Public Estimations and Attitudes Towards the Insanity Plea in the United States
A series of pioneering studies from the late 1970s and early 1980s evidenced that the general public held grossly inaccurate estimations of the frequency and success of the insanity plea, as well as significantly negative attitudes towards the plea. Since the 1980s replications of these findings are nonexistent and, perhaps consequently, contemporary scholars continue to rely on the findings of these studies when discussing the general population…
Burning Money
For a thousand years across the length and breadth of China and beyond, people have burned paper replicas of valuable things-most often money-for the spirits of deceased family members, ancestors, and myriads of demons and divinities. Although frequently denigrated as wasteful and vulgar and at times prohibited by governing elites, today this venerable custom is as popular as ever. Burning Money explores the cultural logic of this common practice…

Lampooning the Paper Money Custom in Contemporary China
Over the past millennium and across the length and breadth of China and beyond, people have been burning paper replicas of the material world to send to their deceased family members, ancestors, and myriads of imaginary beings.

Studies of the paper money custom have neglected the native oppositi…

Love songs and the Great Leap
he Chinese Communists believe that all art is politically motivated and propagandistic in nature and that the use of symbols is crucial to winning the people's compliance with revolutionary goals. In this paper, I analyze a small corpus from one genre of Communist propaganda, namely love songs. The songs reveal some basic values-a kind of "root paradigm" in the form of a "protracted courtship"-that combine traditional, popular, and socialist moti…
Death and Abuse in Marriage Laments
Sex, Incest, and Death
In this paper an attempt is made to show why initiation and/or puberty rites occur in so many societies and why they take the shape they do. To do this I have used concepts derived from social and physical anthropology and from psychoanalysis. The rites are seen as part of a general human concern with categorization and the attribution of power/danger to what is not classifiable. The particular problem lies in the metamorphosis from the sexual wo…
