    Abstract: This collection of five documents and a culture summary, all in English, cover historical and cultural information from about late-1880s to early 2000s. Two documents date back to the first quarters of the 20th century when most of the area was ruled by European colonialists. One is a chapter from a handbook compiled by the intelligence division of the British Navy, the other is a book written by H. R. P. Dickson, a British political agent who worked in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq in 1920s-1930s. Dickson's book provides a first hand account of Bedouin culture and society including the physical environment, material culture, seasonal movements, organization of tribes and lineages, cultural norms relating to visiting and hospitality, folklore, religious beliefs and practices, warfare, and inter-community relations. The remainder of the collection consists of three articles, all by professional anthropologists. Two discuss indigenous conflict resolution practices with particular emphasis on blood feuds and cattle raiding. The remaining article explores the effects of a wide variety of external and internal factors, notably colonialism, commercialization of pastoral production, occupational change and sedentarization, on Bedouin culture and identity. The Bedouin are Arabic-speaking people who earn their living primarily from animal husbandry by natural graze and browse of sheep, goats, and camels. Traditionally, the Bedouin lived in tents, formed scattered camping units that seasonally migrated over a vast area of the Middle East and North Africa influenced by availability of pasture and water. This way of life and social organization has been significantly affected by the creation of nation-states in the 20th century and the establishment national boundaries across customary migration routes. As a consequence, the Bedouin have begun to engage in new activities including tourism, commerce and wage labor

    Keywords: Rwandans ; Ethnology Rwanda ; Social structure--Rwanda--History ; Patronage, Political--Rwanda--History ; Patron and client--Rwanda--History ; Political anthropology--Rwanda--History ; Rwanda--Politics and government ; Rwanda--Ethnic relations ; Tutsi (African people) ; Hutu (African people) ; Tutsi ; Tutsi
    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents covers historical, cultural, and economic information on the Rwandans, circa 1895 to 2004. The Rwandan culture has its roots in the precolonial kingdom of Rwanda and encompasses both the population of the modern state of Rwanda and speakers of the Kinyarwanda language in the neighboring Congo and Uganda. The basic and most comprehensive sources in the collection were compiled by the Belgian ethnologist Jacques Maquet in 1949-1957. Maquet discusses the processes and rules that structured Rwandan society into a caste-like political system consisting of cattle owning ruling elites, Tutsi, a farming majority, Hutu, and a forest dwelling hunting minority, Twa. However, his arguments are strongly challenged by the works of three scholars, Mamdani, Catharine Newbury, and David Newbury, who do not view ethnicity as a primordial identity. The collection also includes four documents which, together, provide the earliest available firsthand information on the Rwandans: Czekanowski, who, in 1907-1909, collected a wide variety of information relating to history, language, and arts in the Mpororo region; the now classic work of John Roscoe, a European clergy who traveled extensively in central Africa; and van Hove, a Belgian colonial administrator and lawyer. Two documents from Christopher Taylor deal with ethnomedicine and diet, and the remaining three deal with the nature of the violence that swept Rwanda in 1994. The Rwandans encompass groups presently known as the Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa

    Keywords: Tanala (Malagasy people) ; Ethnology--Madagascar ; Captain Marshall Field expedition to Madagascar, 1926-1927 ; Tanala ; Tanala
    Abstract: This collection consists of a culture summary and one book. The book, authored by Ralph Linton, is based on his field work conducted in 1926-1927 and sponsored by the Field Museum. Although Linton was only among the Tanala for two months, he spent about one year and a half traveling throughout Madagascar, and as a result presents data on various other tribes of the island in comparison with that on the Tanala. The work is presented as a standard ethnography, with sections on tribal identification, economy, social organization, government, religion, warfare, amusement, art, life cycle, folklore, and a brief history of tribal wars. The Tanala, also called Antanala, are a Malagasy speaking people living in southeastern Madagascar, an island nation located off the eastern coast of southern Africa

    Keywords: Ainu ; Ainu--Medicine ; Ainu ; Ainu
    Abstract: This collection about the Ainu consists of 8 documents, all in English, including three books which were translated from Japanese. The collection contains a variety of cultural and historical information from two widely contrasting time periods. The first covers the years 1877 to 1924 when most Ainu were living in their traditional homeland in southern Sakhalin. The second is from the 1960s-1970s after the Ainu almost disappeared as a distinct group following their relocation in the Hokkaidō Island by the Japanese government during World War II. The oldest materials in the collection were compiled by Batchelor, an English missionary who lived among the Ainu for fifty years in 1877-1924; Pilsudski, a German ethnologist who conducted fieldwork there from 1895-1905; and Munro, an English physician who lived in Japan in 1900-1942. These works provide firsthand accounts of pre-relocation Ainu culture and society, covering religion, ceremonials, mythology, folklore, economic activities, life cycles, and health issues. Three of the books in the collection were authored by Japanese scholars focusing on Japanese conquest and assimilation of the Ainu (Takakura), ecological and economic effects of relocation (Watanabe), and features of Ainu kinship system (Sugiura). The remaining two books are by Ohnuki-Tierney, an American anthropologist who, in 1965-1969, sought to retrospectively reconstruct the "Ainu way of life" through extensive ethnographic fieldwork among elderly informants in Sakhalin. Ohnuki-Tierney's works, which also provide extensive review of previous works on the Ainu in Sakhalin, Hokkaidō and the neighboring islands, are the most comprehensive sources. Ainu people who lived in Kurile and the other islands taken over by the USSR during World War II are not covered in the collection

    Keywords: Carib Indians ; Indians of South America--Guyana ; Barama River Carib ; Barama River Carib
    Abstract: This collection about the Barama River Carib consists of two documents and a cultural summary that covers cultural, ecological, and historical information collected by professional anthropologists from the 1920s to the 1970s. The Barama River Carib are a small group of indigenous people located in the North West District of Guyana. John Gillin explores relationships between ecology and dominant features of Barama River Carib's social organization and personality as observed in the 1930s. Kathleen Adams studied this community some forty years later. Her work gives particular emphasis to changes observed in Barama River Carib's demography, settlement pattern, and semi-nomadic adaptation to the rain forest as they were being integrated into a national political economy by the Guyanese government

    Abstract: This collection of 23 documents about Indian Tamils, all in English, deal primarily with specific village surveys or regional studies in Tamil Nadu. No single document in the collection gives a general overview of all aspects of Tamil ethnography. Information regarding the caste and class organization of the Tamil is provided by Béteille, Sivetsen, Gough, Beck, and Mencher. Tamil economics is covered by Haswell and in the six south Indian village economic studies presented in Thomas, Ramakrishnan, Thirumalai, Natarajan, and Veeraraghaven. Also discussed are the status and powers of women in Tamil society, health and health policies in the village of Thaiyur, and social change in the village of Pulicat. The Tamil homeland is in southwestern India and is roughly equivalent to the modern state of Tamil Nadu. The Tamil comprise the vast majority of the population of Tamil Nadu and a good number of Indian Tamil also live in the small territory of Pondicherry, around the city of Bangalore, and elsewhere in India. The Tamil speak Tamil, a Dravidian language. Within villages, society is ordered by a hierarchy of castes

    Abstract: This collection consists of a culture summary and four English language documents dealing with the people and culture of Abkhazia, covering approximately 1864 to 1979. The study by Paula Garb is based on the memories of centenarian informants and goes back in time to the middle or late nineteenth century. They recount the transition from czarist fuedalism to capitalist development, early Soviet government, the formation of collective farms, World War II, and their opinions of modern (late twentieth century) Abkhazian youth. Benet focuses on various environmental and biological factors leading to extreme longevity of a large number of individuals in Abkhaz society. Other ethnographic topics discussed are kinship and kinship terminology, women's roles, marriage, sexual behavior, child-rearing practices, funerals, religion, and folklore. Dzhanashvili and Dzhanashia both deal in large part with Abkhaz religion, including gods, ceremonies, spirits of the dead, and holidays. Dzhanashvili also presents some general ethnographic information on social life (marriage, the fosterage system of the upper class), and some notes on mortuary practices. The Abkhazians mostly live in the de facto autonomous republic of Abkhazia located between the southwestern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains and a narrow strip along the Black Sea coast in the extreme northwest region of the Republic of Georgia

    Abstract: This collection about the Samoans consists of 15 documents and a culture summary, covering a wide variety of cultural and historical information from the1830s to the 1990s. The Samoans are Polynesian people who live on a group of small islands in the Central Pacific which constitute the territories of American Samoa and (since 1962) the independent state of Western Samoa. The earliest descriptions of Samoan culture and history were compiled by the missionaries John B. Stair and George Turner, who lived in different parts of the island from 1838-1945 and 1840-1880, respectively. Five documents are ethnographic accounts and essays by Margaret Mead who, in 1925-1928, lived among Samoans villagers mostly in the Manuan group of islands in American Samoa. One document revisits some of the major arguments advanced in Mead's works, notably her portrayal of adolescent Samoan girls as sexually permissive. The remaining seven documents in the collection further enrich the historical and cultural information on Samoa with additional themes and in-depth analysis including plant resources and indigenous botanical knowledge, traditional material culture, a socio-political analysis of the modern history of American and Western Samoa, post-war reconstruction of Western Samoa, material culture and social change, structures and processes in the Western Samoan Sala'ilua village, and recent changes in the economic options of households and individuals in Vaega and Neiafu villages in Western Samoa

    Abstract: This collection consists of three documents, all in English, containing information about the Vedda during three periods of time: 1850s, mid-1910s, and late 1960s. The first comprehensive ethnographic account of Vedda in this collection was compiled by C. G. Seligmann and B. Z. Seligmann. It provides a first hand account of Vedda kinship, village life, economic activities, settlement patterns, life cycles, religion, music, language and perceptions as observed in 1907-1908. Seligmanns's account is supplemented by James Brow's study of kinship and caste system among the Vedda of Anuradhapura district in the Northern Central Province of Sri Lanka. The remaining book in the collection was authored by John Bailey, a British colonial government official, and he covers a variety of information relating to settlement pattern, economic activities and religion. The Vedda are a small group of indigenous people living in the center of Sri Lanka, an island off the southern tip of India

    Abstract: This collection about the Tiwi consists of 11 documents and a culture summary, all in English. It covers a variety of historical, geographical, and cultural information from 1900 to the 1960s collected primarily by professional anthropologists and government officials. The Tiwi are aboriginal people inhabiting Melville and Bathurst Islands of northern Australia. Anthropologist Jane Goodale provides comprehensive firsthand ethnographic accounts of Tiwi society as observed in 1950s and 1960s. She describes major features of Tiwi society through detailed exposition of the experiences of individual women, men, and children in different groups (households, matrilineal sibs, phratries, and moieties) and a wide variety of social situations relating to puberty rites, marriage arrangements, and funeral ceremonies. Other anthropological studies included examine status manipulation and political behavior, art and religion, kinship and social organization, use of personal names, marriage contracts, puberty and initiation rites, economic activities, and division of labor by gender. There is little information on changes that might have occurred in Tiwi society after 1962 (the year Goodale visited the area for the last time) to the present

    Keywords: Bedouins--Arabian Peninsula ; Arabian Peninsula--Description and travel ; Folklore--Arabian Peninsula ; Bedouins--Saudi Arabia ; Saudi Arabia--Social life and customs ; Beduine ; Beduine
    Abstract: This collection of three documents and a culture summary, all in English, cover historical and cultural information from about late-1900s to mid-1970s. Alois Musil, a Czech historical geographer, traveled with the Rwala Bedouins between 1908 and 1915 working for the Austro-Hungarian government. His book provides first hand accounts of daily life, ethical codes, social structures and religious practices of the Rwala when they were still living in the desert as nomadic pastoralists. Carl Reinhard Raswan, a German adventurer, spent 22 years off and on among the Rwala Bedouins from 1913-1935. He presents detailed information on Rwala code of honor and ethics, drought and patterns of migration, marriage practices and duties of village Sheiks. Anthropologist William Lancaster conducted extensive ethnographic fieldwork among various Rwala groups in Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia in 1972-1975. Lancaster's work explores how Rwala families, lineages and Sheiks have changed over the past several decades in response to external forces, notably the division of their traditional homeland among four newly emerged sovereign states (namely, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq) and the oil boom in the region. This work also deconstructs travelers' reports and European imaginations of the Bedouin which tend to romanticize their desert life and "exotic" lineage systems. The Rwala are nomadic pastoralists who live mainly in southeastern Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia. They speak Arabic and refer to themselves as "baduw," that is, people of the "desert." All Rwala are believed to be descended from a common but unknown Arab ancestor. Their access to grazing land has been altered by the creation of nation-states in the 20th century and the establishment national boundaries across their customary migration routes. Since 1970 the Rwala have made more money from commerce and wage labor than from pastoralism

