In Myth, Ritual and the Oral Jack Goody, one of the world's most
distinguished anthropologists, returns to the related themes of
myth, orality and literacy, subjects that have long been a
touchstone in anthropological thinking. Combining classic papers
with recent unpublished work, this volume brings together some of
the most important essays written on these themes in the past half
century, representative of a lifetime of critical engagement and
research. In characteristically clear and accessible style, Jack
Goody addresses fundamental conceptual schemes underpinning modern
anthropology, providing potent critiques of current theoretical
trends. Drawing upon his highly influential work on the LoDagaa
myth of the Bagre, Goody challenges structuralist and functionalist
interpretations of oral 'literature', stressing the issues of
variation, imagination and creativity, and the problems of
methodology and analysis. These insightful, and at times
provocative, essays will stimulate fresh debate and prove
invaluable to students and teachers of social anthropology.
