Unlike previous works on "primitive" art, this collection resolutely grounds itself in anthropology. The contributors draw on current theory as well as analyses of classical anthropological topics such as myth, ritual, and exchange, in order to further the reader's understanding of particular aesthetic traditions in their cultural and historical contexts. Included is an analysis of cross-cultural applications of such concepts as art and aesthetics.
