Both were ‘armchair anthropologists’, relying on other people’s fieldwork. But both still continue to have something to say, relevant to a variety of disciplines. In linguistics, Jakobson (1956) uses Frazer’s classification of totemism as a magic cult as a point of departure for distinguishing between metonymy and metaphor. And Foucault (1983, 1986) takes Frazer as a starting point when developing his thoughts about places at the margin. Foucault is interested in the heterotopias – places of heresy, (from ‘heterodox’ and ‘topos’) – ‘that have the curious property of being in relation with all other sites, but in such a way as to suspect, neutralise, or invert the set of relations that they happen to designate, mirror or reflect’.
The first step is about ‘seeing’ or ‘realising’. The creation of good metaphors is in seeing a resemblance, as with participants in the mimetic rite, When they are assembled, then, their first act must be to affirm to one another this quality that they ascribe to themselves and by which they define themselves. The totem is their rallying sign. For this reason, as we have seen, they draw it on their bodies, and they try to emulate it by their gestures, cries, and carriage. Since they are emus or kangaroos, they will behave like the animals of the same name.
Events are not inherently traumatic. Trauma is a socially mediated attribution. The attribution may be made in real time, as an event unfolds; it may also be made before the event occurs, as an adumbration, or after the event has concluded, as a post hoc reconstruction’ (Alexander 2003,178, 181). These insights are paramount to psychoanalysis. Ways in which an incident is represented in the mind do not necessarily correspond to the actual event, or, put in the terms of psychoanalysis, unconscious fantasies may organise the experience of reality in many different ways (Arrow, in Enckell 2002).
