Thanks to Mary Douglas the ritual can be conceived as a symbolic action that shapes and gives order to the human experience. Amongst the contemporary rituals the consumption rituals have assumed a very important role in the management of meanings, particularly in the case of the passages occurring in individual and collective life.
