...The example of multiple burials mentioned above shows this structure most clearly. In his analysis of multiple burials by the indigenous Dayak people of Borneo, French sociologist Hertz R. Hertz (1882-1915) revealed that the multiple burials have a staged structure in which the body and soul of the dead and the living move from stability to instability and then back to a certain stability. According to him, in these societies death is not an instantaneous event, but a continuous process that is completed only through a series of rituals. ... From [Right and Left]…The dominance of right-handedness in humans is not due to physiological constraints or functional reasons, but rather to the fluid left-right differentiation that has been fixed by social regulations in order for members of society to share the symbolic and spatial differences in meaning between left and right. French sociologist Robert Hertz argues that the social regulation of right-handedness originates from religious dualism (polarity) between the sacred and the profane, or pure and impure. Indeed, there are many religious cultures that value the opposition between right and left, with the right being pure/good and the left being impure/evil. … *Some of the terminology that mentions "Hertz, R." is listed below.
