Anthropoetics: The Journal of Generative Anthropology
"In contrast to fashionable methodologies that dissolve the human in the fractal complexity of cultural differences, generative anthropology (GA) attempts to understand cultural phenomena in the simplest terms possible: all things human are traced back to their source in the hypothetical scene of origin in which human beings as sign-using creatures first emerged." If you are familiar with Rene Girard's thought, this journal is in the same vicinity.
