NATURAL SYMBOLS

內容簡介

內容簡介 One of the most important works of modern anthropology. Written against the backdrop of the student uprisings of the late 1960s, the book took seriously the revolutionary fervour of the times, but instead of seeking to destroy the rituals and symbols that can govern and oppress, Mary Douglas saw instead that if transformation were needed, it could only be made possible through better understanding. Expressed with clarity and dynamism, the passionate analysis which follows remains one of the most insightful and rewarding studies of human behaviour ever written.

各界推薦

各界推薦 Natural Symbols，是二十世紀現代人類學最重要的作品之一。離首次出版逾三十年，書中預先言中許多知識性的爭論議題，包含個人的社會意義到宗教性的宇宙論。 在１９６０年代，學生運動風潮背景下成書，作者對當時狂熱的學生運動採取嚴肅的態度。但作者Mary Douglas並未嘗試尋找禁止這些象徵性活動的方法，而認為，如果轉變是必要的，應藉由良好的溝通來達成。 藉由清楚澄澈的文體和作者獨到的洞察能力，本書堪稱人類行為學的一代經典大作。
