Rites de passage në një shqyrtim analitik

Abstract

This article comes as an aim for defining rite as a concept. Working on the bibliography, we thought tthat it would be useful to concentrate on the concept of rites de passage, as a key concept that first has been articulated by Arnold van Gennep and then from Victor Turner and Roland Grimes. Also we confront ideas, classifications and aspects of ritual studies in the Albanian context. For reaching to the point we take in consideration scholars as Qemal Haxhihasani, Rrok Zojzi, Mark Tirta, Nebi Bardhoshi and Olsi Lelaj. After confronting and analysing ideas we propose a form of ritual clasification as we find rite today in Albania.
