Fear and Conventionality is a book written by Elsie Clews Parsons, an American anthropologist and folklorist. The book explores the relationship between fear and conventionality in human societies, and how these two concepts are intertwined. Parsons argues that fear is a fundamental aspect of human nature, and that it influences our behavior and actions in a variety of ways. She also explores how conventionality, or the adherence to social norms and customs, can both alleviate and exacerbate fear in different contexts.Throughout the book, Parsons draws on examples from different cultures and societies to illustrate her points. She discusses how fear can be used as a tool of social control, and how it can be manipulated by those in power to maintain their authority. She also explores how fear can lead to conformity and the suppression of individuality, as people seek to fit in with the expectations of their society.Despite its focus on fear and conventionality, the book ultimately offers a nuanced and complex view of human behavior and society. Parsons acknowledges that fear and conventionality can both have positive and negative effects, depending on the context in which they are experienced. She also recognizes that individuals have agency and the ability to resist social pressures, even in the face of fear.Overall, Fear and Conventionality is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of two fundamental aspects of human society. It offers a unique perspective on the role that fear and conventionality play in shaping our behavior and our relationships with others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
