1st eidtion. Very good copy in the original stiff-card wrappers; edges somewhat nicked and dust-dulled as with age. Remains quite well-preserved overall. Physical description: x, 236 pages; 23 cm. Summary: It is a classical anthropological paradox that symbols of rebirth and fertility are frequently found in funerary rituals throughout the world. The original essays collected here re-examine this phenomenon through insights from China, India, New Guinea, Latin America, and Africa. The contributors, each a specialist in one of these areas, have worked in close collaboration to produce a genuinely innovative theoretical approach to the study of the symbolism surrounding death, an outline of which is provided in an important introduction by the editors. The major concern of the volume is the way in which funerary rituals dramatically transform the image of life as a dialectic flux involving exchange and transaction, marriage and procreation, into an image of a still, transcendental order in which oppositions such as those between self and other, wife-giver and wife-taker, Brahmin and untouchable, birth and therefore death have been abolished. This transformation often involves a general devaluation of biology, and, particularly, of sexuality, which is contrasted with a more spiritual and controlled source of life. The role of women, who are frequently associated with biological processes, mourning and death pollution, is often predominant in funerary rituals, and in examining this book makes a further contribution to the understanding of the symbolism of gender. The death rituals and the symbolism of rebirth are also analysed in the context of the political processes of the different societies considered, and it is argued that social order and political organisation may be legitimated through an exploitation of the emotions and biology.

"Based on research carried out amongst the Kangra hills in northwest India, this study will be welcomed as a major addition to our understanding of social inequality and the nature of caste and kinship. A full account is given of the social structure of the region, emphasizing the continuity of principles which govern relations between castes and relations within castes. In the course of his analysis, the author shows that the boundaries, which mark divisions within the caste, divisions between castes, between "clean" and "untouchable" castes and between men and gods are not of qualitatively different kinds, but are different only in the degree of elaboration and emphasis they receive. Whether between members of different castes or between members of the same household, inequality is axiomatic in almost all dyadic relations and this inequality is expressed in the same idiom throughout. But, as the book goes on to indicate, this hierarchical view of the world is not entirely unqualified. Thus, a rigorous application of hypergamous principles has pragmatic consequences which result in recurrent attempts to undermine the hierarchy within the caste and to make marriages between equals mandatory. This ambivalence is reflected in the notion of "brotherhood" which is at once hierarchical and egalitarian".

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume deals with the way in which money is symbolically represented in a range of different cultures, from South and South-east Asia, Africa and South America. It is also concerned with the moral evaluation of monetary and commercial exchanges as against exchanges of other kinds. The essays cast radical doubt on many Western assumptions about money: that it is the acid which corrodes community, depersonalises human relationships, and reduces differences of quality to those of mere quantity; that it is the instrument of man's freedom, and so on. Rather than supporting the proposition that money produces easily specifiable changes in world view, the emphasis here is on the way in which existing world views and economic systems give rise to particular ways of representing money. But this highly relativistic conclusion is qualified once we shift the focus from money to the system of exchange as a whole. One rather general pattern that then begins to emerge is of two separate but related transactional orders, the majority of systems making some ideological space for relatively impersonal, competitive and individual acquisitive activity. This implies that even in a non-monetary economy these features are likely to exist within a certain sphere of activity, and that it is therefore misleading to attribute them to money. By so doing, a contrast within cultures is turned into a contrast between cultures, thereby reinforcing the notion that money itself has the power to transform the nature of social relationships.
