"The main thrust of this book is to deliver a major critique of materialist and rationalist explanations of social and cultural forms, but the in the process Sahlins has given us a much stronger statement of the centrality of symbols in human affairs than have many of our 'practicing' symbolic anthropologists. He demonstrates that symbols enter all phases of social life: those which we tend to regard as strictly pragmatic, or based on concerns with material need or advantage, as well as those which we tend to view as purely symbolic, such as ideology, ritual, myth, moral codes, and the like. . . ."—Robert McKinley, Reviews in Anthropology

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Ethnologie / Volkskunde, Note: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (Institut für Ethnologie und Afrikastudien), Veranstaltung: Geschichte der Ethnologie II - Symbolforschung, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Im Symbolismus gibt es keinen Code, keine Bedeutung und keine Symbole!“ So oder so ähnlich könnte man zugespitzt die provokantesten Thesen in Sperbers Buch „Le symbolisme en général – Rethinking symbolism“ formulieren. In der Tat geht es Sperber in erster Linie darum, einige der Grundannahmen bisheriger Symbolismus-Theorien, insbesondere des semiologischen Konzepts, in Frage zu stellen. Er greift hierzu einige der bekanntesten Theorien auf, jeweils unter dem Gesichtspunkt der von ihm kritisierten Konzepte von „Bedeutung“, „Symbolismus als Code“, „Symbolismus als Aneinanderreihung von Symbolen“, und versucht anhand dessen aufzuzeigen, worin er die Schwächen bzw. Fehler der Theorien sieht. Ausgehend von seiner Kritik an den bisherigen Theorien, entwickelt Sperber dann sein eigenes Konzept zur Analyse symbolischer Phänomene. Im folgenden sollen sowohl Sperbers Kritik als auch seine eigene Theorie und ihre eventuellen Schwächen dargestellt werden. Dazu soll außerdem der Beitrag Streckers zur Symbolismus-Forschung herangezogen werden, der Sperber an einigen wichtigen Stellen kritisiert, ohne jedoch dessen Theorie völlig zu verwerfen, sondern vielmehr indem er einige Lücken bei Sperber aufzeigt und versucht, diese zu ergänzen bzw. die Theorie in gewisser Weise weiterzuentwickeln und zu verbessern.

This book is a selection of papers from a conference which took place at the University of Keele in July 1982. The conference was an extraordinarily enjoyable one, and we would like to take this opportunity of thanking all participants for helping to make it so. The conference was intended to allow scholars working on different aspects of symbolic behaviour to compare findings, to look for common ground, and to identify differences between the various areas. We hope that it was successful in these aims: the assiduous reader may judge for himself. Several themes emerged during the course of the conference. Some of these were: 1. There is a distinction to be made between those symbol systems which attempt, more or less directly, to represent a state of affairs in the world (e. g. language, drawing, map and navigational skill) and those in which the representational function is complemented, if not overshadowed, by properties of the symbol system itself, and the systematic inter-relations that symbols can have to one another (e. g. music, mathematics). The distinction is not absolute, for the nature of all symbolic skills is, in part, a function of the structure of the symbolic system employed. Nonetheless, this distinction helps us to understand some common acquisition difficulties, such as that experienced in mathematics, where mental manipulation of symbols can go awry if a child assumes too close a correspondence between mathematical symbols and the world they represent. 2.

This book is an ambitious attempt to develop a cognitive approach to religion. Focusing particularly on ritual action, it borrows analytical methods from linguistics and other cognitive sciences. The authors, a philosopher of science and a scholar of comparative religion, provide a lucid critical review of established approaches to religion, and make a strong plea for the combination of interpretation and explanation. Often represented as competitive approaches, they are rather, complementary, equally vital to the study of symbolic systems.

Ideas, Dan Sperber argues, may be contagious. They may invade whole populations. In the process, the people, their environment, and the ideas themselves are being transformed. To explain culture is to describe the causes and the effects of this contagion of ideas. This book will be read by all those with an interest in the impact of the cognitive revolution on our understanding of culture.

This book provides a critical philosophical analysis of the claim that contemporary cognitive approaches to religion undermine theistic beliefs. Recent scientific work into the evolution and cognition of religion has been driven by and interpreted in terms of a certain kind of philosophical and methodological naturalism. The book argues that such naturalism is not necessary for the cognitive study of religion and develops an alternative philosophical and methodological framework. This alternative framework opens the cognitive study of religion to theological and philosophical considerations and clarifies its relationship to other approaches to religious phenomena. This unique contribution to discussions regarding the philosophical and theological implications of the cognitive study of religion summarizes the so far fragmentary discussion, exposes its underlying assumptions, and develops a novel framework for further discussion.
