Abstract
Violence is a competitive conflict that is characteristic of any living thing. But in human societies, violence is given more complex and diverse cultural symbols. Among them, violence in sports is one of the most apparent representatives. And should violence in sports be curbed? Can such behavior be used as a type of ritual to eliminate the fear of spectators and thus reduce the proportion of violence in real life? Based on the ritual research theory from anthropology, this paper will discuss and analyze the above problems from the perspective of ritual and drama performance. On the basis of combing the relevant research, this paper focuses on interviewing 10 members of a boxing club and watching the competition videos of some professional boxers, which will be the main data of this study. The results of this study demonstrate the correlation between violence and ritual. This study will help to provide new cases for modern ritual research.
