Burstall and Guest have given a classification of harmonic maps of the 2‐sphere with values in Lie groups and inner symmetric spaces. We extend their result to outer symmetric spaces G/K, using the pointed Cartan embedding into G. We show that in this case the number of classes can be reduced from 2 r to 2 s where r = rank G and s = rank K. Moreover we replace the 2‐sphere by a simply connected compact Kähler manifold and ‘harmonic’ by ‘pluriharmonic’.
