The Serpent's Children
While functionalist accounts of myth have generally yielded to structural analyses since the appearance some 25 years ago of Lévi-Strauss's essay, "The Structural Study of Myth," the relationship between myth and that analytical entity called "culture" is still unclear. The difficulty can be traced to an unfinished anthropological dialogue about what culture is or what cultures are, and how it/they can best be described. My central thesis is that…

The Cultural Continuum
Lee Drummond's "The Cultural Continuum: A Theory of Intersystems" (1980) challenges the prevailing anthropological tendency to categorize cultures as discrete, bounded entities. Drummond argues for a more fluid and dynamic understanding of culture as a continuum, emphasizing the interconnectedness and interpenetration of cultural systems. He introduces the concept of "intersystems," defined as the zones of interaction and exchange between differe…

The Transatlantic Nanny
The paper suggests that systems‐building efforts in kinship studies have glossed over significant cultural variability in the institution of mother. A cultural analysis of family structure in Victorian England and English‐speaking countries of the Western Hemisphere focuses on the career of a prominent mother surrogate, the nanny. The diversity of fates experienced by nanny after her transatlantic voyage appears to support the view that the insti…

Structure and Process in the Interpretation of South American Myth
Recent work on oral narrative has emphasized differences in textual and performative approaches, which in turn has tended to widen the distinction between two fundamental categories of anthropological thought: structure and process. This paper argues that, at least for the interpretation of South American myth, an integrated approach is essential. After reviewing the epistemological basis of current problems in myth studies, the paper attempts a …

On the Limits of Symbolic Interpretation in Anthropology [and Comments and Reply]
Symbolic readings of ritual acts rely on a distinction between the symbolic and the instrumental that is hard to sustain. In order that we take public lectures and academic papers-which are certainly ritual acts-intellectually seriously, it is enough that they not be obviously false. A further argument against reading them symbolically is that the symbolic reading involves projection of hidden meanings which have not been intentionally put there.…
Under the Rainbow
This article examines the relationship between nature and supernature among the Panare Indians of Venezuelan Guiana. The authors argue that the Panare do not perceive a sharp distinction between these two realms. Instead, they view the natural world as imbued with spiritual forces and beings, which are integral to their understanding of hunting, illness, and social relations. The article explores how Panare myths and rituals reflect this intercon…
