First published in 1973, Rules and Meanings is an anthology of
works that form part of Mary Douglas' struggle to devise an
anthropological modernism conducive to her opposition to reputedly
modernizing trends in contemporary society. The collection contains
works by Wittgenstein, Schutz, Husserl, Hertz and other
continentals. The underlying themes of the anthology are the
construction of meaning, the force of hidden background
assumptions, tacit conventions and the power of spatial
organization to reinforce words. The work serves to complement the
philosophers' work on everyday language with the anthropologists'
theory of everyday knowledge.
