The Nacirema people are Americans. In the article " Body Ritual Among The Nacirema ", By: Horace Miner, he explains how what we do as Americans is different when someone puts it in a way that other people may think seem strange.
The Nacirema, a fictional tribe created by anthropologist Horace Miner, serves as a satirical commentary on American culture and its rituals. The Fourth of July, a celebration of American independence, highlights the values of patriotism and social rituals that Miner critiques. By examining the Nacirema's practices, one can draw parallels to how Americans engage in their own cultural rituals, such as fireworks and parades, emphasizing both the absurdities and the deep-seated traditions in society. Thus, the Fourth of July reflects the Nacirema's complex relationship with identity, belief, and cultural expression.
I have to read the 'Body Ritual Nacirema' in my anthropology class, and wrote a brief summary about the article. Is it okay to compare it with American customs?
Nacirema is American spelt backwards. "Body rituals of the Nacerima," was written by Anthropologist Horace Miner to show how different cultures can appear strange if they are not understood. This was a satirical work done in the 1950's about the current American society. Everything listed is what American's do everyday.
It is the Nacirema ritual of brushing your teeth.
