Un classico dell'etnologia. Pochi libri nella storia della scienza hanno mai mostrato tanta aggressività e vitalità quanto questo libro di Sir J G Frazer. opera In 12 volumi, pubblicata tra il 1911 e il 1915 e abbreviata dallo stesso autore nel 1922. L'impostazione teoretica, l'ideologia e la tensione morale che contiene il libro certamente non appartengono al nostro tempo. Perciò può essere definito un classico. Frazer non ama il magico, maneggia con insolenza il mondo dei primitivi torvo e demoniaco, la sua prosa rimane elegante e civilissima esorcizza l'atroce fascino dei riti disperati e crideli, ma offre un accesso umano e agevole a quell'oscuro intrigo di miti, favole, angosce e speranze, opera tradotta in immagini e gesti collettivi che ancora alimenta la nostra esistenza. Esta obra está considerada como una de las grandes investigaciones sobre mitología y semiología del siglo XX. Al investigar para ella, Frazer, uno de los primeros en intentar sistematizar científicamente el mundo de la magia, descubrió el origen de muchas costumbres aún vigentes en los pueblos occidentales a través del estudio de las costumbres de otras culturas. El resultado fue un estudio de mitología comparada que ha tenido mucha influencia en la antropología, el arte y la literatura desde que se publicó por primera vez en 1890. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This work by Sir James Frazer (1854-1941) is widely considered to be one of the most important early texts in the fields of psychology and anthropology. At the same time, by applying modern methods of comparative ethnography to the classical world, and revealing the superstition and irrationality beneath the surface of classical culture, and also by examining Christianity using the same techniques, it was extremely controversial. Frazer was greatly influenced by E. B. Tylor's Primitive Culture (also reissued in this series), and by the work of the biblical scholar William Robertson Smith, to whom the first edition is dedicated. That edition, reissued here, was published in two volumes in 1890; the third edition, greatly enlarged to twelve volumes, and published between 1911 and 1915, is also available in this series. Volume 2 pursues the motif of human sacrifice through the mythology and practices of other cultures. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
