Synopsis "Objetos y Palabras Tabú (in Spanish)"

J. G. Frazer explica en esta selección de su obra fundamental, La rama dorada: magia y religión, que existen leyes generales del pensamiento primitivo que se han transmitido hasta nuestros días bajo la forma impalpable y el respeto irrestricto que profesamos hacia objetos y palabras tabú.

James George Frazer (1854–1941) was an influential Scottish anthropologist and folklorist, a pioneer in the comparative studies of mythology and religion. He was born in Glasgow and studied at the universities of Glasgow and Cambridge. His most notable work, The Golden Bough, initially published in 1890 and expanded into twelve volumes between 1906 and 1915, analyzes the similarities between myths, rites, and beliefs from various cultures, proposing an evolution from magic to religion and, finally, to science.

Frazer was a professor at the University of Liverpool and a member of the Royal Society. Despite his partial blindness from 1930, he continued his academic work. His methodological approach was based on the collection of historical data and testimonies, without conducting direct fieldwork, which has been subject to criticism.

His legacy endures in the influence that The Golden Bough had on literature and modern thought, inspiring writers like T.S. Eliot. Although his evolutionary theory has been questioned, his ability to identify common patterns across different cultures remains a significant contribution to the study of comparative religions.
