Praxe, a centuries-old student initiation tradition that combines play, power and submission, continues across Portugal.
In December 2013, six students died on Meco Beach. The tragedy may have been connected to Praxe-an ordeal for students holding senior positions within its hierarchy, in which ritual becomes a form of discipline, and discipline the language of belonging.
In accounts of a ritual known as “Linha do Mar”, students stand blindfolded with their backs to the ocean. For each wrong answer, they take a step backwards-closer to the water. The ritual symbolizes purification through fear and a passage from darkness into light. Ignorance must be left behind in the ocean.
The ritual is said to draw inspiration from Fernando Pessoa’s 'The Hour of the Devil.'
