Some Recent Developments in Ethnography in the USSR (Review Article)
More About Religion as a Social Phenomenon: (A Reply to My Critics)
My article "On Religion as a Social Phenomenon (An Ethnographer's Thoughts)" [O religii kak sotsial'nom iavlenii (mysli etnografa)] in Sovetskaia etnografiia, no. 3, 1979, has prompted a lively debate. (1) (When citing my article in what follows I give the [original] page number.) It was intended to do just that. However, I am somewhat perplexed by another thing, the fact that, although written by an ethnographer and directed primarily toward eth…
On Religion as a Social Phenomenon (Thoughts of an Ethnographer)
There are many definitions of religion. But they often differ from each other only in nuance. Fundamentally there are only two definitions, two ways of understanding religion, which differ radically from each other. One is that of believers, theologians, and defenders of religion; the other, that of its opponents, the atheists
Myth, Method, and Madness [and Comments and Replies]
The structural analysis of myth is a prime focus of anthropological interest, largely because of the efforts of Levi-Strauss. This paper uses some Levi-Straussian ideas to develop a strategy for myth analysis that I call the non-sense-in-myth strategy (NIMS). The strategy is given a trial run on a well-known and (I believe) much-misunderstood myth: Adam and Eve in Eden. The structure identified has an evolutionary character consistent with many m…
Ethnographic Observations in France
The ethnic and national aspect of each people is defined primarily by the cultural traditions existing in its social and family life. It is by virtue of these traditions that a given people differs and differentiates itself from other peoples. Cultural traditions are usually associated to some degree with language, which in itself serves as an important - sometimes the principal or even the only - sign distinguishing one people from the rest. Lan…

Pavel Ivanovich Kushner (Knyshev) 1889-1968
On March 14, after a severe illness lasting more than ten years, the Old Bolshevik, major historian, and ethnographer, Professor Pavel Ivanovich Kushner, Doctor of Historical Sciences, passed away. We have lost a beloved and respected older comrade, a man of high principle and honesty, a major and many-sided scientist
La mythologie et sa place dans l'histoire culturelle de l'homme
Rejoinder to Dunn
Respected Colleague Dunn: I don't believe I will pursue the debate with you in the pages of the American Anthropologist any further. It seems to me that my brief response to your review (publication of which in the April number was promised) is sufficient. But to you personally I should like to make a fuller response to your criticisms, because I see that you have still failed to understand some of the basic ideas of my two books on religion. I a…

On Soviet Views of Totemism
Principles of the Morphological Classification of Religions (Part II)
What should be the basis of a morphological classification of religions? Most of the classifications in the literature are founded on criteria such as the content of religious concepts or, in other words, the object of worship. It goes without saying that this component of religion cannot be ignored in any attempt to analyze and systematize religious phenomena. However, to hold this criterion to be fundamental and decisive in classifying religion…
