Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lowie's Selected Papers in Anthropology An author is notoriously disqualified from properly assessing what he has written. Nevertheless, it is of some psychological interest for others to learn what he himself values as most Significant in his output. The award of the Viking Fund medal in December, 1947, prompted me to survey my writings with an eye to determining what I could myself regard as contributions, i.e., as reasonably original and formally acceptable additions to anthropological thinking, as things not said at all, or not so well, by others. The results are meager, but possibly suggestive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Anthropologists and the Rediscovery of America, 1886–1965 by : John S. Gilkeson
Download or read book Anthropologists and the Rediscovery of America, 1886–1965 written by John S. Gilkeson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the intersection of cultural anthropology and American cultural nationalism from 1886, when Franz Boas left Germany for the United States, until 1965, when the National Endowment for the Humanities was established. Five chapters trace the development within academic anthropology of the concepts of culture, social class, national character, value, and civilization, and their dissemination to non-anthropologists. As Americans came to think of culture anthropologically, as a 'complex whole' far broader and more inclusive than Matthew Arnold's 'the best which has been thought and said', so, too, did they come to see American communities as stratified into social classes distinguished by their subcultures; to attribute the making of the American character to socialization rather than birth; to locate the distinctiveness of American culture in its unconscious canons of choice; and to view American culture and civilization in a global perspective.

Book Synopsis In Defense of Anthropology by : Herbert S. Lewis
Download or read book In Defense of Anthropology written by Herbert S. Lewis and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the history and character of modern anthropology has been egregiously distorted to the detriment of this intellectual pursuit and academic discipline. The "critique of anthropology" is a product of the momentous and tormented events of the 1960s when students and some of their elders cried, "Trust no one over thirty!" The Marxist, postmodern, and postcolonial waves that followed took aim at anthropology and the result has been a serious loss of confidence; both the reputation and the practice of anthropology has suffered greatly. The time has come to move past this damaging discourse. Herbert S. Lewis chronicles these developments, and subjects the "critique" to a long overdue interrogation based on wide-ranging knowledge of the field and its history, as well as the application of common sense. The book questions discourses about anthropology and colonialism, anthropologists and history, the problem of "exoticizing 'the Other,'" anthropologists and the Cold War, and more. Written by a master of the profession, In Defense of Anthropology will require consideration by all anthropologists, historians, sociologists of science, and cultural theorists.

Book Synopsis The History of Ethnological Theory (Classic Reprint) by : Robert Harry Lowie
Download or read book The History of Ethnological Theory (Classic Reprint) written by Robert Harry Lowie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Ethnological Theory The present treatise is explicitly devoted only to that part of anthropology (as the term is understood in English-speaking countries) which concerns culture. Within that sphere it attempts to indicate the course of theoretical progress; but since theory must rest on fact, the growth of knowledge through the perfection of tech niques for gathering information receives proper con sideration. A glance at the Table of Contents suffices to show that there has been no undue emphasis on American theories; indeed, Morgan and Boas are the only writers to whom extended discussion has been granted. On the other hand, in illustrating points by special instances, the author has inevitably leaned heavily on American material, with which he happens to be most familiar.
