	James Frazer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir James George Frazer (January 1, 1854 – May 7, 1941), a social anthropologist influential in the early stages of the modern studies of mythology and comparative religion, was born in Glasgow, Scotland.
		Frazer was far from being the first to study religions dispassionately, as a cultural phenomenon rather than from within theology.
		His generation's choice of Darwinian evolution as a social paradigm, interpreted by Frazer as three rising stages of human progress—magic giving rise to religion, then culminating in science—has not proved valid.

		Ils critiqueront et enrichiront la compréhension qu'en a eue Frazer, trop marqué par le préjugé d'une supériorité de la civilisation occidentale sur celles des « sauvages » (évolutionnisme).
		Frazer a surtout scruté les tabous qui concernent les personnages sacrés: rois et prêtres.

		James Frazer was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on Jan. 1, 1854.
		Frazer decided that ancient rituals and myths could be illuminated by examination of similar customs of modern peoples living in a "savage" or "barbarous" stage.
		Frazer's distinction between magic and religion has proved valid, but the idea that an evolutionary stage of magic invariably preceded religion is invalid, as religious sentiments have been observed in very primitive peoples.

		Frazer wrote at a time when most anthropologists were interested in reconstructing the evolution of modern culture from archaeological evidence, classical literature and comparison to living "primitives".
		The selection from Frazer in your reader emphasizes the similarity in the basic reasoning behind what he saw as two different attempts to influence "nature" : "magic" and "science." Both magic and science, Frazer argues, involve a belief that nature responds automatically to human action.
		The difference between magic and religion, Frazer says, lies not in the basic type of reasoning but on the accuracy of the knowledge about nature on which each is based.

		Frazer reveals to us our own social, cultural, and religious blindfold, which is none other than a pretty rendering of the ancient magics and superstitions explored in The Golden Bough.
		Frazer doesn't talk much about biblical "myths" much and not at all about Christ, but one can draw inferences from his work about certain passages in the Bible such as eating the body and blood of Christ during communion.
		James Frazer is not exactly a cultural relativist so he has no problem with calling certain societies savage or primitive and his own society civilized and more advanced, although he admits its primitive past.

		The underlying theme of the work is Frazer's theory of a general development of modes of thought from the magical to the religious and, finally, to the scientific.
		According to Frazer, the institution of divine kingship derived from the belief that the well-being of the social and natural orders depended upon the vitality of the king, who must therefore be slain when his powers begin to fail him and be replaced by a vigorous successor.
		It is frequently cited in the studies that attempt to combine literary criticism and anthropology, in the manner in which Sir James George Frazer combined studies of primitive religion and culture in The Golden Bough (1890–1915).

		Frazer's classic "The Golden Bough" may justifiably be called the foundation that modern anthropology is based on.
		Frazer shows again and again that these traditional customs and continuations of ancient rites are the basis for a religious system pre-dating any of our own.
		Frazer is very eloquent while being scientific, so that it can be read as either a technical monograph or a type of epic myth itself.

	The Golden Bough - James George Frazer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		An expert in myth and religion, Sir James George Frazer spent more than a quarter-century assembling this 1890 study of the cults, rites, and myths of antiquity.
		Frazer's definitions of such terms as "magic," "religion," and "science" proved highly useful to his successors in the field of social anthropology, and his explications of the ancient legends profoundly influenced generations of psycdhologists, writers, and poets.
		This abridgment of his twelve-volume work omits footnotes and occasionally condenses text; nevertheless, as the author himself observed, all of its main principles remain intact, along with ample illustrative examples.

	Studio antropologico
		Sir James Frazer ha portato l'ultimo significativo contributo alla corrente antropologica britannica di fine ottocento.
		Per l'aspetto politico, le teorie di Frazer, come quelle dei suoi colleghi di corrente evoluzionista, si prestavano a dare una solida legittimità scientifica ed etica al dominio coloniale della civiltà occidentale sul mondo "altro".
		A supporto delle sue teorie, Frazer si sforzò di incastrare e far quadrare molteplicità di dati e fatti, etnologici e folklorici, con un comparativismo poco rigoroso e con una forte decontestualizzazione, poiché tutto era funzionale a rendere impeccabile la sua ricostruzione della storia della civiltà.

	The Golden Bough (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Sir James George Frazer (1854-1941) was a Scottish anthropologist with a particular interest in the study of myth and religion.
		His early research in the development of religion, as humanity progressed from primitive to civilized social structures, ripened into a set of theories about the historical evolution of ancient cults, rites, rituals, and religious beliefs.
		Much of Frazer's book derives from this exploration of ancient tree worship, of the attempt of early peoples to control nature, and of the ritual killing of divine kings.
