Book descriptionThis book dissects the persistence of the belief in ritual cannibalism. (By ritual the author makes the distinction between the notion of the cannibal as a cultural norm, which he finds to be entirely mythical, and the cannibal as aberration--survival cannibalism or deviant cannibalism like Ed Gein or Jeffrey Dahmer.) Arens surveyed the most common, pervasive, and allegedly well-documented cases of ritual cannibalism and could not find a single reliable, first-hand account. Cannibals are always something that the next group over engaged in, or that the group in question formerly did but recently stopped. It is primarily an accusation against others. It is very relevant here that accusations of cannibalism are near universal, but Western academics dismiss accounts of cannibalism by Christians, Jews, Irish, etc. as lacking any basis in reality, but readily accept accounts of Africans, indigenous Americans, or Southeast Asians and Pacific Islanders as factual despite having no greater evidence. In reality, most such accounts start out as either a Western explorer starting out with the assumption that the people he encounters are cannibals, and refusing to accept any answer otherwise, or accepting at face value one groups claim that their rivals are cannibals, without any attempt to check the truth of the claim--and in either case, other explorers and academics repeat the initial accusation so often that it acquires the status of truth, despite never having been substantiated in the first place. (It is interesting to note one of the reviews here on Goodreads claiming to have read the book and then insisting that I dont agree with him that cannibalism is a myth--an excellent example of exactly the sort of attitude he is analyzing, one in which the truth of a matter is assumed, and any evidence to the contrary is then dismissed no matter how conclusive, and without any awareness of the complete lack of any actual evidence for the claim in the first place. If you repeat something often enough, it acquires the ring of truth completely independent of whether it corresponds to any actually existing phenomenon in reality. As Arens points out, when you start with the assumption that people in New Guinea are cannibals, evidence, beyond just hearsay, is not required.)Which is what makes this book much more than just another book debunking some cultural stereotype. Arens uses cannibalism to explore the larger issue of how Westerners, particularly academics, construct and rationalize notions of difference and the other, in this case using alleged liberalism to attack ethnocentrism in order to actually reinforce a more subtle ethnocentrism. Essentially they set up cannibal as a different cultural norm and claim it is simply a normal and valuable part of human variation, and therefore place it in opposition to those who would view allegedly cannibalistic cultures with scorn and a civilizing mission--but do so in order to elevate their own, Western, civilized selves as tolerant, open-minded, and thus culturally superior. As Arens notes, Western academics need there to be primitives in order to claim to be able to define themselves as civilized.The Man-Eating Myth: Anthropology and Anthropophagy by William Arens purchase book text windows mobile
