Unlike a historian, an anthropologist drawing on fieldwork cannot - not even in theory - control all the available evidence and render it "truthfully." A community is not a finite archive. Unlike a psychiatric expert, moreover, an anthropologist cannot claim to have met alone with the subject - a "culture". In order to obtain a more in-depth analysis of the anthropological subject, the book undertakes a psychoanalytical investigation, with the "toolkit" provided by theoreticians of the field in the wake of Jacques Lacan, of Clifford Geertz's "Deep Play. Notes on the Balinese Cockfight".
