Among the channels of human expression, perhaps the richest of all is music, through which people can express their emotions – in a continuum ranging from joy to grief, from excitement to depression – in a manner that is socially and culturally accessible and acceptable. This book addresses the aspects involved in both producing and listening to music from the point of view of cognitive science. Arguments that might appear hard for non-specialists to understand are addressed in a clear and accessible language. An enthralling itinerary through the various aspects of the human relationship with music that underscores how the long path from the first sounds that man has produced and identified in nature through to the most modern compositions are the result of a process of rationalisation gravitating around the multiform relationship between man, the environment and musical creation.

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. L'ouvrage de Frederico Rosa fait, pour la première fois, l'histoire de ce débat devenu mythique. Son approche, qui contraste avec les tendances postmodernes, prend très au sérieux la vaste bibliographie de la Belle Époque anglaise, française, américaine et germanique traitant du totémisme. D'un nom à l'autre ou au fil des publications d'un même auteur, il dégage les continuités, les ruptures et les interprétations nouvelles. C'est la dramaturgie des idées qui prend ainsi forme, comme dit Patrick Menget dans la préface. Le totémisme, entendu d'abord comme religion du sang que partageaient hommes et animaux, devint aussitôt le prétexte des polémiques les plus acharnées, que l'auteur exhume et éclaire avec le sens du suspense. Le lecteur se prend au jeu, curieux de découvrir comment la parenté et l'anthropologie religieuse se combinent dans le concept stratégique de totémisme, puis se séparent et se transforment. Quant aux autres sciences humaines, elles y trouveront une part de leur histoire, elles aussi, dans la mesure où le débat proprement anthropologique eut d'importantes répercussions sur tous les domaines voisins, de la sociologie et l'histoire des religions à l'archéologie, la philosophie et la psychanalyse.

Lapita comprises an archaeological horizon that is fundamental to the understanding of human colonisation and settlement of the Pacific as it is associated with the arrival of the common ancestors of the Polynesians and many Austronesian-speaking Melanesians more than 3000 years ago. While Lapita archaeology has captured the imagination and sustained the focus of archaeologists for more than 50 years, more recent discoveries have inspired renewed interpretations and assessments. Oceanic Explorations reports on a number of these latest discoveries and includes papers which reassess the Lapita phenomenon in light of this new data. They reflect on a broad range of interrelated themes including Lapita chronology, patterns of settlement, migration, interaction and exchange, ritual behaviour, sampling strategies and ceramic analyses, all of which relate to aspects highlighting both advances and continuing impediments associated with Lapita research.
