"Signifying Animals" examines what animals mean to human beings
around the world, offering a fresh assessment of the workings of
animal symbolism in diverse cultures. The essays in the book are
based on first-hand field research with peoples as dissimilar as
the Mongolian nomads of Soviet Central Asia, Aboriginal
Australians, Inuit hunters of the Canadian Arctic and cultivators
of Africa and Papua New Guinea.
The essays look at accounts of mythical beasts among the
Amerindian peoples of Andean South America, alleged sightings of an
extinct giant bird in New Zealand as well as the complex symbolism
of the American rodeo. Others discuss animal symbolism in the
Middle East, India and the ancient picts of Scotland. The book
advances a powerful argument against some prevalent fallacies in
symbolic interpretation.
