Ritualized Violence and the Restoration of Community

‘Losing it’ refers to the action of losing control, usually in relation to losing one’s temper. It often implies losing a sense of rationality and control and being overcome by emotion – where the core emotion involved is anger – but it needs to be emphasized that being angry is not equivalent to losing one’s temper. The latter implies that the person is not able to exercise control over their anger, which has taken hold or control over them andwhich then affects their sensibility and behaviour. As a general consensus losing it is not regarded as socially acceptable, especially in public, where it may cause social shame to the person who has lost it, or embarrassment to those around him or her. The person who has lost it may not even be aware that they have done so because they are so caught up in the whirlwind of their emotions and they have, in effect, lost a sense of self, or, to restate, their sense of self has been suspended. When the emotion subsides, a fact that implies that the loss of control is temporary, the individual regains their composure and is restored to a sense of calm. However the damagemay already have been done because, whilst the individual was in this prior state of turmoil, they may have caused or brought about violence.
