CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
This edition has appeared almost twenty years after the author's long term residence among western Tamang. It elucidates particular anthropological problems ranging from the specific theretical problem of the analysis of complex ritual systems through the relation of ritual practice and exegetic "myth" to the more general problem of the conceptualization of "Culture" as a coherent, unproblematic object of anthropological reflection.
