In 2016, Edith Turner passed away. She left behind an intellectual
legacy that, together with her husband, Victor Turner, transformed
modern anthropology. This edited collection focuses on Victor and
Edith Turner's significant theoretical contributions, including
their work on communitas, liminality, pilgrimage, friendship,
fieldwork, self-reflection, affective culture, religion, spirits,
and faith. This collection includes retrospectives on the personal
lives of Edith and Victor, as provided by their son; a close look
at Edith's work on last rites, for which she studied and
contemplated her own demise; an examination of Edith's faith and
belief system in light of her personal research interests; and
contemporary applications of the Turners's theories in relation to
modern social processes. Contributors touch on a variety of topics,
including current political upheavals and inversions, the values of
friendship and bonding, the importance of music as affective
culture, jazz as a pilgrimage, and deeper theoretical issues
surrounding the concept of liminality. This work illustrates the
Turners' enduring theoretical and affective contributions and
emphasizes the great importance they placed on studying and
understanding what it means to be human. We continue to learn from
their example.
