Masterful Essays in Symbolic Anthropology,
By
This review is from: Dramas, Fields, and Metaphors: Symbolic Action in Human Society (Symbol, Myth, and Ritual Series) (Paperback)
The role of culture in human societies is explored through a combination of empirical research and the nimble mind and imaginative powers of the late Victor Turner. This collection will prove especially useful to students of comparative religion, social/cultural anthropology, literature, performance, and the visual arts. Turner's essays are far from dry. They thrill with their ability to combine close observations of the "exotic" beliefs of non-Western peoples and cutting edge insights into more familiar cultural dimensions of everyday life in western Europe and the United States.
