Nigel Barley se l'était juré : cette fois on ne l'y reprendrait plus. Son premier séjour chez les Dowayos du Cameroun l'avait lessivé. Et pourtant, lorsqu'il apprend que ces montagnards vont reprendre une très ancienne cérémonie de circoncision, il repart aussitôt. Préparé au pire, cette fois, avec ses provisions de christmas pudding et de cheddar. Ce qui va lui arriver dépassera bien sûr tout ce qu'il avait pu imaginer, mais au moins rapportera-t-il de ce voyage un récit d'une extraordinaire cocasserie, comme tous les livres du plus drôle des conservateurs du British Museum.

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.
