From Cosmogony to Exorcism in a Javavese Genesis: The Spilt Seed - Oxford Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Headley, Stephen C. (Charge de Recherche, Charge de Recherche, Centre National de Recherche Scientifique, Paris)
Stephen Headley translates and studies a Javanese ritual and myth, the birth of the man-eating demon, Kala. He shows that this genesis myth, with its movement from cosmogony to exorcism, constitutes the basis of networks of circulating values in contemporary Javanese society.
