EE Evans Pritchard's The Nuer and (Claude Lévi-Strauss’ TstesTropigus both claim o addres the unetly= ing form that structures events—The Nuar in the politcal model of segmentation, Tristes Tropiqus, more indirectly, though the suggestive analogy between the experience of travel and the ite of passage Fler, 1 shall suggest that their own textual form strctures out peexption of how those events actually work. For both these works stnacturally embody what they purport only to describe The Nuer is sequentially organized in such a way as to express the segmentary view of cultural relations that underlies Evans Pritchard's view of how the world should be governed (see also Galaty 198; Karp tnd Maynard 1983; Dresch 1988). Tries Tropes does not s0 muck describe as brome a rite of passage, moving readers though well ‘marked stages in which they constantly meet themselves coming bck in the opposite direction. What is more, Triste, Trpipes adopts the Segmentary worldview of The Nuer=if not, perhaps, ofthe Nuer-and ‘extends it beyond the intude of “ibe” or “nation” to encompass the entire gamut of living creatures, real and imaginable Segmentation is constantly emergent in social practices, whether these be cultural encounters with the exotic or marauding sid aginst an armed enemy. ‘The two books that we shall be examining here ae inscribed ina larger ieeaeeeeseeeeeeeneaansmmmmnnnmemmmmmmmmmmmmmnnsiainMemaciemmemmeetiee soon ticscctcdiat/aaceade o Michael Hertld set of segmentary practices, and hes formal structures are means of racing or atullng the sense of caltral ratty ha, ostensBy, isthelr goal to describe rane Pvthars study of Nue sociology acknowledges he poliial spect of Neri the absence of bureaucrat overent Tis Was an undoubted improvement on the eater incomprehensi that had the discovery that certain peoples lacked the organizational $rsctures hat most educated Europeans regarded a dein feature of politcal fe One ofthe efits is peapecv, however was fo fener the Nuer almost schemata” dependent on the exigences of Their system.
