Explorations 1
EXPLORATIONS 1 took an audaciously new approach to communications and cultural research “cutting across” studies in anthropology, literature, social sciences, economics, folklore, and popular culture. From Copernican revolutions (Bidney) to a seventeenth-century translation of Sweden’s Mohra witchcraft trials (Horneck); from senses of time (Leach) to the meaning of gongs (Carrington); from Majorcan customs (Graves) to a typography of functional analysis (Spiro); from Veblen’s economic history (Riesman) to contemporary stress levels (Selye), the issue also included one of György Kepes’s earliest drafts on fusing “art and science,” an essay on Freud and vices (Goodman), and a return to childhood in Legman’s work on comic books, before concluding with now classic essays by McLuhan and Frye. The cover of Explorations 1 depicts a series of masks from the award-winning film The Loon’s Necklace (Crawley Films, 1948).
