Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Anthropology To this extent, then, I see no division in my task. I have, however, to remind the reader that I am not by training a philosopher but a social anthropologist and I cannot finally hope to offer more than the material upon which a philosopher might work. Given the relatively short scope allowed to this essay I have been obliged to choose some device which would enable me to perform the task proposed In the most economical manner. I shall therefore discuss the development of social anthropology in time and I shall see that development as the constant interaction of speculation about man in society, on the one hand, and the observation of man in society, on the other. I shall suggest that the tendency in either the empirical or speculative approach to claim a monopoly of truth has called for a corrective from the other, and that the distinct ive manner in which this opposition has been transcended constitutes the individuality of social anthropology today.

On 3 December 19591 had the honour to deliver the first Malinowski Memorial Lecture at the London School of Economics. The Editorial Board of the London School of Economics Monographs in Social Anthropology generously offered to publish the text of my lecture but added the flattering suggestion that I should reprint a number of my other essays at the same time. I have accordingly appropriated the title of my Malinowski lecture for the whole collection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The physical anthropology, archaeology, and technology she does not profess to touch in the present work. On the other hand, the main aspects of the social life are dealt with adequately; and she has had the happy thought to prefix, in accordance with modern method, an account of the geographical conditions to which the native institutions so closely and characteristically respond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Anthropology The present edition has been enriched by numerous additional notes and references from the pen of the author, the former, as a rule, having been incorporated in the text. I have, partly on that account and partly from the character of the work, refrained, with two or three exceptions, from encumbering its pages with additions of my own. But this course will be no precedent for the editors of future publications of the Society. In many cases it may be the special duty of the editor to bring the work of which he has charge up to the science and knowledge Of his day. The table of contents has been somewhat amplified, and a copious index added. This was required, inas much as the time when the work will be continued has not been determined on by the Society, and the pre sent volume is complete in itself, forming one of the most valuable contributions, that has yet appeared, to general Anthropology.

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 Historical Anthropology of the Family by : Martine Segalen
Download or read book Historical Anthropology of the Family written by Martine Segalen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1986-11-28 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade or so, the social scientific sociological analysis of the family has been obliged to reconsider its traditional view that industrialisation triggered a shift within society from the 'large family', which fulfilled all social functions from socialising the children to caring for the sick and the old, to the modern nuclear family, which was regarded solely as being the locus for emotional relationships. Historians have shown that in the past there was a variety of family structures within a range of varying demographic, economic and cultural frameworks, distinctive for each society. At the same time, the interaction between sociology and social anthropology has led to a clearer conceptual analysis of that vague, polysemic term 'family'; and notions of dwelling-place, descent, marriage, the relative roles of husband and wife and parent-child relations, as well as the more general relations between generations, have in a variety of past and present social contexts been taken apart and analysed. In this book, the author synthesises European and North American historical and social anthropological material on the family that shows the reversal of the frequently held view of the family as an institution in decline, showing it instead to be both dynamic and resistant.

Any student of the subject already knows them. They have been collected, on the other hand, for social scientists in general, whose knowledge of anthropology. On the whole is often very limited and is too seldom used for correct correlations, and for that vast army of readers who are interested in the development of the social sciences but are unable to pursue their interest through many of the ramifications of the materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Structure The research technique upon which the volume depends, and without which it would not have been undertaken, is that of the cross-cultural Survey. Initiated in 1937 as part of the integrated program of research in the social sciences conducted by the Institute of Human Relations at Yale University, the cross-cultural Survey has built up a complete file of geographical, social, and cultural information, extracted in full from the sources and classified by sub ject, on some 150 human societies, historical and contemporary as well as primitive. From these files it is possible to secure practically all the existing information on particular topics in any of the societies covered in an insignificant fraction of the time required for com parable library research.

Book Synopsis Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary by : Paul Rabinow
Download or read book Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary written by Paul Rabinow and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-11-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compact volume two of anthropology’s most influential theorists, Paul Rabinow and George E. Marcus, engage in a series of conversations about the past, present, and future of anthropological knowledge, pedagogy, and practice. James D. Faubion joins in several exchanges to facilitate and elaborate the dialogue, and Tobias Rees moderates the discussions and contributes an introduction and an afterword to the volume. Most of the conversations are focused on contemporary challenges to how anthropology understands its subject and how ethnographic research projects are designed and carried out. Rabinow and Marcus reflect on what remains distinctly anthropological about the study of contemporary events and processes, and they contemplate productive new directions for the field. The two converge in Marcus’s emphasis on the need to redesign pedagogical practices for training anthropological researchers and in Rabinow’s proposal of collaborative initiatives in which ethnographic research designs could be analyzed, experimented with, and transformed. Both Rabinow and Marcus participated in the milestone collection Writing Culture: The Poetics and Politics of Ethnography. Published in 1986, Writing Culture catalyzed a reassessment of how ethnographers encountered, studied, and wrote about their subjects. In the opening conversations of Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary, Rabinow and Marcus take stock of anthropology’s recent past by discussing the intellectual scene in which Writing Culture intervened, the book’s contributions, and its conceptual limitations. Considering how the field has developed since the publication of that volume, they address topics including ethnography’s self-reflexive turn, scholars’ increased focus on questions of identity, the Public Culture project, science and technology studies, and the changing interests and goals of students. Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary allows readers to eavesdrop on lively conversations between anthropologists who have helped to shape their field’s recent past and are deeply invested in its future.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fortnightly Club for the Study of Anthropology: Organized at Yonkers, March 2, 1888; Program The Fortnightly Club for the Study of Anthro pology had its origin in the desire of those who became its original members to meet together for the study and discussion of matters of intellectual interest, apart from technical science on one side and from mere liter ature on the other; matters that should be of a con siderable range and variety, associated with facts and objects of personal observation, appealing to individual minds. It was desired that the meetings, while thus of a general scientific nature, and therefore somewhat formal in character, should be private, in order to insure freedom of discussion, and to preserve the feeling of a social bond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Structure and Sentiment is an important book.

G. Lounsbury, American Anthropologist "A theoretical and methodological essay of first importance. As such, the book should be of interest to all social scientists interested in the development of specific and general theory in social anthropology."—Southwestern Social Science Quarterly
