This is a very thoughtful and helpful source for my anthropology theory course!
Thanks but the credit goes to Victor Turner :) It's nice that you listened to this because people tend to focus on his (admittedly brilliant) work on ritual.
Oh, that presentation was helpful; I'm reading Turner's "Revelation and Divination in Ndembu Ritual" right now/thanks~
SUPER interesting, thank you!
Thank you too. Turner's theory of liminality is most famous; but I find his other work on symbols equally useful.
Sir could you explain the difference between greets and Turner's approach
I think I address that question in this blog: anthropologyofsymbols.blogspot.com/2017/11/8-symbols-explaining-using-positioning.html
Interesting! Thanks. Can you please explain " importantly for us... they do hunting, men go hunting" Who do you mean by 'us' and why is it important?
Hi Rebecca, thanks for your message. The "us" is probably "us" as anthropologists looking for significance and meanings in a society, but I'd better check. Could you give me the time in the lecture?
@@NicholasHerriman see 4 mins 51, talking about the Ndembu people. Thanks
@@rebeccafox536 Oh I think I should have said "the focus of Turner's essay, and this presentation, is on men's hunting clans not on women on Ndembu society". I would like to read about the different attitudes of women about the men's clans; I hope someone researches that.
Thanks alot! makes me more interested in anthropology!!
