Dear friend and colleague,
It is a pleasure to enclose issue 38 of EXPRESSION, quarterly journal
of Conceptual Anthropology. It takes the reader to Australia, China,
the Middle East, Ireland and other corners of the world with
interesting cases of conceptual anthropology.
The topic of semiotic decoding continues the previous issue and
acquires additional dimensions. Different realities face each other.
The Discussion Forum shows examples of decoding where the versions of
order and logic are disparate. Two authors express two different views
on the meaning of an ancient manuscript. Another author proposes a new
function for an archeological site already published and discussed
repeatedly by other scholars. A note announces the introduction of
conceptual anthropology as a teaching discipline in a university,
while a text in the Notes and News states that this discipline is not
taught at the university. Signs may be read in different ways, and
these divergences have their meaning in semiotic decoding.
The main articles emphasize the question of reality variabilities. One
paper considers the changes in world vision that took place in
one generation among groups of Australian Aborigines, and how this is
visually expressed in their art. Life changed and the art style
reflects it.
One article deals with the function of sacred areas in early China and
elsewhere. They are the practical expressions of beliefs in a reality
that is variable and undergoes modifications. Another article unveils
the presence of Neolithic ritual practices in Ireland. It concerns a
reality and a logic that lasted for centuries and then vanished. Its
material traces are what is left for us to attempt a decoding.
In the Notes and News, readers will find cases of variations in the
concepts of reality. Semiology, sociology, and psychology are joining
archeology and anthropology in conceptual anthropology, to progress
towards decoding the meaning of material traces. Reality can only be
what the human mind considers it to be. Trends are part of collective
currents that create realities; they have a beginning, a growth, and
an end.
Your ideas and comments will be appreciated. It would be a pleasure
hearing from you. Let us know if you wish to continue receiving
EXPRESSION journal.
Best wishes and cordial regards.
