		TambiahÂ’s task was complicated by LeachÂ’s bold and iconoclastic stance and the originality, versatility, and breadth of his work: He wrote on kinship, politics, ethnicity, land tenure, economy, biblical texts, art, and architecture, among other topics.
		Leach combined skills as an ethnographer and an essayist; he also was an effective administrator, a distinguished lecturer, and a public intellectual who contributed to the debate on contemporary culture.
		Yet, at the same time, Leach criticized Lévi-StraussÂ’s universalist, reductionist assertions regarding the innate propensities of the human mind, his lack of fieldwork experience, his lack of discrimination in the use of source materials, and his growing disinclination to link myths to their local social, cultural, and material contexts.

		Leach himself recognized this, writing of "a kind of dialogue between the empiricism of Malinowski and the rationalism of Lévi-Strauss" in his 1982 Social Anthropology, which Tambiah quotes (p.
		Certainly Leach, an indefatigable fieldworker, was, in the words of Tambiah, "contemptuous and dismissive of Lévi-Strauss's own lack of fieldwork and his reliance on problematic documentary sources" (p.
		Tambiah is well qualified to write about Leach; he was on the faculty at the University of Cambridge for ten years, knew Leach personally, did fieldwork in Sri Lanka, and has written on some of the same topics.

	ritual (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		As David Hicks remarks in his introduction to the essay, Leach concludes that ritual is a category scholars have invented, not a "real" category, and which phenomena scholars choose to put into their category is largely a matter of personal preference and convenience.
		Yet, as Leach points out, both magic and worship involve actions that are patterned, must be performed in a certain order, involve specific words or objects which may stand for other things (symbols), and which are not strictly dictated by practical needs, all characteristics which have been attributed to ritual.
		Ultimately, Leach suggests, about the only thing "rituals" have in common is that they are actions that communicate meanings, or, in some cases create the very meanings they communicate - as in the crowning of a king or the transformation of a man and woman into a husband and wife.

		Leach's Burma fieldwork was carried out under difficult circumstances before and during the Second World War, and though his fieldnotes were lost, he managed to put together a monograph - Political Systems of Highland Burma (1954) - which has become a classic.
		Leach's monograph from Sri Lanka (Pul Eliya, a Village in Ceylon: A Study of Land Tenure and Kinship, 1961) is a classical ethnographic study of economic organization in peasant society.
		Leach was (along with Rodney Needham) among the first British anthropologists to be drawn toward structuralism, and during the 1960's, this became his main passion.

		In Europe, Dr Edmund Leach initiated the most recent chapter in this discussion (Leach 1955), and rather than review its whole history it is pertinent for me to take up the argument where he and others have left it.
		Later Dr Leach concludes that among the matrilineal matrilocal Nayar, as we have seen, right (to establish a socially significant "relationship of affinity" between the husband and his wife's brothers) is the only marriage characteristic that is present at all' (Leach 1955, P- 183).
		In both papers quoted by Dr Leach, finally, I noted that sexual relations were forbidden between a Nayar woman and a man of lower caste or sub-caste, and that the current sambandham husbands of a woman must pay her delivery expenses.

		Edmund Leach was Provost of King's College, Cambridge, KBE and FBA, a trustee of the British Museum, a senior fellow of Eton College, the president of societies ranging from the Royal Anthropological Institute to the British Humanist Association, and a noted collector of committee chairmanships.
		I once asked him how he could square all this with his regular insistence that he was a scourge of the establishment.
		He once claimed that all the Leaches 'have an odd way of being Rebel and High Tory at the same time', and elected as his role model his mother's uncle, Sir Henry Hoyle Howorth MP FRS, who published a five-volume History of the Mongols but was notable chiefly as a maverick.

		Just as religion forms the center and heart of the social world in which it is found, so a given detail of a religion may point us toward the center and soul of the religion at hand.
		In these three ways, anthropologists--and foremost among them, Edmund Leach and Mary Douglas-have reshaped our understanding of what we do when we claim to study a religion, or religion.
		And yet, in defense of Edmund Leach, the impatience with generalization at that middle range surely enjoys some fair justification.

		A further cautionary reminder is to guard against saying what ritual practices or symbols a people "believe" in, because often this simple concept tends to arbitrarily "bracket off" ideas that people hold about the world from the way they actually think about the world itself (see Ruel's excellent 1982 article for a full discussion).
		Leach brings to the discussion a more dynamic outlook, counting ritual practices as equivalent to cultural categories by which "messages" are communicated (1954, 1979) and through which the "values and structures of a contradictory world may be addressed and manipulated" (Comaroff 1985: 196).
		Victor Turner follows Leach's basic premise concerning communication, then tries to establish that the experience of an individual in ritual actually transcends cultural categories and social structures (1969), becoming "anti-structure" through which structural conflicts are muted and resolved.
