Across the wide, sun-swept mesas the steel trail of the railroad
runs east and west, diminishing at either end to a shimmering blur
of silver. South of the railroad these level immensities, rich in
their season with ripe bunch-grass and grama-grass roll up to the
barrier of the far blue hills of spruce and pine. The red, ragged
shoulders of buttes blot the sky-line here and there; wind-worn and
grotesque silhouettes of gigantic fortifications, castles and
villages wrought by some volcanic Cyclops who grew tired of his
labors, abandoning his unfinished task to the weird ravages of wind
and weather. In the southern hills the swart Apache hunts along
historic trails o'er which red cavalcades once swept to the
plundering of Sonora's herds. His sires and their flashing pintos
have vanished to other hunting-grounds, and he rides the
boun-daries of his scant heritage, wrapped in sullen imaginings.
..". a remarkable study." . Steven Lukes Time, as we experience it,
is a social and cultural phenomenon. The pioneering study of the
social representation of time was by Henri Hubert (1872-1927).
Hubert was a core member of the group who worked with Emile
Durkheim and a close collaborator with Marcel Mauss. His essay on
time is a good example of the group's originality and
intellectually creative "collective ferment." This is its first
English translation, and includes its review by Mauss."

"Classical Durkheimian Studies of Myth and the Sacred" presents
English translations of several important essays, some never before
translated, by members of the famous Annee sociologique group
around Emile Durkheim. These works by Marcel Mauss, Henri Hubert,
and Robert Hertz are key contributions to today s growing interest
in and reinterpretation of Durkheimian thought on culture,
religion, and symbolism. The central thrust in this new
interpretive effort uses the Durkheimian theory of the sacred to
understand the symbolism and meanings of cultural structures and
narratives more generally. This book is vital to any contemporary
collection emphasizing social theory.Durkheim indicated in "The
Elementary Forms" that the sacred would certainly transform itself
in modernity, although he limited his conjecture as to precisely
how it would do so to some brief remarks on popular political
manifestations of collective effervescence and sacred symbolic
production. Much contemporary work in cultural sociology has made
use of this observation by Durkheim to postulate new manifestations
of the sacred in secular cultural forms. The texts translated here
show how thoroughly such efforts can be rooted in the work emerging
in the original Durkheimian school during its heyday in the first
two decades of the 20th century. "