    Abstract: This collection of ten documents, three translated from the Chinese, provide historical, economic and cultural information about the Miao, circa 1920-2000. Most are based on fieldwork with different Miao communities in China during the late 1930s and early 1940s at a time when many Miao farmers actively participated first in the liberation struggle against Japanese occupation and later on during the "Long March" with the victorious Red Army. The earliest and most basic sources in the collection are by Graham which, together, provide a variety of cultural information including language, mythology, subsistence, dwellings, family life, kinship, village government, arts, religion and ceremonials. His focus on the Miao of southern Szechwan is complimented by Rui who provides a brief description of a subgroup called Magpai Miao. Four documents focus on different Miao groups living in Kweichow, Hunan, and Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Based on ethnographic data collected in the 1980s and early 1990s, when the Chinese government gradually opened rural communities to Western researchers and travelers, the two remaining works discuss the ways in which the cultures and identities of the Miao (and other minority ethnic groups) have been constructed and deployed since the 1949 and especially in the context of China's post-Mao economic reforms. The Miao are one of 56 non-Han Chinese people officially recognized by the government as minority nationalities. They are distinguished by language, dress, historical traditions, and cultural practice from neighboring ethnic groups and the dominant Han Chinese

    Abstract: This collection consists of nine documents, all in English, about the Mapuche. Titiev gives a good overall picture of Mapuche culture with special emphasis on sociopolitical structure and acculturation but only covers the period from 1930 to the late 1940s. Cooper's writing, based on secondary documentation, supplements the data in Titiev, particularly in regard to diversity among the various tribal divisions, and adds more historical background information. Latcham's account of Mapuche culture as it existed in the late nineteenth century is poorly organized, but provides many useful details on Mapuche life. Although its major focus is on childhood and child-rearing practices, Hilger's piece provides a wealth of information on the life cycle, material culture, subsistence activities, religion, kinship, political organization, art, and culture history of both Chilean and Argentinian groups of Mapuche. Faron deals with Mapuche social structure, religion, and morals; Baccara discusses the Mapuche ethnic resurgence in post-dictatorship Chile; and Nakashima Degarrond describes female shamanism among the Mapuche of Chile. Historically, Mapuche or "people from the land" was the term used to designate the Mapuche occupying the south-central area of Chile but now is the term used for all Mapuche. The Mapuche speak a language called Mapudungun, composed of several dialects

    Abstract: This collection about the Kpelle consists of 10 documents, covering a variety of cultural information, from the 1910s to the 1980s. German ethnologist Diedrich H. Westermann describes Kpelle environment, economy, language, family, social organization, religion and arts as observed in 1914-1915. His work is the oldest and by far the largest in the collection, though Gibbs provides a more general social and cultural summary of Kpelle based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 1957-1958. The remaining 8 documents are results of research concerned with specific issues and the focus of most of these studies was on rural Kpelle communities in Liberia. Kpelle communities found in cities (e.g., Monorovia) and outside Liberia (e.g., Kpelle of Guinea or Guerzé) are not covered. The Kpelle are the largest ethnic group in the West African nation of Liberia and a significant group in neighboring Guinea

    Keywords: Yoruba (African people) ; Yoruba ; Yoruba
    Abstract: This collection of 31 documents about the Yoruba covers the time period from 1880 to the 1960s. The book by anthropologist William R. Bascom (1969) provides comprehensive first-hand ethnographic accounts of Yoruba culture as observed in 1937-1938, 1950-1951 and 1965. Articles by Bascom discuss aspects of Yoruba culture and society including social structure, cult groups and divination, functions of local credit institutions, and food and cooking. Other anthropological studies include both broad ethnographic surveys, and relatively short manuscripts examining specific themes including political structure, lineage groups, kinship and marriage, class and economic differentiation, craft organization, land tenure and tenancy, urbanization and change, and divination, cult groups, witchcraft and dynamics of gender and religion. Also included in the collection are reports by a senior colonial government official and two missionaries. The collection focuses largely on Yoruba communities in Nigeria, except Parrinder (1947) who provides a brief ethnographic survey of the Yoruba in Benin (formerly Dahomey). Readers will also find useful information in Matory and Bascom (1969) relating to the influences of Yoruba religion and art forms on the cultures of peoples of African origin in the Caribbean, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States

    Keywords: Mossi (African people) ; Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)--Social conditions ; Mossi ; Mossi
    Abstract: This collection of 10 documents covers historical, cultural, and geographical information on the Mossi people from their first conquest by French colonialists in 1896/1897 to the emergence of Burkina Faso as an independent nation in 1961. The earliest account of pre-colonial Mossi culture and society in this collection was compiled by Mangin, a Catholic missionary who worked among the Mossi at the turn of the 20th century. Two documents focus on political and social structures as observed in 1908-1916 by Tauxier, a French colonial administrator with a long association with traditional Mossi leaders. The remaining seven documents were compiled by two American anthropologists, Skinner and Hammond, and are based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Ouagadougou and other parts of Mossi country mostly in 1954-1957. In one document Skinner discusses urbanization and modernization issues based on data and interviews from ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the 1964-1965 and later on in 1966-1969 when the author served as the Ambassador of the United States to Burkina Faso. The Mossi are a Voltaic-speaking people located mostly in the West African nation of Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta). The Mossi are historically noted for their empire, which lasted for at least five centuries until conquest by the French at the end of the nineteenth century

    Abstract: Recent trends and events worldwide have increased public interest in nonviolence, pacifism, and peace psychology as well as professional interest across the social sciences. Nonviolence and Peace Psychology assembles multiple perspectives to create a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the concepts and phenomena of nonviolence than is usually seen on the subject. Through this diverse literature—spanning psychology, political science, religious studies, anthropology, and sociology—peace psychologist Dan Mayton gives readers the opportunity to view nonviolence as a body of principles, a system of pragmatics, and a strategy for social change. This important volume:Draws critical distinctions between nonviolence, pacifism, and related concepts.Classifies nonviolence in terms of its scope (intrapersonal, interpersonal, societal, global) and pacifism according to political and situational dimensions.Applies standard psychological concepts such as beliefs, motives, dispositions, and values to define nonviolent actions and behaviors.Brings sociohistorical and cross-cultural context to peace psychology.Analyzes a century’s worth of nonviolent social action, from the pathbreaking work of Gandhi and King to the Courage to Refuse movement within the Israeli armed forces.Reviews methodological and measurement issues in nonviolence research, and suggests areas for future study.Although more attention is traditionally devoted to violence and aggression within the social sciences, Nonviolence and Peace Psychology reveals a robust knowledge base and a framework for peacebuilding work, granting peace psychologists, activists, and mediators new possibilities for the transformative power of nonviolence.

    Keywords: Ainu ; Ainu--Medicine
    Abstract: This collection about the Ainu consists of 8 documents, all in English, including three books which were translated from Japanese. The collection contains a variety of cultural and historical information from two widely contrasting time periods. The first covers the years 1877 to 1924 when most Ainu were living in their traditional homeland in southern Sakhalin. The second is from the 1960s-1970s after the Ainu almost disappeared as a distinct group following their relocation in the Hokkaid̄o Island by the Japanese government during World War II. The oldest materials in the collection were compiled by Batchelor, an English missionary who lived among the Ainu for fifty years in 1877-1924; Pilsudski, a German ethnologist who conducted fieldwork there from 1895-1905; and Munro, an English physician who lived in Japan in 1900-1942. These works provide firsthand accounts of pre-relocation Ainu culture and society, covering religion, ceremonials, mythology, folklore, economic activities, life cycles, and health issues. Three of the books in the collection were authored by Japanese scholars focusing on Japanese conquest and assimilation of the Ainu (Takakura), ecological and economic effects of relocation (Watanabe), and features of Ainu kinship system (Sugiura). The remaining two books are by Ohnuki-Tierney, an American anthropologist who, in 1965-1969, sought to retrospectively reconstruct the "Ainu way of life" through extensive ethnographic fieldwork among elderly informants in Sakhalin. Ohnuki-Tierney's works, which also provide extensive review of previous works on the Ainu in Sakhalin, Hokkaid̄o and the neighboring islands, are the most comprehensive sources. Ainu people who lived in Kurile and the other islands taken over by the USSR during World War II are not covered in the collection

    Abstract: This collection about the Samoans consists of 15 documents and a culture summary, covering a wide variety of cultural and historical information from the1830s to the 1990s. The Samoans are Polynesian people who live on a group of small islands in the Central Pacific which constitute the territories of American Samoa and (since 1962) the independent state of Western Samoa. The earliest descriptions of Samoan culture and history were compiled by the missionaries John B. Stair and George Turner, who lived in different parts of the island from 1838-1945 and 1840-1880, respectively. Five documents are ethnographic accounts and essays by Margaret Mead who, in 1925-1928, lived among Samoans villagers mostly in the Manuan group of islands in American Samoa. One document revisits some of the major arguments advanced in Mead's works, notably her portrayal of adolescent Samoan girls as sexually permissive. The remaining seven documents in the collection further enrich the historical and cultural information on Samoa with additional themes and in-depth analysis including plant resources and indigenous botanical knowledge, traditional material culture, a socio-political analysis of the modern history of American and Western Samoa, post-war reconstruction of Western Samoa, material culture and social change, structures and processes in the Western Samoan Sala'ilua village, and recent changes in the economic options of households and individuals in Vaega and Neiafu villages in Western Samoa

    Abstract: This collection consists of a culture summary and four English language documents dealing with the people and culture of Abkhazia, covering approximately 1864 to 1979. The study by Paula Garb is based on the memories of centenarian informants and goes back in time to the middle or late nineteenth century. They recount the transition from czarist fuedalism to capitalist development, early Soviet government, the formation of collective farms, World War II, and their opinions of modern (late twentieth century) Abkhazian youth. Benet focuses on various environmental and biological factors leading to extreme longevity of a large number of individuals in Abkhaz society. Other ethnographic topics discussed are kinship and kinship terminology, women's roles, marriage, sexual behavior, child-rearing practices, funerals, religion, and folklore. Dzhanashvili and Dzhanashia both deal in large part with Abkhaz religion, including gods, ceremonies, spirits of the dead, and holidays. Dzhanashvili also presents some general ethnographic information on social life (marriage, the fosterage system of the upper class), and some notes on mortuary practices. The Abkhazians mostly live in the de facto autonomous republic of Abkhazia located between the southwestern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains and a narrow strip along the Black Sea coast in the extreme northwest region of the Republic of Georgia

    Abstract: This collection about the Barama River Carib consists of two documents and a cultural summary that covers cultural, ecological, and historical information collected by professional anthropologists from the 1920s to the 1970s. The Barama River Carib are a small group of indigenous people located in the North West District of Guyana. John Gillin explores relationships between ecology and dominant features of Barama River Carib's social organization and personality as observed in the 1930s. Kathleen Adams studied this community some forty years later. Her work gives particular emphasis to changes observed in Barama River Carib's demography, settlement pattern, and semi-nomadic adaptation to the rain forest as they were being integrated into a national political economy by the Guyanese government

    Abstract: This collection of 23 documents about Indian Tamils, all in English, deal primarily with specific village surveys or regional studies in Tamil Nadu. No single document in the collection gives a general overview of all aspects of Tamil ethnography. Information regarding the caste and class organization of the Tamil is provided by B́eteille, Sivetsen, Gough, Beck, and Mencher. Tamil economics is covered by Haswell and in the six south Indian village economic studies presented in Thomas, Ramakrishnan, Thirumalai, Natarajan, and Veeraraghaven. Also discussed are the status and powers of women in Tamil society, health and health policies in the village of Thaiyur, and social change in the village of Pulicat. The Tamil homeland is in southwestern India and is roughly equivalent to the modern state of Tamil Nadu. The Tamil comprise the vast majority of the population of Tamil Nadu and a good number of Indian Tamil also live in the small territory of Pondicherry, around the city of Bangalore, and elsewhere in India.

