Description
Summary:Comment in a special journal issue on "Ritual Framing: Gregory Bateson." Strathern and Stewart contrast the static frame as conceived by Gregory Bateson with the dynamic, 'moebius strip' frame as conceived by Don Handelman.

The authors explore this notion as applied to the Female Spirit complex in Hagen society. Adapted from the source document.
