Book excerpt: 4e de couv.: The essays in this volume exemplify a new synthesis emerging in Polynesian studies, based upon insights derived from structuralism. Working with the indigenous idioms of myth, genealogy, ritual, philosophy and history, the authors isolate common elements of Polynesian cultural theory and show how the structures variously constructed from them persist and recur in a variety of transformations in societies widely separated from one another both in time and space.

Book excerpt: "The Polynesian Society and its Journal have been in continuous existence for a century. They were founded in Wellington, New Zealand in January 1892 by S. Percy Smith and a small band of amateur enthusiasts who saw it as their duty to record the lore and literature of Maori and other Polynesian peoples, then thought to be heading for extinction. By the Society and the Journal, like their main subjects, have confounded all expectations and flourished [The Journal] is one of the oldest continuously published anthropological journals in the world and has long been the premier journal of its kind in the Pacific region. Over the years the amateur scholars gave way to professional anthropologists, with the editorship of the JPS and the management of the Society gradually being transferred to the Anthropology Department of the University of Auckland from the 1950s."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this influential book of essays, Jonathan Z. Smith has pointed the academic study of religion in a new theoretical direction, one neither theological nor willfully ideological. Making use of examples as apparently diverse and exotic as the Maori cults in nineteenth-century New Zealand and the events of Jonestown, Smith shows that religion must be construed as conventional, anthropological, historical, and as an exercise of imagination. In his analyses, religion emerges as the product of historically and geographically situated human ingenuity, cognition, and curiosity—simply put, as the result of human labor, one of the decisive but wholly ordinary ways human beings create the worlds in which they live and make sense of them. "These seven essays . . . display the critical intelligence, creativity, and sheer common sense that make Smith one of the most methodologically sophisticated and suggestive historians of religion writing today. . . . Smith scrutinizes the fundamental problems of taxonomy and comparison in religious studies, suggestively redescribes such basic categories as canon and ritual, and shows how frequently studied myths may more likely reflect situational incongruities than vaunted mimetic congruities. His final essay, on Jonestown, demonstrates the interpretive power of the historian of religion to render intelligible that in our own day which seems most bizarre."—Richard S. Sarason, Religious Studies Review
