A lot of the stuff I read is like ethnographic studies from the 1960s - or they seem like it - about kingship in Africa (never on a specific country or people). Granted, when searching for "kingship" and "ritual" you get these very dated anthropological studies.

It seems like kingship/ritual is often consigned to these really outdated forms of study (or they should be outdated). STOP MAKING RITUAL WEIRD. It isn't weird. Everyone has rituals.

Are they all in German? Because my academic German is basically non-existent, sadly.
