Ritual language, wild and domestic animals, and objects of material culture like houses, palaces, and works of art, are often loaded with symbolic meaning. 'Reading the landscape', or giving meaning to the natural environment, is a cultural act as well, and one must discover what mountains, coastlines, and islands mean to different groups of people. In this book, written on the occasion of Professor Reimar Schefold's retirement from the Department of Cultural Anthropology at Leiden University, colleagues and former students from the Netherlands and abroad demonstrate the variety and wealth of the field of symbolic anthropology. The regional focus of the book is Indonesia. The studies presented range from small island communities in western, northern, and eastern Indonesia to urban settlements in Java and Sumatra. All the contributions are in one way or another related to Reimar Schefold's work over the past thirty-five years, work that includes extensive studies on material culture, rituals, and the use of symbols in the expression of ethnicity among the various cultural groups of Indonesia

El presente trabajo ofrece una reflexión sobre el estudio de la vida cotidiana en la obra de Lluís Duch, destacando sus principales categorías teóricas, tales como: praxis de dominación de la contingencia, estructura e historia, ambigüedad, así como sus análisis sobre cada una de las estructuras de acogida: familia, ciudad, religión y comediación. Se refiere la tradición teórica en la que se inscriben sus ideas, se subrayan las que se consideran sus principales propuestas para el análisis social, político e histórico de la vida cotidiana en nuestras sociedades contemporáneas, se plantean interrogantes y problemas que nos sugiere su obra y se destaca la vigencia e importancia de algunas de sus aportaciones.
