Description
Signifying Animals offers a fresh assessment of how animal symbolism functions across diverse cultures, moving beyond outdated frameworks to examine the actual mechanisms of symbolic meaning-making. This scholarly work reconsiders the concept of totemism and exposes common fallacies that have long dominated symbolic interpretation in social and developmental psychology. Rather than relying on received wisdom, the book critically examines how humans assign meaning to animals and what those meanings reveal about cultural values, social structures, and psychological processes. Ideal for students and researchers in anthropology, psychology, and cultural studies, it provides essential insights into the relationship between human societies and the natural world.

Key Features

Signifying Animals critically reassesses animal symbolism across multiple cultures and social contexts.

The book reconsiders totemism as a concept and challenges established interpretations in symbolic analysis.

Routledge publication provides academic rigour and scholarly authority in social and developmental psychology research.

This work exposes common fallacies in how scholars have traditionally approached symbolic meaning in natural systems.

Essential reading for understanding how human cultures create and sustain meaning through animal imagery and representation.
