| Abstract: | This is a book about symbolic domination in Cyprus through an analysis of weddings. Its major theme is how wedding celebrations are used by different classes as a means of differentiation. These celebrations evoke idioms of Westernization/modernization and tradition-as-'natural' in a rhetorical opposition that becomes both a means of resistance and legitimation. In so doing Argyrou argues Cypriots do not just reify the West, but constitute themselves as Foucaultian subjects. |
