Prof. Susan Johnston
For example, the chapter on symbols spends entirely too much time on familiar American examples (the American flag and the “yellow ribbon tied around a tree”) before moving on to what could have been a fascinating explanation of a symbolic ritual exchange practiced by a tribe in Papua New Guinea. The lecturer begins by explaining that this ritual exchange is about status and that status is represented by the exchange of bracelets and necklaces. She then drops the topic of the exchange entirely and, instead, focuses on the canoes made for the practice. Although she does a good job of describing and explaining the meaning of the symbols on the canoes, she never explains how these canoes play a role in the ritual exchange. In fact, she never mentions the ritual exchange again. It’s almost as though part of the lecture was left out.
Such gaps and surface explanations of interesting, unfamiliar topics and practices in world religions, myths, and, especially, magic make for a disappointing listening experience for anyone truly interested in in a deeper understanding of these topics. Better to have covered fewer topics in much greater depth.
