The Ceremonial Animal: A New Portrait of Anthropology
James, Wendy (Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Oxford, and President, Royal Anthropological Institute)
Adapting Wittgenstein's concept of the human species as 'a ceremonial animal', this book discusses the conceptual ordering of space, time, and rhythm; the mutualities of language, consciousness, ritual and religious practice; the dialectics of gender and generation; power, war, and peace; and large-scale modern social formations, such as the city.
