INTERPRETATIONS AND OTHER CONCERNS Jeffrey

چکیده
Cannibalism as a topic of interest, both general and anthropological, has seen a revival of concern in the last seven years or so. Primarily responsible for this revival is the controversial stance taken by William Arens in his book, The ManEating Myth: Anthropology and Anthropophagy (1979). Following the publication of this work has been a deluge of articles and books, popular and specialized, dealing with this topic in either a pro or con fashion regarding the existence or non-existence of cannibalism as an actual cultural practice in past (or even more recent) history (Riviere 1980; Parry 1982; Strather 1982; Brown and Tuzin 1983; Harris 1985; Kolata 1986; Sanday 1986). A note must be made here that Arens specifically states that he is only referring to "cannibalism as a custom" (Arens 1979:21), or ritual cannibalism, as opposed to the other forms of cannibalism such as survival cannibalism, dietary cannibalism, or the other various types of cannibalism that have been proposed which will be dealt with in greater detail in this paper.