    Keywords: Vedda (Sri Lankan people)
    Abstract: This collection consists of three documents, all in English, containing information about the Vedda during three periods of time: 1850s, mid-1910s, and late 1960s. The first comprehensive ethnographic account of Vedda in this collection was compiled by C. G. Seligmann and B. Z. Seligmann. It provides a first hand account of Vedda kinship, village life, economic activities, settlement patterns, life cycles, religion, music, language and perceptions as observed in 1907-1908. Seligmanns's account is supplemented by James Brow's study of kinship and caste system among the Vedda of Anuradhapura district in the Northern Central Province of Sri Lanka. The remaining book in the collection was authored by John Bailey, a British colonial government official, and he covers a variety of information relating to settlement pattern, economic activities and religion. The Vedda are a small group of indigenous people living in the center of Sri Lanka, an island off the southern tip of India

    Keywords: Arabian Peninsula--Description and travel ; Bedouins--Arabian Peninsula ; Bedouins--Saudi Arabia ; Folklore--Arabian Peninsula ; Saudi Arabia--Social life and customs
    Abstract: This collection of three documents and a culture summary, all in English, cover historical and cultural information from about late-1900s to mid-1970s. Alois Musil, a Czech historical geographer, traveled with the Rwala Bedouins between 1908 and 1915 working for the Austro-Hungarian government. His book provides first hand accounts of daily life, ethical codes, social structures and religious practices of the Rwala when they were still living in the desert as nomadic pastoralists. Carl Reinhard Raswan, a German adventurer, spent 22 years off and on among the Rwala Bedouins from 1913-1935. He presents detailed information on Rwala code of honor and ethics, drought and patterns of migration, marriage practices and duties of village Sheiks. Anthropologist William Lancaster conducted extensive ethnographic fieldwork among various Rwala groups in Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia in 1972-1975. Lancaster's work explores how Rwala families, lineages and Sheiks have changed over the past several decades in response to external forces, notably the division of their traditional homeland among four newly emerged sovereign states (namely, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq) and the oil boom in the region. This work also deconstructs travelers' reports and European imaginations of the Bedouin which tend to romanticize their desert life and "exotic" lineage systems. The Rwala are nomadic pastoralists who live mainly in southeastern Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia. They speak Arabic and refer to themselves as "baduw," that is, people of the "desert." All Rwala are believed to be descended from a common but unknown Arab ancestor. Their access to grazing land has been altered by the creation of nation-states in the 20th century and the establishment national boundaries across their customary migration routes. Since 1970 the Rwala have made more money from commerce and wage labor than from pastoralism

    Abstract: This collection of five documents and a culture summary, all in English, cover historical and cultural information from about late-1880s to early 2000s. Two documents date back to the first quarters of the 20th century when most of the area was ruled by European colonialists. One is a chapter from a handbook compiled by the intelligence division of the British Navy, the other is a book written by H. R. P. Dickson, a British political agent who worked in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq in 1920s-1930s. Dickson's book provides a first hand account of Bedouin culture and society including the physical environment, material culture, seasonal movements, organization of tribes and lineages, cultural norms relating to visiting and hospitality, folklore, religious beliefs and practices, warfare, and inter-community relations. The remainder of the collection consists of three articles, all by professional anthropologists. Two discuss indigenous conflict resolution practices with particular emphasis on blood feuds and cattle raiding. The remaining article explores the effects of a wide variety of external and internal factors, notably colonialism, commercialization of pastoral production, occupational change and sedentarization, on Bedouin culture and identity. The Bedouin are Arabic-speaking people who earn their living primarily from animal husbandry by natural graze and browse of sheep, goats, and camels. Traditionally, the Bedouin lived in tents, formed scattered camping units that seasonally migrated over a vast area of the Middle East and North Africa influenced by availability of pasture and water. This way of life and social organization has been significantly affected by the creation of nation-states in the 20th century and the establishment national boundaries across customary migration routes. As a consequence, the Bedouin have begun to engage in new activities including tourism, commerce and wage labor

    Abstract: This collection about the Samoans consists of 15 documents and a culture summary, covering a wide variety of cultural and historical information from the1830s to the 1990s. The Samoans are Polynesian people who live on a group of small islands in the Central Pacific which constitute the territories of American Samoa and (since 1962) the independent state of Western Samoa. The earliest descriptions of Samoan culture and history were compiled by the missionaries John B. Stair and George Turner, who lived in different parts of the island from 1838-1945 and 1840-1880, respectively. Five documents are ethnographic accounts and essays by Margaret Mead who, in 1925-1928, lived among Samoans villagers mostly in the Manuan group of islands in American Samoa. One document revisits some of the major arguments advanced in Mead's works, notably her portrayal of adolescent Samoan girls as sexually permissive. The remaining seven documents in the collection further enrich the historical and cultural information on Samoa with additional themes and in-depth analysis including plant resources and indigenous botanical knowledge, traditional material culture, a socio-political analysis of the modern history of American and Western Samoa, post-war reconstruction of Western Samoa, material culture and social change, structures and processes in the Western Samoan Sala'ilua village, and recent changes in the economic options of households and individuals in Vaega and Neiafu villages in Western Samoa

    Keywords: Yoruba (African people) ; Yoruba
    Abstract: This collection of 31 documents about the Yoruba covers the time period from 1880 to the 1960s. The book by anthropologist William R. Bascom (1969) provides comprehensive first-hand ethnographic accounts of Yoruba culture as observed in 1937-1938, 1950-1951 and 1965. Articles by Bascom discuss aspects of Yoruba culture and society including social structure, cult groups and divination, functions of local credit institutions, and food and cooking. Other anthropological studies include both broad ethnographic surveys, and relatively short manuscripts examining specific themes including political structure, lineage groups, kinship and marriage, class and economic differentiation, craft organization, land tenure and tenancy, urbanization and change, and divination, cult groups, witchcraft and dynamics of gender and religion. Also included in the collection are reports by a senior colonial government official and two missionaries. The collection focuses largely on Yoruba communities in Nigeria, except Parrinder (1947) who provides a brief ethnographic survey of the Yoruba in Benin (formerly Dahomey). Readers will also find useful information in Matory and Bascom (1969) relating to the influences of Yoruba religion and art forms on the cultures of peoples of African origin in the Caribbean, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States

    Abstract: This collection about the Tiwi consists of 11 documents and a culture summary, all in English. It covers a variety of historical, geographical, and cultural information from 1900 to the 1960s collected primarily by professional anthropologists and government officials. The Tiwi are aboriginal people inhabiting Melville and Bathurst Islands of northern Australia. Anthropologist Jane Goodale provides comprehensive firsthand ethnographic accounts of Tiwi society as observed in 1950s and 1960s. She describes major features of Tiwi society through detailed exposition of the experiences of individual women, men, and children in different groups (households, matrilineal sibs, phratries, and moieties) and a wide variety of social situations relating to puberty rites, marriage arrangements, and funeral ceremonies. Other anthropological studies included examine status manipulation and political behavior, art and religion, kinship and social organization, use of personal names, marriage contracts, puberty and initiation rites, economic activities, and division of labor by gender. There is little information on changes that might have occurred in Tiwi society after 1962 (the year Goodale visited the area for the last time) to the present

    Abstract: This collection of ten documents, three translated from the Chinese, provide historical, economic and cultural information about the Miao, circa 1920-2000. Most are based on fieldwork with different Miao communities in China during the late 1930s and early 1940s at a time when many Miao farmers actively participated first in the liberation struggle against Japanese occupation and later on during the "Long March" with the victorious Red Army. The earliest and most basic sources in the collection are by Graham which, together, provide a variety of cultural information including language, mythology, subsistence, dwellings, family life, kinship, village government, arts, religion and ceremonials. His focus on the Miao of southern Szechwan is complimented by Rui who provides a brief description of a subgroup called Magpai Miao. Four documents focus on different Miao groups living in Kweichow, Hunan, and Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Based on ethnographic data collected in the 1980s and early 1990s, when the Chinese government gradually opened rural communities to Western researchers and travelers, the two remaining works discuss the ways in which the cultures and identities of the Miao (and other minority ethnic groups) have been constructed and deployed since the 1949 and especially in the context of China's post-Mao economic reforms. The Miao are one of 56 non-Han Chinese people officially recognized by the government as minority nationalities. They are distinguished by language, dress, historical traditions, and cultural practice from neighboring ethnic groups and the dominant Han Chinese

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents covers historical, cultural, and economic information on the Rwandans, circa 1895 to 2004. The Rwandan culture has its roots in the precolonial kingdom of Rwanda and encompasses both the population of the modern state of Rwanda and speakers of the Kinyarwanda language in the neighboring Congo and Uganda. The basic and most comprehensive sources in the collection were compiled by the Belgian ethnologist Jacques Maquet in 1949-1957. Maquet discusses the processes and rules that structured Rwandan society into a caste-like political system consisting of cattle owning ruling elites, Tutsi, a farming majority, Hutu, and a forest dwelling hunting minority, Twa. However, his arguments are strongly challenged by the works of three scholars, Mamdani, Catharine Newbury, and David Newbury, who do not view ethnicity as a primordial identity. The collection also includes four documents which, together, provide the earliest available firsthand information on the Rwandans: Czekanowski, who, in 1907-1909, collected a wide variety of information relating to history, language, and arts in the Mpororo region; the now classic work of John Roscoe, a European clergy who traveled extensively in central Africa; and van Hove, a Belgian colonial administrator and lawyer. Two documents from Christopher Taylor deal with ethnomedicine and diet, and the remaining three deal with the nature of the violence that swept Rwanda in 1994. The Rwandans encompass groups presently known as the Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa

    Abstract: This collection consists of a culture summary and four English language documents dealing with the people and culture of Abkhazia, covering approximately 1864 to 1979. The study by Paula Garb is based on the memories of centenarian informants and goes back in time to the middle or late nineteenth century. They recount the transition from czarist fuedalism to capitalist development, early Soviet government, the formation of collective farms, World War II, and their opinions of modern (late twentieth century) Abkhazian youth. Benet focuses on various environmental and biological factors leading to extreme longevity of a large number of individuals in Abkhaz society. Other ethnographic topics discussed are kinship and kinship terminology, women's roles, marriage, sexual behavior, child-rearing practices, funerals, religion, and folklore. Dzhanashvili and Dzhanashia both deal in large part with Abkhaz religion, including gods, ceremonies, spirits of the dead, and holidays. Dzhanashvili also presents some general ethnographic information on social life (marriage, the fosterage system of the upper class), and some notes on mortuary practices. The Abkhazians mostly live in the de facto autonomous republic of Abkhazia located between the southwestern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains and a narrow strip along the Black Sea coast in the extreme northwest region of the Republic of Georgia

Cooper's writing, based on secondary documentation, supplements the data in Titiev, particularly in regard to diversity among the various tribal divisions, and adds more historical background information. Latcham's account of Mapuche culture as it existed in the late nineteenth century is poorly organized, but provides many useful details on Mapuche life. Although its major focus is on childhood and child-rearing practices, Hilger's piece provides a wealth of information on the life cycle, material culture, subsistence activities, religion, kinship, political organization, art, and culture history of both Chilean and Argentinian groups of Mapuche. Faron deals with Mapuche social structure, religion, and morals; Baccara discusses the Mapuche ethnic resurgence in post-dictatorship Chile; and Nakashima Degarrond describes female shamanism among the Mapuche of Chile. Historically, Mapuche or "people from the land" was the term used to designate the Mapuche occupying the south-central area of Chile but now is the term used for all Mapuche. The Mapuche speak a language called Mapudungun, composed of several dialects

    Abstract: This collection about the Barama River Carib consists of two documents and a cultural summary that covers cultural, ecological, and historical information collected by professional anthropologists from the 1920s to the 1970s. The Barama River Carib are a small group of indigenous people located in the North West District of Guyana. John Gillin explores relationships between ecology and dominant features of Barama River Carib's social organization and personality as observed in the 1930s. Kathleen Adams studied this community some forty years later. Her work gives particular emphasis to changes observed in Barama River Carib's demography, settlement pattern, and semi-nomadic adaptation to the rain forest as they were being integrated into a national political economy by the Guyanese government

