Bringing some of the most prominent social and cultural anthropologists into discussion around the work of Maurice Godelier, this volume explores and revisits some of the most complex practices and structures social scientists have had to elucidate. From the nature - culture debate to the fabrication of hereditary political systems, from transforming gender relations to the problems of the Christianization of indigenous peoples, these chapters demonstrate both the diversity of anthropological topics and the opportunity for constructive dialogue around shared methodological and theoretical models.
