ANT206H5 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Steam Whistle, Jamaican Patois
Document Summary
It is necessary to recognize three different states of mind: Simply because of fancy and nothing about compulsion. This is the state in which something is present, without compulsion and without reason; it is called. Imagine the dreamer suddenly hears a loud steam whistle. It does not reside in any one feeling; it comes upon the breaking of one feeling by another feeling. The dreamer awakens and the noise stops but then begins again. He asks himself whether the shutting of the door had anything to do with it. He finds that one action is the means for bringing about another result. There are three kinds of interest we may take in a thing: Secondary interest, on account of its reactions with other things. Mediatory interest in so far as it conveys to a mind an idea about a thing. Likenesses or icons: convey ideas of the things they represent simply by imitating them.