    Abstract: This collection of five documents and a culture summary, all in English, cover historical and cultural information from about late-1880s to early 2000s. Two documents date back to the first quarters of the 20th century when most of the area was ruled by European colonialists. One is a chapter from a handbook compiled by the intelligence division of the British Navy, the other is a book written by H. R. P. Dickson, a British political agent who worked in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq in 1920s-1930s. Dickson's book provides a first hand account of Bedouin culture and society including the physical environment, material culture, seasonal movements, organization of tribes and lineages, cultural norms relating to visiting and hospitality, folklore, religious beliefs and practices, warfare, and inter-community relations. The remainder of the collection consists of three articles, all by professional anthropologists. Two discuss indigenous conflict resolution practices with particular emphasis on blood feuds and cattle raiding. The remaining article explores the effects of a wide variety of external and internal factors, notably colonialism, commercialization of pastoral production, occupational change and sedentarization, on Bedouin culture and identity. The Bedouin are Arabic-speaking people who earn their living primarily from animal husbandry by natural graze and browse of sheep, goats, and camels. Traditionally, the Bedouin lived in tents, formed scattered camping units that seasonally migrated over a vast area of the Middle East and North Africa influenced by availability of pasture and water. This way of life and social organization has been significantly affected by the creation of nation-states in the 20th century and the establishment national boundaries across customary migration routes. As a consequence, the Bedouin have begun to engage in new activities including tourism, commerce and wage labor

    Abstract: This collection of 23 documents about Indian Tamils, all in English, deal primarily with specific village surveys or regional studies in Tamil Nadu. No single document in the collection gives a general overview of all aspects of Tamil ethnography. Information regarding the caste and class organization of the Tamil is provided by B́eteille, Sivetsen, Gough, Beck, and Mencher. Tamil economics is covered by Haswell and in the six south Indian village economic studies presented in Thomas, Ramakrishnan, Thirumalai, Natarajan, and Veeraraghaven. Also discussed are the status and powers of women in Tamil society, health and health policies in the village of Thaiyur, and social change in the village of Pulicat. The Tamil homeland is in southwestern India and is roughly equivalent to the modern state of Tamil Nadu. The Tamil comprise the vast majority of the population of Tamil Nadu and a good number of Indian Tamil also live in the small territory of Pondicherry, around the city of Bangalore, and elsewhere in India. The Tamil speak Tamil, a Dravidian language. Within villages, society is ordered by a hierarchy of castes

    Keywords: Vedda (Sri Lankan people)
    Abstract: This collection consists of three documents, all in English, containing information about the Vedda during three periods of time: 1850s, mid-1910s, and late 1960s. The first comprehensive ethnographic account of Vedda in this collection was compiled by C. G. Seligmann and B. Z. Seligmann. It provides a first hand account of Vedda kinship, village life, economic activities, settlement patterns, life cycles, religion, music, language and perceptions as observed in 1907-1908. Seligmanns's account is supplemented by James Brow's study of kinship and caste system among the Vedda of Anuradhapura district in the Northern Central Province of Sri Lanka. The remaining book in the collection was authored by John Bailey, a British colonial government official, and he covers a variety of information relating to settlement pattern, economic activities and religion. The Vedda are a small group of indigenous people living in the center of Sri Lanka, an island off the southern tip of India

    Abstract: This collection about the Kpelle consists of 10 documents, covering a variety of cultural information, from the 1910s to the 1980s. German ethnologist Diedrich H. Westermann describes Kpelle environment, economy, language, family, social organization, religion and arts as observed in 1914-1915. His work is the oldest and by far the largest in the collection, though Gibbs provides a more general social and cultural summary of Kpelle based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 1957-1958. The remaining 8 documents are results of research concerned with specific issues and the focus of most of these studies was on rural Kpelle communities in Liberia. Kpelle communities found in cities (e.g., Monorovia) and outside Liberia (e.g., Kpelle of Guinea or Guerźe) are not covered. The Kpelle are the largest ethnic group in the West African nation of Liberia and a significant group in neighboring Guinea

    Keywords: Yoruba (African people) ; Yoruba
    Abstract: This collection of 31 documents about the Yoruba covers the time period from 1880 to the 1960s. The book by anthropologist William R. Bascom (1969) provides comprehensive first-hand ethnographic accounts of Yoruba culture as observed in 1937-1938, 1950-1951 and 1965. Articles by Bascom discuss aspects of Yoruba culture and society including social structure, cult groups and divination, functions of local credit institutions, and food and cooking. Other anthropological studies include both broad ethnographic surveys, and relatively short manuscripts examining specific themes including political structure, lineage groups, kinship and marriage, class and economic differentiation, craft organization, land tenure and tenancy, urbanization and change, and divination, cult groups, witchcraft and dynamics of gender and religion. Also included in the collection are reports by a senior colonial government official and two missionaries. The collection focuses largely on Yoruba communities in Nigeria, except Parrinder (1947) who provides a brief ethnographic survey of the Yoruba in Benin (formerly Dahomey). Readers will also find useful information in Matory and Bascom (1969) relating to the influences of Yoruba religion and art forms on the cultures of peoples of African origin in the Caribbean, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States

    Abstract: This collection about the Tiwi consists of 11 documents and a culture summary, all in English. It covers a variety of historical, geographical, and cultural information from 1900 to the 1960s collected primarily by professional anthropologists and government officials. The Tiwi are aboriginal people inhabiting Melville and Bathurst Islands of northern Australia. Anthropologist Jane Goodale provides comprehensive firsthand ethnographic accounts of Tiwi society as observed in 1950s and 1960s. She describes major features of Tiwi society through detailed exposition of the experiences of individual women, men, and children in different groups (households, matrilineal sibs, phratries, and moieties) and a wide variety of social situations relating to puberty rites, marriage arrangements, and funeral ceremonies. Other anthropological studies included examine status manipulation and political behavior, art and religion, kinship and social organization, use of personal names, marriage contracts, puberty and initiation rites, economic activities, and division of labor by gender. There is little information on changes that might have occurred in Tiwi society after 1962 (the year Goodale visited the area for the last time) to the present

    Abstract: This collection of ten documents, three translated from the Chinese, provide historical, economic and cultural information about the Miao, circa 1920-2000. Most are based on fieldwork with different Miao communities in China during the late 1930s and early 1940s at a time when many Miao farmers actively participated first in the liberation struggle against Japanese occupation and later on during the "Long March" with the victorious Red Army. The earliest and most basic sources in the collection are by Graham which, together, provide a variety of cultural information including language, mythology, subsistence, dwellings, family life, kinship, village government, arts, religion and ceremonials. His focus on the Miao of southern Szechwan is complimented by Rui who provides a brief description of a subgroup called Magpai Miao. Four documents focus on different Miao groups living in Kweichow, Hunan, and Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Based on ethnographic data collected in the 1980s and early 1990s, when the Chinese government gradually opened rural communities to Western researchers and travelers, the two remaining works discuss the ways in which the cultures and identities of the Miao (and other minority ethnic groups) have been constructed and deployed since the 1949 and especially in the context of China's post-Mao economic reforms. The Miao are one of 56 non-Han Chinese people officially recognized by the government as minority nationalities. They are distinguished by language, dress, historical traditions, and cultural practice from neighboring ethnic groups and the dominant Han Chinese

    Keywords: Mossi (African people) ; Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)--Social conditions
    Abstract: This collection of 10 documents covers historical, cultural, and geographical information on the Mossi people from their first conquest by French colonialists in 1896/1897 to the emergence of Burkina Faso as an independent nation in 1961. The earliest account of pre-colonial Mossi culture and society in this collection was compiled by Mangin, a Catholic missionary who worked among the Mossi at the turn of the 20th century. Two documents focus on political and social structures as observed in 1908-1916 by Tauxier, a French colonial administrator with a long association with traditional Mossi leaders. The remaining seven documents were compiled by two American anthropologists, Skinner and Hammond, and are based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Ouagadougou and other parts of Mossi country mostly in 1954-1957. In one document Skinner discusses urbanization and modernization issues based on data and interviews from ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the 1964-1965 and later on in 1966-1969 when the author served as the Ambassador of the United States to Burkina Faso. The Mossi are a Voltaic-speaking people located mostly in the West African nation of Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta). The Mossi are historically noted for their empire, which lasted for at least five centuries until conquest by the French at the end of the nineteenth century

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents covers historical, cultural, and economic information on the Rwandans, circa 1895 to 2004. The Rwandan culture has its roots in the precolonial kingdom of Rwanda and encompasses both the population of the modern state of Rwanda and speakers of the Kinyarwanda language in the neighboring Congo and Uganda. The basic and most comprehensive sources in the collection were compiled by the Belgian ethnologist Jacques Maquet in 1949-1957. Maquet discusses the processes and rules that structured Rwandan society into a caste-like political system consisting of cattle owning ruling elites, Tutsi, a farming majority, Hutu, and a forest dwelling hunting minority, Twa. However, his arguments are strongly challenged by the works of three scholars, Mamdani, Catharine Newbury, and David Newbury, who do not view ethnicity as a primordial identity. The collection also includes four documents which, together, provide the earliest available firsthand information on the Rwandans: Czekanowski, who, in 1907-1909, collected a wide variety of information relating to history, language, and arts in the Mpororo region; the now classic work of John Roscoe, a European clergy who traveled extensively in central Africa; and van Hove, a Belgian colonial administrator and lawyer. Two documents from Christopher Taylor deal with ethnomedicine and diet, and the remaining three deal with the nature of the violence that swept Rwanda in 1994. The Rwandans encompass groups presently known as the Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa

    Abstract: This collection of three documents and a culture summary, all in English, cover historical and cultural information from about late-1900s to mid-1970s. Alois Musil, a Czech historical geographer, traveled with the Rwala Bedouins between 1908 and 1915 working for the Austro-Hungarian government. His book provides first hand accounts of daily life, ethical codes, social structures and religious practices of the Rwala when they were still living in the desert as nomadic pastoralists. Carl Reinhard Raswan, a German adventurer, spent 22 years off and on among the Rwala Bedouins from 1913-1935. He presents detailed information on Rwala code of honor and ethics, drought and patterns of migration, marriage practices and duties of village Sheiks. Anthropologist William Lancaster conducted extensive ethnographic fieldwork among various Rwala groups in Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia in 1972-1975. Lancaster's work explores how Rwala families, lineages and Sheiks have changed over the past several decades in response to external forces, notably the division of their traditional homeland among four newly emerged sovereign states (namely, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq) and the oil boom in the region. This work also deconstructs travelers' reports and European imaginations of the Bedouin which tend to romanticize their desert life and "exotic" lineage systems. The Rwala are nomadic pastoralists who live mainly in southeastern Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia. They speak Arabic and refer to themselves as "baduw," that is, people of the "desert." All Rwala are believed to be descended from a common but unknown Arab ancestor. Their access to grazing land has been altered by the creation of nation-states in the 20th century and the establishment national boundaries across their customary migration routes. Since 1970 the Rwala have made more money from commerce and wage labor than from pastoralism

    Abstract: This collection about the Zuni, a pueblo Indian group located in the southwestern United States, consists of 33 documents. The collection is oriented toward traditional Zuni ethnography represented by the classic works of Stevenson, Cushing, Kroeber, Parsons, Bunzel, and Woodbury. The social and political organization of the Zuni are covered in Ladd, Eggan, Eggan and Pandey, and Pandey. Kinship is discussed in Kroeber, Schneider, and Ladd; and agriculture is covered by Cushing, Bohrer, and Damp. Acculturation and culture change are topics of focus in McFeat, Leighton, Mills, and Eggan and Pandey. Other ethnographic subjects covered in this collection are kachinas, family and household, and ceramics. Wyaco wrote an autobiographical account of growing up in the Zuni society, and Pandey critiques various anthropologists' work with the Zuni over the years. The Zuni, who call themselves "A shiwi," are primarily concentrated in the single village or pueblo of Zuni situated on a reservation in west-central New Mexico

    Keywords: Mossi (African people) ; Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)--Social conditions
    Abstract: This collection of 10 documents covers historical, cultural, and geographical information on the Mossi people from their first conquest by French colonialists in 1896/1897 to the emergence of Burkina Faso as an independent nation in 1961. The earliest account of pre-colonial Mossi culture and society in this collection was compiled by Mangin, a Catholic missionary who worked among the Mossi at the turn of the 20th century. Two documents focus on political and social structures as observed in 1908-1916 by Tauxier, a French colonial administrator with a long association with traditional Mossi leaders. The remaining seven documents were compiled by two American anthropologists, Skinner and Hammond, and are based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Ouagadougou and other parts of Mossi country mostly in 1954-1957.

