Discourse and the Construction of Society: Comparative Studies of Myth, Ritual, and Classification 2 Revised edition
Lincoln, Bruce (Caroline E. Haskell Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions, Caroline E. Haskell Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions, Divinity School, University of Chicago)
In this edition of his seminal theoretical work on myth, ritual, and classification, Bruce Lincoln explores the ways in which these narratives and practices hold human societies together--and how, in times of crisis, they can be used to take a society apart and reconstruct it. The second edition includes three new chapters, new images, and an updated bibliography.
