Knots are well known as symbols of moral relationships. This book
develops an exciting new view of this otherwise taken-for-granted
image and considers their metaphoric value in and for moral order.
In chapters that focus on Japan, China, Europe, South America and
in several Pacific Island societies, granular ethnography depicts
how knots are deployed to express unity in daily and ritual
embodiment, political authority and the cosmos, as well as in
social thought. The volume will be of interest to anthropologists
and other scholars concerned with metaphor and symbolism, material
culture and technology.
