Also:
The flaws in R. Needham's "binary opposition" (in Reconaissances, Counterpoints and in Politethic opposition) and the absurdity of L. Dumont's "hierarchic opposition" ( Homo hiearachicus) as two possible outcomes of the ambiguity of the Durkheimean model.
Neddham and Dumont reviewed by R. H. Barnes ( Hierarchy without caste) and J. C. Gomes da Silva (L'identité volée): misreadings of Aristote's Catagories and Organon, evocation of Porphiry's platonism in his neo-aristotean proposal, and of Thomas Aquinas' "hiearachic opposition".
The forgotten categorical relations in Aristote: reversibility and ambiguity as essential to an understanding of the dynamics symbolic thought: Luc de Heusch's critical conception of "sacred royalty" in Africa ( Sacrifice dans le religions africaines), and J. C. Gomes da Silva's view on inversion and reversibility (and notes on dialogism from M. Baktine to J. Kristeva).
