of traditional text types, and can thus serve as a detailed working model of genre analysis, designed to be adapted to the specific requirements of similar studies.
