Abstract

Many opposing theories have been elaborated by different anthropologists in an attempt to explain the nature of symbolism. In this work Nigel Barley uses a particular ethnographic case to examine the relevance and limitations of these existing theories and to develop a new alternative approach which draws on areas of linguistics and folkloristics at one time neglected by symbolic theorists. The book is a detailed study of the symbolic universe of the Dowayos of north Cameroon, as displayed in their ritual and beliefs. Considering matters as diverse as their oral literature, their material culture and their festivals, Dr Barley's analysis develops by unfolding sequentially a map of the symbolic structures that underlie Dowayo culture and shape their apperception of the world about them. This book will be particularly useful for students. It will also interest all anthropologists concerned with the study of symbolism and with the application to anthropology of models derived from linguistics and folklore.

Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique : "Né en 1803 à Bénarès, James Brooke fit ses armes dans la Compagnie des Indes orientales, acheta une goélette avec l'argent légué par son père et devint mercenaire au service du sultan de Brunei pour combattre rebelles et pirates. Il se vit offrir en récompense le Sarawak, territoire de Bornéo où vivaient des coupeurs de têtes invétérés, les Dayaks. Le règne du rajah blanc, qui débuta en 1841, établit la dynastie des Brooke jusqu'en 1946, mais James eut bien du mal à obtenir de l'Angleterre la reconnaissance du Sarawak comme Etat indépendant. Il mourut en 1868 au fin fond du Devonshire, presque oublié des Anglais mais devenu une figure de légende à Bornéo."
