Question
In a letter, this scholar said that “whenever we start with Dead Things and Skeletons we are wrong.” This thinker advocated instead to “find beauty in a living human body and not in a skeleton or at best in a Marble” in that letter to the thinker Elsie Masson. This thinker’s racism and sexual approaches to his subjects were revealed in a pair of journals posthumously published as A (*) Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term. A two-volume book by this thinker analyses the use of “formulae,” or “spells,” in raising taro. Marcel Mauss questioned this functionalist’s discussion of a freely given pure gift in the context of a Melanesian exchange system called the Kula ring. For 10 points, name this Polish-British anthropologist, who wrote about the people of the Trobriand Islands in Coral Gardens and Their Magic and Argonauts of the Western Pacific. ■END■
