Symbolic process, myth, science, postmodernism and the environment
are skillfully woven together in 13 essays that reflect the timbre
of the times in terms of current issues in anthropology, philosophy
and religion. The spectre of consciousness transformation provides
a common underlying theme and Prattis provides a novel perspective
on "who we are, where did we come from, where are we going". The
current furor over the nature of science, postmodernism and
symbolic processes in society is the driving force behind this
collection of essays. Contents: PART I: Beyond Structuralism; Man
and Metaphor; "Parsifal" and Semiotic Structuralism; PART II: The
Poetic Turn and Postmodern Reflexivity; Dialectics and Experience
in Fieldwork; "Reflections" as Myth; Reflexive Anthropology; (with
D. Blair) Opening Ourselves up to the Voyage of Anthropological
Practice; PART III: Process and Form; Celtic Festivals and
Bilingualism Policy: The Barra Feis; Sacred Dance and Cultural
Bridges; Death Breaths and Drivers: The Phenomenology of Shamanic
Experiences; Metaphor, Vibration and Form; PART IV: Paradigms;
Science and Sages-a Small Matter of Paradigms; PART V: Gaia and the
Environment-Two Essays; Issues of Inner Ecology; Myth, Meditation
and Transformation of Consciousness; About the Author; Author
Index.
