SC - Communal cannibalism-OOP

[ana l. valdes]

As I wrote in other occassion, the only "case" documented in modern
Europe was last century, in France, there a young officer was killed and
eaten by the people in a small village in the center of France (40
people participated in this murder/eating). The French historian Alain
Corbin wrote a book aboout it, based in the trial papers. There was this
allegation about China too, the cannibalism as a kind of punishment to
dissidents and the sharing as a kind of "sharing responsability and
strenghten the bounds between people".
And the Catholic communion is a kind of shared meal, and Christus giving
his body and his blood to the believers community is a clear case of
symbolic cannibalism.
But these young people in Sweden was highly sophisticated urban yuppies
and it happened now, two years ago.

Yours
Ana
