The article is devoted to the cultural research of the corporal practices organization in archaic cultures. It was been found that the magical origins of eating practices and tactile ones rooted in initiative rituals. Their basic images transformed into other cultural paradigms, but kept the original connotations of syncretism.
A human in this context acted as a generic being, received a social status through the practice of joining to the generic community. Such community did not know the differentiation of the living and the dead, human and animal or thing. Each technique of the body was intended to accumulate in itself the sacred energy of the consolidation of effort and provided ritual-determined body movements and gestures. An alien was characterized not by the presence of morphological features, but by the lack of a common technique of body.References