    Keywords: Ainu ; Ainu--Medicine
    Abstract: This collection about the Ainu consists of 8 documents, all in English, including three books which were translated from Japanese. The collection contains a variety of cultural and historical information from two widely contrasting time periods. The first covers the years 1877 to 1924 when most Ainu were living in their traditional homeland in southern Sakhalin. The second is from the 1960s-1970s after the Ainu almost disappeared as a distinct group following their relocation in the Hokkaid̄o Island by the Japanese government during World War II. The oldest materials in the collection were compiled by Batchelor, an English missionary who lived among the Ainu for fifty years in 1877-1924; Pilsudski, a German ethnologist who conducted fieldwork there from 1895-1905; and Munro, an English physician who lived in Japan in 1900-1942. These works provide firsthand accounts of pre-relocation Ainu culture and society, covering religion, ceremonials, mythology, folklore, economic activities, life cycles, and health issues. Three of the books in the collection were authored by Japanese scholars focusing on Japanese conquest and assimilation of the Ainu (Takakura), ecological and economic effects of relocation (Watanabe), and features of Ainu kinship system (Sugiura). The remaining two books are by Ohnuki-Tierney, an American anthropologist who, in 1965-1969, sought to retrospectively reconstruct the "Ainu way of life" through extensive ethnographic fieldwork among elderly informants in Sakhalin. Ohnuki-Tierney's works, which also provide extensive review of previous works on the Ainu in Sakhalin, Hokkaid̄o and the neighboring islands, are the most comprehensive sources. Ainu people who lived in Kurile and the other islands taken over by the USSR during World War II are not covered in the collection

    Abstract: This collection about the Kpelle consists of 10 documents, covering a variety of cultural information, from the 1910s to the 1980s. German ethnologist Diedrich H. Westermann describes Kpelle environment, economy, language, family, social organization, religion and arts as observed in 1914-1915. His work is the oldest and by far the largest in the collection, though Gibbs provides a more general social and cultural summary of Kpelle based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 1957-1958. The remaining 8 documents are results of research concerned with specific issues and the focus of most of these studies was on rural Kpelle communities in Liberia. Kpelle communities found in cities (e.g., Monorovia) and outside Liberia (e.g., Kpelle of Guinea or Guerźe) are not covered. The Kpelle are the largest ethnic group in the West African nation of Liberia and a significant group in neighboring Guinea

    Keywords: Captain Marshall Field expedition to Madagascar, 1926-1927 ; Ethnology--Madagascar ; Tanala (Malagasy people) ; Tanala
    Abstract: This collection consists of a culture summary and one book. The book, authored by Ralph Linton, is based on his field work conducted in 1926-1927 and sponsored by the Field Museum. Although Linton was only among the Tanala for two months, he spent about one year and a half traveling throughout Madagascar, and as a result presents data on various other tribes of the island in comparison with that on the Tanala. The work is presented as a standard ethnography, with sections on tribal identification, economy, social organization, government, religion, warfare, amusement, art, life cycle, folklore, and a brief history of tribal wars. The Tanala, also called Antanala, are a Malagasy speaking people living in southeastern Madagascar, an island nation located off the eastern coast of southern Africa

Die Verfasstheit des europäischen Gemeinwesens tritt dabei zunehmend in Widerspruch zur Verfasstheit des sozialen Konstituenten von Herrschaft, der weder als 'Demos' noch als 'Volk' in einem gesamteuropäischen Entscheidungszusammenhang in Erscheinung tritt. Allerdings mündet die Konstitutionalisierung der EU in dem Postulat eines 'europäischen Demos' als Voraussetzung der Legitimität europäischen Regierens. Die daran anschließende empirische Frage lautet, inwiefern solche geteilte normative Erwartungshaltungen in die Existenz eines europäischen 'Demos' kommunikative Austauschprozesse über die nationalstaatlichen Grenzen hinweg anleiten. Im europäischen Verfassungsgebungsprozess werden die Standards für ein demokratisches und legitimes Regieren im Mehrebenens

    Abstract: Abstract: "Anders als in internationalen, insbesondere angloamerikanischen Wissenschaftsdiskursen ist die Soziologie der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung bislang im deutschsprachigen Raum noch kaum als eigenständiges Forschungsgebiet wahrnehmbar. Dabei haben gerade deutsche Soziologen wie Theodor Geiger, Gotthard M. Teutsch, und speziell die Begründer der Frankfurter Schule, Max Horkheimer und Theodor W. Adorno, schon früh in ihren Werken das komplexe Thema und die Implikationen des Verhältnisses zwischen Menschen und Angehörigen anderer Spezies untersucht. In kritischer Reflexion des Jahrtausende alten religiösen Anthropozentrismus, der in fast allen politischen und ideengeschichtlichen Strömungen der Moderne überdauert(e), betonen Horkheimer und Adorno aus materialistischer Sicht die elementaren Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen menschlichen und tierlichen Individuen.

    Abstract: Abstract: "Axel Honneth begreift das 'Wesen der Gesellschaft' als ein System von gestaffelten Anerkennungsverhältnissen sowie als eine 'institutionalisierte Anerkennungsordnung'. Die Erwartung sozialer Anerkennung fasst er der Form nach als menschliche Invariante, während sich die Inhalte der Anerkennung durch historische Variabilität und strukturelle Geprägtheit auszeichnen. Mit 'Liebe', 'Recht' und 'Leistung' arbeitet Honneth für moderne Gesellschaften theoretisch drei distinkte Formen von Sozialbeziehungen (Anerkennungssphären) heraus, in denen Individuen soziale Anerkennung erzielen können. Im Zuge von Modernisierungsprozessen, so etwa Voswinkel (2001), komme es zu einer Pluralisierung und Egalisierung von gesellschaftlichen Anerkennungsforen. Mit Blick auf Paarbeziehungen, die im Mittelpunkt unseres Vortrags stehen, gibt es empirische Hinweise darauf, dass durch die steigende Erwerbstätigkeiten von Frauen die Gültigkeit des männlichen Familienernährermodells samt damit einhergehender Sp

    Keywords: Kind ; Kinderzimmer
    Abstract: Abstract: "Die Arrangements, die um das Kind herum installiert werden, rekurrieren stets auf eine diskursiv produzierte Natur des Kindes. Die Naturalisierung der Kindheit stand und steht dabei ganz im Zeichen von Normierung, Disziplinierung und Individualisierung (nicht nur der Kinder) mittels Separation und Besonderung in speziell dafür vorgesehenen Räumen, genauer: Krisenheterotopien. Die Natur entsteht, indem die ihr zugehörigen Dinge mittels der Kategorien Zahl, Form, Proportion und Situation gerastert werden; damit geht eine Neutralisierung der Dinge und Verortung innerhalb eines Tableaus einher. Es entsteht eine Verengung des Sichtfeldes: Ein Blick, der den Raum ordnet. Das empirische Augenmerk liegt auf dem Kinderzimmer als einem Ort, an dem sich Sedimente europäischer Machtgeschichte abtragen lassen - Sedimente, die mit besonderem Blick auf die Semantik der Naturalisierung in den pädagogischen Bildern der tabula rasa, der terra incognita und des Masturbators verankert sind.

    Abstract: Abstract: Die "Inter-Generationen-Initiative" (IGI) vom deutschen Soziologiekongress in München 2004 wurde in Kassel weiter fortgeführt, indem eine Podiumsdiskussion über wissenschaftliche Karriereverläufe durchgeführt wurde. Akademisch etablierte Soziologen sowie eine Expertin des Wissenschaftsmanagements tauschten dabei ihre Erfahrungen mit jüngeren NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen aus, die sich auf unterschiedlichen Stufen ihrer Hochschullaufbahn befinden. TeilnehmerInnen an der Podiumsdiskussion waren: Prof. Dr. Jens Beckert (Direktor des Max-Planck-Instituts für Gesellschaftsforschung Köln), Prof. Dr. Uwe Schimank (Fern-Universität GHS Hagen), Dr. Birgit Klüsener (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, Bonn), Dr. Silke van Dyk (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena), Juniorprofessorin Dr. Marita Jakob (Universität Mannheim) und Dr. Torsten Niechoy (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen).

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die moderne Biologie, speziell Genetik und Neurobiologie, scheinen die handlungstheoretische Basis der Soziologie in Frage zu stellen. Widerlegen ihre neuesten Ergebnisse tatsächlich Axiome, deren Fortfall das soziologische Theoriegebäude einstürzen ließe? Diese Axiome beziehen sich auf unser Menschenbild. Diesem Menschenbild zufolge hat der im Prozess primärer und sekundärer Sozialisation geprägte Akteur sozial-kulturell geformte Präferenzen, die sein Handeln leiten, er ist offen für seine Umwelt und reproduziert in seinem Handeln kulturell vorgegebene Muster. Die moderne Genetik scheint das Verhältnis zwischen Natur und Umwelt, nature and nurture in der Bestimmung des menschlichen Handelns zugunsten der Natur zu verschieben. Bei genauerer Betrachtung bestätigt sich jedoch, dass der handelnde Mensch, der Mensch der Soziologie ganz überwiegend ein Produkt der Sozialisation in eine historisch geformte Gesellschaft hinein ist. Die Genetik definiert lediglich die äußerste Grenze sozi

    Abstract: Abstract: "Private intergenerationelle Transfers umfassen sowohl den Austausch finanzieller Ressourcen als auch die Bereitstellung von Unterstützungsleistungen im Bereich der Pflege von Familienangehörigen oder der Betreuung von Enkelkindern. Ausmaß und Determinanten dieser wechselseitigen Austauschbeziehungen sind - zumindest national - inzwischen breit dokumentiert und analysiert. Weniger klar ist bisher, ob die ältere oder die jüngere Generation stärker von diesen familialen Austauschbeziehungen profitiert und ob unterschiedliche Wohlfahrtsarrangements in diesem Punkt Unterschiede hervorbringen. In einem deutsch-israelischen Vergleich untersuchen die Verfasser zu diesem Zweck sowohl finanzielle als auch instrumentelle Hilfen zwischen Eltern und ihren erwachsenen Kindern. Möglich ist dies auf der Datengrundlage des Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), einer multidisziplinären komparativen Datenerhebung der Bevölkerung im Alter von 50 und mehr Jahren, die bereits 2004

    Keywords: Goffman, Erving ; Foucault, Michel ; Behinderter Mensch
    Abstract: Abstract: "Dass behinderte Menschen anders sind als 'wir Normalen' (Erving Goffman), wird üblicherweise nicht auf gesellschaftliche Einflüsse zurückgeführt, sondern auf gesundheitliche Störungen und Auffälligkeiten, die als objektiv feststellbare 'Naturtatsachen' angesehen werden. Entsprechend wird 'Behinderung' (disability) zumeist umstandslos mit 'Beeinträchtigung' (impairment) gleichgesetzt. In jüngster Zeit haben allerdings die Disability Studies darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass es auch im Falle von Behinderung keine unhintergehbare Natur gibt. Demzufolge ist Behinderung ein eher unscharfer Oberbegriff, der sich auf eine bunte Mischung von unterschiedlichen Merkmalen bezieht, die nichts anderes gemeinsam haben als das Stigma sozialer Abweichung. In das Spannungsfeld von Natur und Kultur gerät man auch, wenn man zwei Theorieansätze vergleicht, die zur soziologischen Untersuchung von Behinderung verwendet werden. Seit mehr als vierzig Jahren stellt die interaktionistische Stigma-Theorie von

