Rose and the Thorn: Semiotic Structures in Morocco

0 - Default Title
Description
1987 University of Arizona Press hardcover, Roger Joseph, Terri Brint Joseph. Drawing on shared field experience and semiotic theory, an anthropologist and a literary analyst focus on the ``texts'' of marriage in two Berber communities. They draw critically and selectively on the varied Maghrebian research of P. Bourdieu, C. and H. Geertz, E. Gellner, David Hart, and others to achieve a challenging synthesis. By exploring the tensions between social integration and fragmentation as these affect politics, kinship, gender, and status, the authors elegantly demonstrate how structure itself affords the means of strategic manipulation. - worldcat.org
