Summary

There may be many mavericks, but the two to be considered are Gregory Bateson and Dame Mary Douglas. Bateson is of concern particularly through his interest in national character. Douglas is of concern through her interest in ‘grid and group’. In a way, both of these entail structuralist readings of commonplace notions.
