Franz Steiner's study of Taboo is internationally recognized as a classic in its field. More than just a critique of existing taboo theories, as it has often been seen, this study offers a profound analysis of danger behavior and pollution in non-civilized societies. In a newly researched introductory chapter, based on a thorough study of Steiner's unpublished papers, this edition for the first time places the book in its context and offers a new reading of the text.
A key aspect of Steiner's achievement lies in his attempt to reconcile detailed, faithful ethnographic analysis with anthropological comparison. This provided an important starting-point for Mary Douglas' Purity and Danger. His analysis of taboo thus provides a case study with wide-ranging ramifications.This new edition makes a classic text available once again to students and general readers. A
