This important new work by Roy Wagner is about the autonomy of
symbols and their role in creating culture. Its argument,
anticipated in the author's previous book, "The Invention of
Culture," is at once symbolic, philosophical, and evolutionary:
meaning is a form of perception to which human beings are
physically and mentally adapted. Using examples from his many years
of research among the Daribi people of New Guinea as well as from
Western culture, Wagner approaches the question of the creation of
meaning by examining the nonreferential qualities of symbols--such
as their aesthetic and formal properties--that enable symbols to
stand for themselves.
