Abstract

First published in 1973, Rules and Meanings is an anthology of works that form part of Mary Douglas' struggle to devise an anthropological modernism conducive to her opposition to reputedly modernizing trends in contemporary society. The collection contains works by Wittgenstein, Schutz, Husserl, Hertz and other continentals. The underlying themes of the anthology are the construction of meaning, the force of hidden background assumptions, tacit conventions and the power of spatial organization to reinforce words. The work serves to complement the philosophers' work on everyday langua

Abstract

Le totémisme fut l'objet, il y a cent ans, du plus grand débat anthropologique de tous les temps. Cette notion clé de la théorie évolutionniste tomba par la suite en désuétude, en attendant le coup de grâce que lui donna Lévi-Strauss dans Le Totémisme aujourd'hui. Or, elle fut essentielle à l'avènement de l'ethnologie moderne. Des figures comme Franz Boas, Émile Durkheim, Malinowski ou Radcliffe Brown entrèrent en dialogue avec les auteurs évolutionnistes qui avaient lancé la discussion, en particulier l'Écossais James Frazer, auteur du célèbre Rameau d'or. Totemism was the subject, a hundred years ago, of the greatest anthropological debate of all time. This key notion of evolutionary theory subsequently fell into disuse, pending the final blow that Levi-Strauss gave it in Totemism Today. However, it was essential to the advent of modern ethnology. Figures like Franz Boas, Émile Durkheim, Malinowski or Radcliffe Brown entered into dialogue with the evolutionary authors who had initiated the discussion, in particular the Scotsman James Frazer, author of the famous Golden Branch.

Abstract

This volume focuses on key conceptual issues in the social sciences, such as Winch's idea of a social science, structuralism, Malinowski and Evans-Pritchard, and the concept of kinship. In particular it deals with such problems as the relationship of nature and culture, the relevance of concepts drawn from within a given society to its understanding, and the relation of theory to time.