    Abstract: Abstract: "Ausgehend von Bourdieus Konzeption der Somatisierung der Herrschaftsverhältnisse wird untersucht, inwieweit diese Denkfigur nutzbar gemacht werden kann, die Inkorporierung der sozial hergestellten Speziesdifferenz kritisch zu reflektieren. Zunächst wird gezeigt, wie sich die Wahrnehmung von Lebewesen als Gattungswesen 'Mensch' und 'Tier' an die von den legitimatorischen Stützkonzeptionen der Sinnwelten (Berger/ Luckmann) - hier v.a. von den Naturwissenschaften - bereitgestellten Schemata anlehnt; und wie dieser Rekonstruktionsprozess schließlich die interspezifische Macht- und Herrschaftsbeziehung naturalisiert. Der Körper ist sodann der Ort, an dem sich diese Strukturen (hier: die Herrschaft über Tiere) materialisieren (Paula-Irene Villa); denn den Wahrnehmungs- und Deutungsmustern entsprächen Handlungsprogramme, die bestimmte Körperpraxen evozierten. Es wird skizziert, inwieweit sich diese Programme auf unterschiedliche Weise den Körpern von 'Mensch' und 'Tier' einschreiben: Men

    Abstract: Abstract: "Der Körper nimmt für jugendliche Identitätsentwicklung eine zentrale Stelle ein, nicht zuletzt da dieser durch seine entwicklungsbedingten Veränderungen die Reifungsprozesse einläutet und diese nach außen hin sichtbar macht. So bilden der Körper und das Körperbild eine der wichtigsten Elemente des (adoleszenten) Selbstbildes (Flammer/ Alsaker 2002). In einer Gesellschaft, die als Inszenierungsgesellschaft beschrieben werden kann (Willems 1998), kommt dem Körper als Vehikel der Selbstdarstellungen besondere Bedeutung zu, was postmoderne Techniken der Körperoptimierung und Schmückung (z.B. Piercings) zum Ausdruck bringen. Betrachtet man das Internet, so kann dieser Raum als 'Theatralisierung der klassischen Monumentalmedien Bild und Schrift' (Sandbothe 1998) bezeichnet werden und bietet einen Bühnenraum für selbstbezogene Inszenierungen. So fungieren private Homepages im Internet als 'bounded regions' (Goffman 2001), in welchen sich Individuen ausschließlich dem eigenen Selbst und d

    Keywords: Soziale Ungleichheit ; Ungleichheit ; Land
    Abstract: Abstract: "Die Einkommensdifferenzen waren in den ehemals sozialistischen Ländern systembedingt deutlich niedriger als in den westlichen Gesellschaften. Insofern überrascht es wenig, dass sich die soziale Ungleichheit in den postsozialistischen Gesellschaften im Zuge der Transformationsprozesse zumeist deutlich erhöht hat. Die Vermutung liegt nahe, dass der Anstieg der Ungleichheit eine Folge des sich etablierenden marktwirtschaftlichen Prinzips war. Der Beitrag untersucht, inwieweit sich dieser unterstellte Zusammenhang im Transformationskontext nachweisen lässt. Entgegen der Ausgangserwartung findet man in ländervergleichender Betrachtung kaum Belege für diese These: Zwischen dem Grad der Marktliberalisierung (Privatisierung, Reichweite der Reformen) und dem Anstieg der Einkommensungleichheit gibt es keinen positiven Zusammenhang. Auch die unterschiedliche Integration der Länder in die Weltwirtschaft hat keinen nachweisbaren Effekt auf die Ungleichheit. Überraschenderweise sind es insbeson

    Abstract: Abstract: Die so genannten "Lebenswissenschaften", vor allem die Genetik und die Kognitions- und Neurowissenschaften, aber auch die Soziobiologie, werden gegenwärtig zu neuen wissenschaftlichen Leitdisziplinen und stellen nach Meinung der Autoren eine ernsthafte Herausforderung für den Erklärungsanspruch der Gesellschaftswissenschaften dar. Weder Bildung und Erziehung noch die damit eng zusammenhängenden Mechanismen der Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheiten in Arbeitsmärkten und Lebensläufen bleiben von dieser Entwicklung unberührt. Diese Bereiche werden derzeit von einem Trend erfasst, der sich mit dem Begriff der "Naturalisierung" bzw. "Re-Naturalisierung" kennzeichnen lässt. Die Soziologie hat auf das Erstarken naturalisierender Argumentationsweisen im Sozialen und auf die Herausforderung der Lebenswissenschaften bisher kaum geantwortet. In neueren Arbeiten zu dieser Thematik zeichnet sich jedoch eine vorsichtige Annäherung zwischen Soziologie und Lebenswissenschaften ab, wie die einzelnen

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die Soziologie der Verwandtschaft ist durch eine ambivalente Konzeptualisierung des Verhältnisses von biologischer und sozialer Verwandtschaft gekennzeichnet. Einerseits wird davon ausgegangen, dass Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse biologische Abstammungsverhältnisse sind, andererseits ist es ein Kernanliegen des Faches, den sozialen Konstruktionscharakter der Verwandtschaft nachzuweisen. Dies verweist auf die Notwendigkeit, ein soziologisches Konzept zu entwickeln, das das Verhältnis von biologischer und sozialer Verwandtschaft selbst zum Thema macht. Instruktiv für eine Soziologie der Verwandtschaft ist die für die Verhaltensbiologie zentrale Unterscheidung von ultimaten und proximaten Ursachen des Verhaltens: Die Erhöhung der Gesamtfitness eines Individuums ist der ultimate Mechanismus, der der in Tierpopulationen beobachtbaren Verwandtenpräferenz zugrunde liegt. Die Erklärung des konkreten Verhaltens ist dagegen eine Frage nach den proximaten Ursachen. Die Verhaltensbiologie kann z

    Abstract: Abstract: "In der Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung steht das Verhältnis von intentional handelnden Menschen und Technik im Mittelpunkt. Natur i.S. der körperlich-organismischen Natur von menschlichen (oder nichtmenschlichen) Primaten-Akteuren kommt nicht vor. Wenn man diese einbezieht, so ergibt sich eine weitere Komplikation, denn jetzt muss nicht nur das Verhältnis von Technik und Gesellschaft, sondern darüber hinaus auch das 'Körperlich-Organismische' im Verhältnis zum Technischen und Gesellschaftlichen bestimmt werden. Im Vortrag soll dargelegt werden, dass eine Theorie des Körpers das entscheidende Vermittlungsstück darstellt, das es überhaupt erst erlaubt, Technik und Gesellschaft systematisch aufeinander zu beziehen. Der Grundgedanke dieser These ist so einfach, dass er in der Techniksoziologie implizit als selbstverständlich vorausgesetzt wird. Sinnhaft handelnde Akteure müssen verkörperte Akteure sein, ansonsten wäre Technik für sie vollkommen überflüssig. Nur körperliche Akteure

    Abstract: Abstract: "Prostitution ist ein aktuell öffentlich vielfach aufgegriffenes Phänomen des Sozialen, bei dem die Körperlichkeit des Menschen in besonderer Weise im Zentrum steht, und das bis in die heutige Zeit ein ausgesprochen strittiges Thema geblieben ist. Trotz grundsätzlicher Legalität und zunehmend thematisierter 'Selbstverständlichkeit' stellt das prostitutive Geschehen bis heute gleichzeitig eine umstrittene, als 'anormal' bzw. 'amoralisch' geltende und weitgehend tabuisierte 'Grauzone' urbanen Lebens dar, die stets einer besonderen sozialen Kontrolle unterliegt. Feld-spezifische Kontrollmaßnahmen, die nicht nur von Ordnungsbehörden, sondern auch von einer breiten Öffentlichkeit und sogar von Teilen des Feldes selbst für sinnvoll bis zwingend notwendig erachtet werden, zielen dabei insbesondere auf eine Ausgrenzung des prostitutiven Geschehens aus dem sonstigen städtischen Lebensalltag.

    Abstract: Abstract: "Das Referat setzt an einem paradoxen Phänomen alternder Gesellschaften an. Weder der höhere medizinische und gesundheitliche Standard und dessen positiven Folgen für die Leistungsfähigkeit Älterer, noch die gestiegene Lebenserwartung führen zu einer 'natürlichen' Anpassung von Altersbildern. Im Gegenteil, momentan gehört 'Ageism' (Altersstereotype und zugehörige Diskriminierungen) zur Alltagskultur. Das Defizitmodell des Alters bleibt - wider lebensweltlicher Erfahrungen und wissenschaftlicher Befunde - offenbar deutungsmächtig. Im medialen Diskurs werden zudem die Prognosen der Demographen zu Vorhersagen von Naturkatastrophen stilisiert und damit eine Hysterie gegenüber Alterungsprozessen angeheizt. Gleichzeitig wird deutlich, dass ältere Arbeitnehmer nicht nur länger arbeiten könnten, sondern dieses nun auch als notwendig und erforderlich diskutiert wird. Daraus ergeben sich für die Soziologie des Alterns eine Reihe brisanter Forschungsfragen. Im Referat wird zunächst der Begrif

Die Problemdynamik findet ein reiches Betätigungsfeld vor. 2. Aktuelle Tendenzen des Problembetriebs. Die Körperrahmungen sexueller Handlungen werden heute in einem früher ungeahnten Maß öffentlich gezeigt. Die Bilderexplosion dient keineswegs nur einer Normalisierung; vielmehr betreibt sie eine Naturalisierung, die zu neuen Grenzziehungen anregen wird. Die Körperdimension befördert eine Biologisierung des Wissens. Dabei wird viel alter Wein (der von 1900) in neue Schläuche gegossen. Die 'alte' Biologisierung der Sexualität wird durch eine 'neue' abgelöst, die sich an Oberflächenmerkmalen der physischen Erscheinung festmacht. Das Sexuelle wird erneut biowissenschaftlich gerahmt. Das Verschwinden kritische

    Abstract: Abstract: "Das hier vorgestellte Forschungsprojekt untersucht vor dem Hintergrund der Europäisierung mit einer qualitativen empirischen Studie die Migration von deutschen Facharbeitern innerhalb der EU. Untersuchungsgruppe ist damit eine neue und zahlenmäßig wichtiger werdende Migrationsgruppe im europäischen Migrationsraum. Soziologische Forschungsergebnisse liegen dazu bisher kaum vor. Zentrale Ziele der Untersuchung sind die Erforschung der Migrationsgründe und der sozialen Netzwerke. Um diese Aspekte zu erfassen, wird eine Mehrfachbefragung ab August 2006 realisiert, mittels der die Migranten sowohl vor wie auch nach dem eigentlichen Migrationsereignis interviewt werden (insgesamt 70 berufsbiografische Interviews). Dieses Design ermöglicht, den Migrationsverlauf sehr detailliert nachzuvollziehen. So lassen sich die Migrationsgründe nicht nur zum Zeitpunkt der Wanderung, sondern auch möglicherweise davon divergierende Bleibegründe erfassen. Gleiches gilt für die Veränderung und Entstehung

    Abstract: Abstract: "Mit der EU-Erweiterung entstehen u.a. durch Migration neue soziale Zusammenhänge, die im Anschluss an Bourdieu sowie Pries (2001) und Faist (1998) als transnationale soziale Räume analysiert werden können. Voraussetzung des darzustellenden Forschungsvorhabens ist die Annahme eines spezifischen transnationalen sozialen Raums, der zwischen Ländern als EU-Beitrittskandidaten und EU-Staaten geschaffen wird - bzw. einem spezifischen sozialen Raum, der durch die Übergangsbestimmungen für neu aufgenommene Staaten strukturiert ist. Während dieser soziale Raum einerseits durch rechtliche Bestimmungen und Verordnungen definiert ist, wird er gleichzeitig durch Wanderungsbewegungen hergestellt. Dabei richtet sich das Interesse der Verfasserin besonders auf die Transnationalisierung gesellschaftlicher Arbeitsteilung unter den Bedingungen der EU-Erweiterungen sowie der Tertiarisierung der Arbeitsmärkte. Wie erfolgt in diesem neu geschaffenen, bzw. neu zu schaffenden, sozialen Zusammenhang die t

Die im Hinblick auf die Ad-Hoc-Gruppe relevanten Ergebnisse der Neurowissenschaften zeigen: der Verfasser vollziehen sehr schnell - zunächst nicht bewusstseinsfähige - emotionale Abmusterungen und Bewertungen der wahrgenommenen, uns einbettenden Welt (neurowissenschaftlich 'lokalisiert' in Amygdala, Hippocampus, etc.). Diese neurobiologisch beschreibbaren Emotionssysteme (Panksepp) ermöglichen Bewertungen der Welt, von Handlungssequenzen genauso wie von 'Naturdingen'. Seine 'emotionalen' Bewertungen lernt er in der Sozialisation sprachlich zu prädizieren. Soziologisch sind diese Bewertungen relevant, weil die gattungsspezifische Allgemeinheit der Emotionsorganisation den Rahmen zur innerartliche

