The point of departure is Collins's interpretation of Durkheim's approach. We rework Collins's analysis in terms of self-evaluation theory and develop a detailed description of several processes through which ritual is reproductive of the legitimation of a society's stratification system. In keeping with the critical character of self-evaluation theory, we show how ritual can also play an important role in the delegitimation of stratification and the promotion of egalitarian norms. }, number={1}, journal={Sociological Perspectives}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Della Fave, L.

 @article{della fave_1987, title={On the Practical Intent of Self-Evaluation Theory: A Rejoinder to Harvey}, volume={30}, ISSN={0731-1214 1533-8673}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/1389186}, DOI={10.2307/1389186}, abstractNote={Professor David Harvey has written a lengthy critique not only of my article but of my entire approach. In it he tries to do several things. First, he presents a capsule summary of his understanding of self-evaluation theory. In doing so he charges that it ignores conflict theory, has a static bias, fails to discuss the role of hegemony in the legitimation-delegitimation process, and fails to show how the social psychological process described by the theory can explain delegitimation. Second, he claims that I have misused Mead's concept of the generalized other, and, as a consequence, the theory lacks explanatory power. Finally, he maintains that self-evaluation theory is based upon "positive social psychology" and, therefore, cannot qualify as a legitimate development within critical theory. These are sweeping indictments, indeed, but I will try to show that he is mistaken in each case. The charge that I have ignored conflict heory is absurd on its face. The article "The Dialectics of Legitimation and Counternorms," which is supposedly the target of Harvey's critical remarks, is based heavily on the work of Weber. It highlights the importance of a fragmentation of power in the ancient Jewish kingdoms and in medieval and early modern Europe that enabled traditions and institutions to develop that had at least some significant egalitarian elements. It pictures the forces favoring and opposing the legitimation of stratification as being engaged in conflict, and prevailing ideologies as resultants of these struggles. While in these struggles there is no guaranteed victory}, number={1}, journal={Sociological Perspectives}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Della Fave, L.
