The Secret of the Totem: Religion and Society from McLennan to Freud

The Secret of the Totem: Religion and Society from McLennan to Freud
by Robert Alun Jones

# Hardcover: 360 pages
# Publisher: Columbia University Press (August 16, 2005)

"An invaluable contribution to our grasp of an infamous episode in the history of the human sciences, Jones's comprehensive survey of the major players in the totemism controversy is unparalleled." -- Ivan Strenski, Holstein Family and Community Professor, University of California, Riverside, author of Contesting Sacrifice: Religion, Nationalism, and Social Thought in France

"For Frazer, Freud, Durkheim, and Malinowski, totemism was central in their efforts to describe the earliest stages of humanity's religious and social evolution. Jones's beautifully written study is easily the best analysis of this important chapter in the history of anthropology." -- Robert Ackerman, author of J. G. Frazer: His Life and Work

Derrida - Given Time: I. Counterfeit Money

Given Time: I. Counterfeit Money
by Jacques Derrida (Author)
Peggy Kamuf (Translator)

Paperback: 182 pages
Publisher: University Of Chicago Press (September 1, 1994)

Is giving possible? Is it possible to give without immediately entering into a circle of exchange that turns the gift into a debt to be returned? This question leads Jacques Derrida to make out an irresolvable paradox at what seems the most fundamental level of the gift's meaning: for the gift to be received as a gift, it must not appear as such, since its mere appearance as gift puts it in the cycle of repayment and debt.

Derrida reads the relation of time to gift through a number of texts: Heidegger's Time and Being, Mauss's The Gift, as well as essays by Benveniste and Levi-Strauss that assume Mauss's legacy. It is, however, a short tale by Baudelaire, "Counterfeit Money," that guides Derrida's analyses throughout. At stake in his reading of the tale, to which the second half of this book is devoted, are the conditions of gift and forgiveness as essentially bound up with the movement of dissemination, a concept that Derrida has been working out for many years.

For both readers of Baudelaire and students of literary theory, this work will prove indispensable.

Signifying Identities: Anthropological Perspectives On Boundaries

Signifying Identities - Anthropological Perspectives On Boundaries

Signifying Identities examines the ways in which relations between national, ethnic, religious and gender groups are underpinned by each group's perceptions of their distinctive identities and of the nature of the boundaries which divide them. Questions of frontier and identity are theorized with reference to the Maori, Australian aborigines and Celtic groups. The theoretical arguments and ethnographic perspectives presented in these essays place this collection at the cutting edge of contemporary anthropological scholarship on identity, with respect to the study of ethnicity, nationalism, localism, gender and indigenous people.
