"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

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.

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.

Social and cultural anthropology and archaeology are rich subjects with deep connections in the social and physical sciences. Over the past 150 years, the subject matter and different theoretical perspectives have expanded so greatly that no single individual can command all of it. Consequently, both advanced students and professionals may be confronted with theoretical positions and names of theorists with whom they are only partially familiar, if they have heard of them at all. Students, in particular, are likely to turn to the web to find quick background information on theorists and theories. However, most web-based information is inaccurate and/or lacks depth. Students and professionals need a source to provide a quick overview of a particular theory and theorist with just the basics—the "who, what, where, how, and why," if you will. In response, SAGE Reference plans to publish the two-volume Theory in Social and Cultural Anthropology: An Encyclopedia. Features & Benefits: Two volumes containing approximately 335 signed entries provide users with the most authoritative and thorough reference resource available on anthropology theory, both in terms of breadth and depth of coverage. To ease navigation between and among related entries, a Reader's Guide groups entries thematically and each entry is followed by Cross-References. In the electronic version, the Reader's Guide combines with the Cross-References and a detailed Index to provide robust search-and-browse capabilities. An appendix with a Chronology of Anthropology Theory allows students to easily chart directions and trends in thought and theory from early times to the present. Suggestions for Further Reading at the end of each entry and a Master Bibliography at the end guide readers to sources for more detailed research and discussion.
