Cultura e Comunicação: A Lógica da Conexão dos Símbolos

Themes in the Social Sciences

by Edmund Leach, Elisabete Nunes (Translator)

Uma análise concisa das teorias estruturalistas dos fenómenos antropológicos, destinada a esclarecer os conceitos da «semiologia» com base no pressuposto de que os gestos, na comunicação não verbal, apenas adquirem significado como membros de conjuntos, à semelhança do que ocorre com os sons na linguagem falada.

Reviews

[aleks]

okei ma ei lugenud seda tervenisti läbi aga ma kirjutasin selle põhjal oma tekstianalüüsi essee !!

[Tina Estep]

This is a great introduction to the understanding of Structural Anthropology and to understanding the meaning of and relationship between symbols of various cultures and rituals.

[Geku]

This was the basis for my BA thesis, infinitely helpful.

[Bushra]

Finding it difficult to read and to follow through understanding some passages and ideas. Liked some parts of it. Did not like too much technical jargon and mathematics. What's the point? Also, not everyone reading the book had read the bible. The sacrifice chapters especially in reference to the bible stories were a torture to read. Sorry no!

[Wojciech]

Po lekturze "Smutku tropików" Levi-Straussa szukałem zaczepienia, przede wszystkim teoretycznego, które pomogłoby mi pogłębiać wiedzę o strukturalizmie.

Leach przedstawia go z elegancją, nie popadając w pułapkę nadmiernego żargonu.

[versarbre]

As Leach says, this is a book suitable for undergraduate reading, so basically it is a fun, witty, and useful exercise book for whoever wants to practice anthropological thinking. Pretty much like a short version of Czerny's exercises for piano learners!

[Ismail cherradi]

this essay's for the undergraduate who want to have a knowledge about the act of communication.

Mulle meeldis Leachi süstemaatiline lähenemine ning üsna suure tõenäosusega tulen selle teksti juurde erialases töös veel mitu korda tagasi.
