Abstract: John Palmer arrived in a Wichí community, located in Argentina, thirty years ago as an anthropologist - today he has married a Wichí woman with whom he has five sons in the last 5 years, who babble English, Wichí, and Spanish words. As the legal advisor of the Lapacho Mocho community, and as a part of the family, he works to obtain Qatu's freedom, a member of the Wichí community who has been in jail for 5 years waiting for an oral hearing on a charge of abusing his wife's daughter. The film gains depth and impact from its more intimate domestic interludes involving John's wife Tojweya their young children - including a baby only weeks old. So while Palmer has achieved considerable eminence in his field, winning the Royal Anthropological Institute's Lucy Mair Medal in 2009, his immersion into Wichí culture, history and customs has become much more than a matter of academic ethnography.

Language: English

Pages: 1 online resource (40 minutes) , 003949

Keywords: Song family Genealogy. ; Manners and customs. ; Hebei Sheng (China) Social life and customs. ; Bhutan ; Documentary films. ; Ethnographic films.

Abstract: Located on the North China Plain about 200 miles south of Beijing, 'Song Family Village' is home to about 1,300 people. Some 80% of all villagers are members of a single lineage of the Song surname.The film documents New Year's customs to demonstrate the segmentary structure of the Song family lineage. Ancestor temples provide the focus for collective rituals that express historical growth and subsequent fissioning into lineage segments. Minimal segments (Wufu or mourning groups) are shown as interaction groups focused on the household shrines of senior living agnates. Although the Communist-led Cultural Revolution tried to eliminate traditional kin-based institutions, this film shows that segmentary lineages are still a vigorous aspect of life in this North China village.

Note: Title from resource description page (viewed June 24, 2016). , English narration. Includes segments in Mandarin with English subtitles.

Language: English

Pages: 1 online resource (27 minutes) , 002641

Keywords: Marriage customs and rites ; Manners and customs. ; Hebei Sheng (China) Social life and customs. ; Bhutan ; Documentary films. ; Ethnographic films.

Abstract: Most weddings in the village still reflect traditional patterns of patrilineal descent and patrilocal residence. The bride leaves her natal home to marry into her husband's village, where she is a stranger among his many agnates (patrilineal kin). Recent changes in the village economy have strengthened the bargaining position of women and the present marriage customs reflect this process. In this film, the bride refuses to kowtow to the groom's relatives, reflecting her ability to defy patriarchal traditions.

Language: English

Pages: 1 online resource (31 minutes) , 003038

Keywords: Marriage customs and rites ; Social change ; Manners and customs. ; Hebei Sheng (China) Social life and customs. ; Bhutan ; Documentary films.

Abstract: This film outlines the types of marriage exchange practiced in a Chinese village over the last fifty years. Dowry, brideprice and exchange marriages have dominated the marriage market in turn as villagers have responded to changes in economic, political and social conditions. At present, the practice of 'pseudodowry' (indirect exchange) marks the ability of young women to demand large payments of cash from the groom's family, which are used to create prestigious public displays of wedding gifts for the bride. A historical overview links the personal life of Mao Zedong to issues of parental authority in arranging marriages.
