“Rite o passage”, a concept that has been widely used to describe social milestones, meant one step towards a secular view on the ritual studies. Although Van Gennep thought holiness as an essential rite´s object when first enunciating this concept, he gave important instruments to overcome this bound. Henri Junod; Van Gennep´s friend, missionary and ethnographer; uses “tire of passage” to unify his ethnographic descriptions, grasping the secular life. We try to demonstrate that the large application made by Junod of the “rite of passage” concept in his ethnography Life in South African Tribe (published between 1912 and 1913) tensions with his attempt to use the mentalist categories of Tylor, Frazer, Marret and others.Thus, Junod´s work emerges as a important expression of the conflict between Evolucionism and the rising Social Anthropology.