    Abstract: Abstract: Der Verfasser befasst sich mit der Frage nach der soziologischen Begründbarkeit einer Grenze zwischen Sozialwelt und Dingwelt. Der Beitrag versucht, die theoretische Möglichkeit einer solchen Grenze innerhalb der Sphäre gesellschaftlicher Bedeutung bzw. sozialen Sinns zu verorten. Es geht um die Frage, ob Objekten und Praxen ein besonderer Bedeutungstyp zu eigen ist, der sie von der Bedeutung unterscheidet, wie sie die Lebenswelt als Sozialwelt kennzeichnet. So wird die Entgegensetzung zwischen einer Aufhebung des Objekthaften im sozialen Sinngebungsprozess und einer Hypostasierung des Objekthaften als der sozialen Deutung radikal entgegengesetzt vermieden. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass eine objektzentrierte Sicht nicht die Dinge als das Andere sozialer Bedeutung auffassen muss, dass ihre Bedeutung vielmehr als performativ und fiktiv gesehen werden kann. Objekten wird eine bestimmte Form gesellschaftlicher Bedeutung zugeschrieben, die sich in ihrer Konstitution, Struktur und Referenz von

    Abstract: Abstract: "Subjektivität hat Konjunktur. Die traditionell strukturtheoretisch orientierte Arbeits- und Industriesoziologie entdeckt das autonome, zumindest aber widerständige Subjekt und fragt sich, wie dessen Eigensinnigkeit innerhalb der gesellschaftlichen Strukturen zu verorten ist, die es doch eigentlich prägen. Gleichzeitig beobachtet sie die Betriebe dabei, wie sie Subjektivierung als Steuerungsmechanismus einsetzen und das, was bislang als störend galt, erfolgreich als Ressource nutzen: die individuellen Eigenschaften und Bedürfnisse ihrer MitarbeiterInnen. Die soziologische Theorie steht vor ähnlichen Problemen. Überraschenderweise lässt sich das strikt modelltheoretisch arbeitende Rationalprogramm davon irritieren, dass Menschen keine rationalen Akteure sind. Dies macht der Theoriebildung einerseits Ärger: Der Mensch verfügt weder über die kognitiven Kompetenzen rationaler Akteure noch über deren eindeutige Präferenzstruktur, Gefühle arbeiten auf ihre eigene Rechnung, Gesten und Rou

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die 'International Standard Classification of Occupations' von 1988 (ISCO-88) stellt das Instrument dar, dass für die Harmonisierung der Klassifikation von Berufen in der international vergleichenden Forschung verwendet wird. ISCO-88 ist ein hoch komplexes Instrument, das etwa 30.000 Berufe in 390 Kategorien für definierte berufliche Tätigkeiten abbildet. Vorgestellt wird das Ergebnis der Entwicklung eines für Umfragen in Deutschland einsetzbaren Instrumentariums zur computerunterstützten Feldverschlüsselung der Berufe nach ISCO-88. Das entwickelte Instrument bietet insgesamt eine vollständigere Vercodung, als dieses aufgrund der offenen Berufsbeschreibungen der Vercoder leisten kann. Denn die Selbstverortung durch die Befragten selbst ist etwa so umfangreich wie die Zuordnung der Angaben durch die Vercoder. Durch offene Restfälle und deren Zuordnung durch Vercoder lassen sich die nicht zuzuordnenden Fälle drastisch reduzieren. Damit ist das neu entwickelte Instrument nicht nur ko

    Abstract: Abstract: Das Vertrauen, mit dem der Ordnung der Moderne begegnet wird, beruht dem Autor zufolge auf dem Zusammenwirken von drei sehr unterschiedlichen Faktoren: auf der Kontrolle der Gewaltabstinenz unter den Gesellschaftsmitgliedern, auf gewaltfreier Interaktion als unterstelltem und institutionell garantiertem Normalfall und auf einer damit korrespondierenden Imagination. Dieses Vertrauen wird jedoch zunehmend in Frage gestellt und es werden Coping-Strategien von Temporalisierung, Spatialisierung und sekundärer "Verrätselung" angewendet, um Enttäuschungen zu verarbeiten, die die Moderne den Menschen hinsichtlich ihres Versprechens, gewaltarm zu sein, dauernd zumutet. Die theoretischen und methodologischen Probleme der Soziologie im Umgang mit der Gewalt verweisen vor diesem Hintergrund auf uneingestandene Enttäuschungen über die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung und es stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit die Phänomene, die eine Soziologie der Gewalt in den Blick nehmen sollte, mit den Grundlagen

    Abstract: Abstract: Der vorliegende Aufsatz entstand im Rahmen des Soziologischen-Theorie-Treffs einer Gruppe von Studierenden aus Bielefeld, die sich gründete, um auch außerhalb der Universität eine Plattform für Diskussionen über das Soziologie-Studium und fachbezogene Fragen zu haben. Auf dem diesjährigen Kongress der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie (2006) vertritt die Gruppe eine studentische Sichtweise auf das Fach Soziologie. Der vorliegende Aufsatz beschäftigt sich, ausgehend von der allgemeinen Erfahrung, dass das Fach auf Studierende oftmals diffus wirkt, näher mit der Frage, ob eine Ursache für das "Aufbrechen" der Soziologie bei ihrer Unterteilung in Bindestrich-Soziologien gefunden werden kann. Auf der Grundlage einer Befragung von 150 Lehrstuhlinhabern sowie einer Literatur- und Internetrecherche wird der Frage nachgegangen, was die starke Ausdifferenzierung der Soziologie in verschiedene Teilgebiete für das "Kernfach" bzw. die wissenschaftliche Disziplin und ihre Grundlagen bedeute

    Abstract: Abstract: Der Autor weist in Form eines persönlichen Erlebnisberichtes darauf hin, dass besonders Studienanfänger der Soziologie erhebliche Probleme haben, Fragen nach dem Wesen der Gesellschaft auf eine befriedigende Art und Weise zu beantworten. Fragen, die schließlich auf den zentralen Gegenstand des Faches abzielen, betreffen zum Beispiel auch die Wahrnehmung der sozialen Wirklichkeit und die Bedeutung von Gruppen oder sozialen Beziehungen. Der Autor problematisiert vor diesem Hintergrund die soziologische Begriffsbildung und setzt sich mit folgenden Fragen kritisch auseinander: Welche Ziele und Erkenntnisinteressen verbinden sich mit dem Vorhaben eines Studienanfängers, diese vermeintlichen Gegenstände der Soziologie begrifflich genau zu erfassen? Welche Art von Handlungen werden durch die Orientierung an solchem Wissen Teil der sozialen Wirklichkeit? Wie lassen sich solche Handlungen theoretisch begründen? Wie haben sich gesellschaftliche Prozesse im Zuge ihres Reflexivwerdens innerhal

    Abstract: Abstract: "Zahlreiche Analysen, die aus der Perspektive verstehender Soziologie, entweder in weberianischer oder aber in phänomenologisch fundierter Variante vorgelegt werden, bewegen sich auf einer sog. 'mikro-soziologischen' Ebene. Man sollte sich durch diesen Zuschnitt jedoch nicht täuschen lassen. Denn seine Begründung findet dieser keineswegs in irgendwelchen vermeintlichen Beschränkungen, die diesen soziologischen Perspektiven etwa inhärent wären, wie ihre Kritiker so gerne glauben machen wollen. Ihren Grund haben sie vielmehr ausschließlich im empirischen Material, dass die entsprechenden Untersuchungen zugrunde legen. Zudem, und darauf ist im vorliegenden Zusammenhang besonderes Gewicht zu legen, verbindet sich mit entsprechenden Untersuchungen jeweils ein strikter verallgemeinernder Anspruch. Denn wenn die von Schütz entwickelte Perspektive adäquat ist, dass soziale Wirklichkeit als Produkt des sinnhaften und sich wechselseitig regulierenden sozialen Handelns ist, dann müssen in jed

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die Grenzen konsumvermittelter Vergesellschaftung stehen schließlich in Stephan Voswinkels Vortrag im Mittelpunkt, der sich der Frage widmet, ob der Konsum, über die durch ihn faktisch bewerkstelligte Systemintegration hinaus, in der Lage ist, Anerkennung und institutionellen Status zu vermitteln. Damit wird der Konsum an einem wichtigen Kriterium für Sozialintegration gemessen, welches sowohl die ständischen als auch die durch Arbeit vermittelten Formen von Vergesellschaftung erfüllen konnten. Bezogen auf die Vergesellschaftung durch Konsum wäre hier zu fragen, inwieweit die zweifellos geschürten Hoffnungen auf Statusverbesserung und Anerkennung im Rahmen des Konsums faktisch einlösbar sind, oder ob sie fiktional bleiben müssen."

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die 'neue Netzwerkforschung' argumentiert, dass große soziale Netzwerke in unterschiedlichsten Kontexten (zum Beispiel das World Wide Web, Sexualkontakte, Koautorschaften) sehr ähnliche, hocheffiziente Struktureigenschaften aufweisen ('small world' oder 'scale free' Strukturen). Darüber hinaus werden diese Strukturen als das Resultat einfachster individueller Verhaltensmechanismen gesehen, die die makroskopische Struktur als unbeabsichtigtes Nebenprodukt individueller Beziehungswahlentscheidungen erzeugen. Die Verfasser behaupten, dass diese Forschung aus Sicht der Soziologie zwei Defizite aufweist. Erstens sind die verwendeten Verhaltensmodelle soziologisch wenig plausibel. Typischerweise werden mechanistische - oftmals an physikalischen Modellen orientierte - individuelle Verhaltensregeln angenommen und die zugrundeliegenden Motive individueller Beziehungswahlen nicht explizit modelliert. Die Modelle bieten daher wenig Einsicht in die Bedingungen der behaupteten Strukturresultat

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die Realisierung einer Praxis kollektiver und individueller Selbstbestimmung in den Gegenwartsgesellschaften hängt konstitutiv von der demokratischen Gestaltbarkeit sozialer Strukturen ab. Die Frage danach, inwiefern eine solche Idee der Selbstbestimmung praktisch zu werden vermag, inwiefern das Wagnis des Selbstregierens gelingen kann, entscheidet sich demnach daran, ob die politisch miteinander verbundenen, aber auch je für sich selbst belassenen Bürgerinnen und Bürger posttraditionaler Gesellschaften über die Bedingungen, die ihr Handeln flankieren, gestaltend verfügen können. Sollen die beiden miteinander verbundenen Dimensionen subjektiver und kollektiver Selbstbestimmung in einer institutionellen Befragungs- und Selbstbefragungspraxis zur Geltung gebracht werden können, dann ist eine prinzipielle Gestaltbarkeit mindestens derjenigen sozialen Strukturen notwendig, die die Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten subjektiver und kollektiver Selbstbestimmung tangieren.

