This article presents Arnold Van Gennep’s dynamic structure, suggesting that it depicts phenomena that are both linear and recurring. I elucidate Van Gennep’s structure by closely reading Rites de passage’s penultimate chapter. This chapter, which might seem a mere collection of “leftover” materials, is where Van Gennep’s conceptualization subverts perceptions of structure as a rigid social organization. Here, he does not envision a delimited order, bound by distinct phases of separation, liminality, and aggregation, but rather complexifies these three phases. Van Gennep portrays these phases as repeated beats and pulses, which attain modification and revitalization during events of differentiation and reintegration. This article continues to examine the utility of Van Gennep’s concepts for studying current warfare’s lingering and routinized nature, as an alternative to the study of war through the binary poles of peace and war, order and chaos, and structure and anti-structure. By discussing the 2015 Strategy Doctrine of the Israeli military, I suggest that Rites de passage’s unique formulation of structure allows considering the lingering, cyclical, and ambiguous aspects of current warfare.

重复和重新融入:范热内普的结构和常规化战争

本文介绍了 Arnold Van Gennep 的动态结构,表明它描述了线性和重复出现的现象。我通过仔细阅读 Rites de段落的倒数第二章来阐明 Van Gennep 的结构。本章看似只是“剩余”材料的集合,但正是范热内普的概念颠覆了将结构视为僵化的社会组织的地方。在这里,他没有设想一个被分隔、界限和聚集的不同阶段所束缚的定界秩序,而是将这三个阶段复杂化。Van Gennep 将这些阶段描述为重复的节拍和脉冲,在分化和重新整合的事件中获得修改和恢复。本文继续研究范热内普的概念在研究当前战争的挥之不去和常规化的性质方面的效用,作为通过和平与战争、秩序与混乱、结构与反结构的二元极来研究战争的替代方法。通过讨论以色列军队 2015 年的战略学说,我建议通过仪式独特的结构表述允许考虑当前战争的挥之不去、周期性和模棱两可的方面。
