Tartalmi kivonat:‘Āshūra’ celebrations are nowadays some of the most forceful moments of Shiite community life in Lebanon. ‘Āshūra’ is the commemoration of Imām Husain’s martyr in the Karbalā’ battle (680). This founding event expresses – according to Mussā AL-SADR – ‘the Shiite paradigm of history’. From an anthropologist’s point of view, ‘Āshūra’ festivities are a coherent number of semiotic instruments which the shiite community uses to represent its vision of the world in its main components as well as its fundamental moral values, in scenic form. thus, articles of faith and moral values become a lived experience in the present time through this scenic representation. it is a complex metamorphosis that occurs in the mental experience of the viewers, who then become celebrating actors.
