This work is a critical analysis of Sikh literature from a feminist perspective. It begins with Guru Nanak's vision of Transcendent Reality and concludes with the mystical journey of Rani Raj Kaur, the heroine of a modern Punjabi epic. The eight chapters of the book approach the Sikh vision of the Transcendent from historical, scriptural, symbolic, mythological, romantic, existential, ethical and mystical perspectives. Each of these discloses the centrality of the woman, and show convincingly that Sikh Gurus and poets did not want the feminine principle to serve merely as a figure of speech or literary device; it was intended rather to pervade the whole life of the Sikhs. The present work bolsters the claim that literary symbols should be translated into social and political realities, and in so doing puts a valuable feminist interpretation on a religious tradition which has remained relatively unexplored in scholarly literature.

How might we transform a folk category — in this case, religion — into an analytical category suitable for cross-cultural research? In addressing that question, this book critically explores various approaches to the problem of conceptualizing religion for scholarly purposes, particularly with respect to certain disciplinary interests of anthropologists. The author argues that the most plausible analytical strategy can be based on the idea of family resemblances, especially as that idea has been used and developed in contemporary prototype theory. In the solution proposed, religion is conceptualized as an affair of 'more or less' rather than a matter of 'yes or no,' and no sharp line is drawn between religion and non-religion.

Le 8 Mars 1890, au Trinity College de Cambridge, un ethnologue de trente-six ans, James George Frazer, achève et signe la préface de l’œuvre en deux volumes à laquelle il travaille depuis le printemps précédent. Cette première version du Rameau d’Or sera, comme on sait, suivie de plusieurs autres, qui porteront cette « étude séparée » sur « la règle, jusqu’ici inexpliquée, de la prêtris d’Aricie » aux dimensions monumentales de la troisième édition (1911-1915) en douze volumes. Il nous a semblé intéressant de marquer, par une rencontre scientifique, le centenaire — à quelques mois près — de la première parution du Golden Bough. Moins peut-être pour l’œuvre elle-même qui, après avoir nourri plusieurs générations de chercheurs, s’est trouvée ensuite progressivement délaissée, que pour ce qu’elle représente : l’acte fondateur de l’anthropologie culturelle moderne.
