{"product_id":"myth-and-meaning","title":"Myth and Meaning","description":"J.D. Lewis-Williams, one of the leading South African archaeologists and ethnographers, excavates meaning from the complex mythological stories of the San-Bushmen to create a larger theory of how myth is used in culture. He extracts their “nuggets,” the far-reaching but often unspoken words and concepts of language and understanding that are opaque to outsiders, to establish a more nuanced theory of the role of these myths in the thought-world and social circumstances of the San. The book   -draws from the unique 19th century Bleek\/Lloyd archives, more recent ethnographic work, and San rock art;-includes well-known San stories such as The Broken String, Mantis Dreams, and Creation of the Eland;-extrapolates from our understanding of San mythology into a larger model of how people create meaning from myth.","brand":"Left Coast Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226965922136,"sku":"9781629581545","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781629581545_ec884faa-0fae-4274-9c3d-2518c90869c4.jpg?v=1779165017","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/myth-and-meaning","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
