The New Age movement is a twentieth-century socio-cultural
phenomenon in the Western world with Glastonbury as one of its
major centers. Through experimenting with a number of ways of
analyzing this movement, the authors were able to develop a novel
theory of social religious movements of broad applicability. Based
around contradictions relating to such central anthropological
concepts as communitas, egalitarianism, individualism, holism, and
autonomy, it reveals the processes by which, having abandoned a
mainstream lifestyle, people come to build up a counter-culture way
of life. Drawing on their own work on tribal shamanistic religions,
the authors are able to point out interesting similarities between
the latter and the Glastonbury New Age movement. Not only that:
their model allows them to explain such wide-ranging social and
religious movements as the Hutterites, the Kibbutz, and Green
communes. In fact, the authors argue, these movements may be
regarded as variations of the Glastonbury type.