    Abstract: Abstract: "Das neu erwachte Interesse an einer Körpersoziologie reagiert auf die Beobachtung, dass im Zuge gesellschaftlicher Modernisierung der Körper verstärkt zu einem herausgehobenen Repräsentationsmedium wird und sich als Mittel sozialer Distinktion 'vervielfältigt'. Damit reflektiert die Körpersoziologie den in der 'Erlebnisgesellschaft' (Schulze 1993) akzentuierten Körperbezug und greift den Zusammenhang zwischen Biografie, Identität und Leiblichkeit auf, dessen Krisenhaftigkeit am Beispiel chronischer Erkrankung besonders deutlich wird. Die körpersoziologische Sicht erhellt den Zusammenhang von Sozialisationsprozessen und medial vermittelten gesellschaftlichen Körperkodierungen. Das Konzept des sozial kodierten und des in milieuspezifischen Zusammenhängen eingebetteten Körpers sieht die Entwicklung des Selbst und der leiblichen Identität als Ergebnis des komplexen Zusammenspiels zwischen gesellschaftlichen Wertvorstellungen, Medien, normativen Zwängen und sozialen Interaktionen in de

    Abstract: Abstract: Der Autor erläutert in seinem Vortrag folgende These, aus welcher er eine Reihe von Prognosen und Spekulationen zur "medikalisierten" Gesellschaft ableitet: Der europäische Homo faber wird heute zusehends in eine Situation getrieben, in der es ihm nicht mehr erlaubt sein wird, von seiner natürlichen Konstitution wie von seiner Persönlichkeit so wenig zu wissen, wie es ihm gestern noch möglich war. Er wird zu einer kaum geahnten und doch gefürchteten Kenntnis von sich und zu Erwartungen gezwungen sein, weil solche Kenntnis durch die moderne Biotechnologie nunmehr möglich ist. Andernfalls würde der europäische Homo faber, der allzu ausschweifend von seiner Lizenz des Nichtwissens und der Eigenignoranz Gebrauch macht, umkommen und keine organisierte Gesellschaftlichkeit könnte ihm vom Sturz abhalten. Der Autor verdeutlicht diesen unbedingten Zwang zur Selbstkenntnis und damit zur Selbstverfügung anhand der raschen Entwicklung der Gentechnologie, insbesondere der In-vitro-Fertilisation

    Keywords: Totalität ; Gesellschaft ; Poststrukturalismus
    Abstract: Abstract: "Aktuelle soziologische Theorieentwicklungen lassen sich zunehmend unter dem Aspekt der Erosion eines systematischen Gesellschaftsbegriffs beobachten. Vorstellungen einer Totalität der Gesellschaft werden nicht nur infrage gestellt, sondern rücken spätestens in den neunziger Jahren zugunsten von Theorien in den Hintergrund, die entweder 'Gesellschaft' auf Konstruktionen von Individuen, auf subjektive Erfahrungen und mikrosoziale Interaktionen zurückführen oder diese aufgrund zunehmender Entgrenzungserscheinungen nicht mehr als ein, wenn auch zum Teil widersprüchliches und dynamisches, zusammenhängendes Ganzes betrachten. Diese Prozesse gehen soweit, dass man in postmodernen soziologischen Theorien sogar vom Ende des Sozialen (Baudrillard) spricht. Der Mangel eines systematischen Gesellschaftsbegriffs ist jedoch auch in Theorien zu finden, die vordergründig an 'Gesellschaft' festhalten (Stichwort: Risiko-, Wissens- oder Erlebnisgesellschaft etc.), aber nur einen Aspekt von Gesellsch

    Abstract: Abstract: "Ähnlich wie Indien, Südkorea und Taiwan weist auch die VR China eine zunehmend männlich dominierte Geschlechterrelation bei den Geburten auf. Hinzu kommt eine vergleichsweise hohe Sterblichkeitsrate weiblicher Säuglinge. Auf Grundlage der Auswertung von Zensusdaten (1982, 1990 und 2000) zeigt der Beitrag langfristige Tendenzen der Geburtenentwicklung und der Säuglingssterblichkeit aus geschlechtsspezifischer Perspektive auf und diskutiert ihre möglichen Ursachen und Wirkungen. Als Ursachen kommen u.a. in Frage: Staatlich kontrollierte Bevölkerungspolitik, Stadt-Land-Unterschiede und patriarchalische Denkmuster, nichtregistrierte Mädchen und statistische Unterzählung. Wirkungen sind möglicherweise in Form einer Zunahme der Zahl unfreiwilliger Junggesellen in Armutsgebieten und von Frauen- und Kinderhandel zu erwarten. Abschließend sollen die gesellschaftstheoretischen Implikationen dieser komplexen Dynamik von demographischer Steuerung, kulturellen und technologischen Faktoren in C

    Keywords: Generation ; Soziologie ; New York, NY ; Mannheim
    Abstract: Abstract: "Das Konzept der Generation erlebt derzeit eine große Renaissance, es wird bisher aber nur selten in der Wissenschaftsgeschichte angewendet. Dies ist erstaunlich, wenn man bedenkt, dass Mannheim selbst die Bedeutung von Generationseffekten für die Dynamik der Geisteswissenschaften betont. Was diese ihm zufolge von den Naturwissenschaften unterscheidet, ist gerade deren enge Verbindung mit der 'alltägliche(n) Lebenserfahrung'. Die Fruchtbarkeit der Anwendung des Generationenbegriffes in der Wissenschaftsgeschichte soll am Beispiel der Gruppe der New York Intellectuals (NYI) verdeutlicht werden. Zu dieser 'family' (Norman Podhoretz) von Intellektuellen zählten neben verschiedenen Schriftstellern, Literatur- und Kunstkritikern, Historikern, Philosophen und Theologen auch die Soziologen Daniel Bell, Nathan Glazer und Seymour M. Lipset, die sich während des Studiums am 'City College New York' (CCNY) kennen lernten. Die These lautet, dass dieser Kreis seine gemeinsame, generationsspezifi

    Abstract: Abstract: "In 'Das Parlament der Dinge' entwickelt Bruno Latour ein prozedurales Politikmodell. Die Einhaltung des Verfahrens soll gewährleisten, dass sich das 'Kollektiv' demokratisch zusammensetzt, was im Wesentlichen bedeutet, dass nichts und niemand im Voraus ausgeschlossen wird. Menschen wie nichtmenschliche Wesen sollen die Möglichkeit haben, in einem immer besser artikulierten Kollektiv zusammen zu finden - oder explizit ausgeschlossen zu werden. Innerhalb des Verfahrens sind insgesamt sieben Aufgaben zu bewältigen. Dabei ist weitgehend eine bestimmte Reihenfolge einzuhalten, wobei kein letztgültiger Abschluss gefunden wird, sondern Ende und Anfang wiederum ineinander über gehen. Der Vortrag überprüft, inwieweit sich dieses Verfahren als Methode (mit transdisziplinärem Potenzial) lesen lässt. Plausibel ist die Betrachtung unter methodischer Perspektive aus zwei Gründen: erstens spricht Latour selbst von einem experimentellen Verfahren und von Versuchsprotokollen, d.h. er betrachtet (a

    Abstract: Abstract: "Der Sozial- und Gesellschaftstheorie ist es keineswegs äußerlich, welchen Begriff des (menschlichen) Lebens sie zugrunde legt. Aus impliziten oder expliziten anthropologischen Annahmen resultiert je ein anderes Bild des Sozialen; sind je andere Phänomene für Vergesellschaftung grundlegend; hat die Gegenwartsgesellschaft je einen anderen Charakter; erscheint das Spannungsverhältnis von Leben und Gesellschaft je anders; wird je eine andere Gesellschaftskritik notwendig. Zu beobachten sind gegenwärtig mindestens drei Anthropologien, die in soziologischen Theorien vorausgesetzt sind: unter Rezeption der vitalistischen Lebensphilosophie die Historische Anthropologie bei Foucault, Deleuze, Agamben; unter pragmatistischer Rezeption der Evolutionsbiologie die Soziologische Anthropologie bei Mead und Claessens; unter Transformation des deutschen Idealismus die Philosophische Anthropologie bei Scheler, Plessner und Gehlen.

    Abstract: Abstract: "Wirtschaftseliten tragen zur gesellschaftlichen Definition sozialer Ungleichheit bei, indem sie ihre Leitbilder und Vorstellungen, z.B. über Ursachen und Lösungen sozialer Probleme, in die öffentliche Meinungsbildung einfließen lassen. Im Forschungsprojekt Wirtschaftseliten zwischen Konkurrenzdruck und gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung an der Universität Bielefeld wurden mit Hilfe von Leitfadeninterviews politische und gesellschaftliche Leitbilder von hochrangigen Führungskräften von Großunternehmen und Wirtschaftsverbänden in Deutschland untersucht. Ein Ergebnis der Interviewanalyse ist, dass Wirtschaftseliten soziale Ungleichheit als naturgegebenes, in allen Gesellschaften vorhandenes und auf ungleichen Begabungen, Leistungen und Leistungsmotivationen basierendes Phänomen definieren. Ähnliches gilt für die Ungleichheit der Geschlechter: Die geringe Anzahl von Frauen im Management beispielsweise wird von männlichen wie weiblichen Führungskräften dadurch erklärt, dass Frauen insbes

    Abstract: Abstract: "Ziel des Vortrages ist es, das vorherrschende Menschenbild in der Soziologie zu untersuchen und das Problem einer kritischen Begrenzung des Sozialen aufzuwerfen. Als Bezugspunkt soll dabei die Theorie von Plessner dienen, deren Nutzen sich dadurch für die soziologische Theorie erschließen lässt. Obwohl die Soziologie, die Weber entworfen hat, zumeist als Humansoziologie verstanden wird, die allein menschliche Handlungen und Interaktionen zu untersuchen hätte, wird bei genauerer Betrachtung die Gewissheit, dass der Bereich des Sozialen mit dem Menschen zusammenfällt, problematisch. Wenn man zugrunde legt, dass Sozialität nur als historisch kontingent verstanden werden kann, wird fraglich, wie der Bereich des Sozialen begrenzt ist und welche Wesen als soziale Subjekte infrage kommen können: Denn es mag für moderne Gesellschaften zutreffend sein, dass nur Menschen soziale Personen sein können; anzunehmen, dies wäre ein generelles überzeitliches Charakteristikum von Gesellschaft, sprä

    Abstract: Abstract: "Forschungsgegenstand ist die Entwicklung eines Modells zur Analyse komplexer Entscheidungsprozesse. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Modellierung der interaktiven Einflüsse zweier oder mehrerer Akteure auf die Entscheidung. Die Besonderheit des Modells liegt dabei nicht nur in der Ermittlung der unterschiedlich starken relativen Einflüsse der Verhandlungspartner auf das Ergebnis. Es lässt sich darüber hinaus der soziale Prozess, in dem die Entscheidung getroffen wurde und der zu der Entscheidung beigetragen hat, im Rahmen des Modells berücksichtigen. So kann mit dem Modell der Verhandlungs- bzw. Entscheidungsprozess zwischen mindestens zwei Akteuren in seiner Dynamik abgebildet werden. Als Basis zur Modellierung von Entscheidungsprozessen dient das von Sobel und Arminger entwickelte nichtlineare simultane Probit-Modell, das in verschiedener Weise verallgemeinert wird, so dass es auf unterschiedliche Entscheidungsprozesse (Multi-Actor-, Multi-Decision-, Multi-Wave-Design) angewandt werde

    Abstract: Abstract: "Die Betrachtung russischer Zeitvorstellungen bietet zahlreiche Erkenntnisse zur Natur und Funktionsweise dieses sozialen Konstrukts, da ihre Herausbildung unter Umständen der Uneindeutigkeit und Spannung zwischen verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Teilsystemen geschah. Diese Einflussfaktoren sind auch in der postmodernen Welt stark präsent und verändern bereits die westeuropäischen Zeitvorstellungen. Dies legt die Hypothese nahe, dass in der Zukunft sich die westeuropäischen Zeitvorstellungen den russischen annähern werden. In einer Studie (Schilling 2005), wurden als Kontrollgruppen Vertreter der russischen und der deutschen Kultur zu ihren Zeitvorstellungen befragt. Als Experimentalgruppen wurden die Grenzgänger (Deutsche, die in Russland leben und Russen, die in Deutschland leben) befragt. Ergebnisse der Studie belegen die Unterschiede zwischen russischen und deutschen Zeitvorstellungen, die Herausbildung neuartiger Zeitvorstellungen in Experimentalgruppen und zeigen Faktoren, di

    Abstract: Abstract: "Von einem vielstimmigen Chor von Neurowissenschaftlern wird seit gut einem Jahrzehnt das endgültige Ende des Subjekts proklamiert. Anders aber als die Poststrukturalisten, die zu Beginn der 70er Jahre Ähnliches verkündet hatten, stellen diese Wissenschaftler nicht den Diskurs, sondern das Gehirn bzw. genauer: das in den Gehirnschaltungen somatisierte Wissen als Urgrund und Ursprung menschlichen Tuns vor. Die Vorstellung einer 'personalen Identität' eines 'Ich', welches alle Handlungen entweder direkt mittels (rationaler) Entscheidung trifft, oder doch zumindest eine Stellungnahme zu Entscheidungen abgibt, ist dieser Deutung zufolge eine vom Gehirn geschaffene Illusion, die dem Organismus lediglich die - falsche - Gewissheit liefert, er selbst bzw. eine besondere Inneninstanz sei der Urheber und Autor jeglichen bewussten sinnhaften Handelns und Kommunizierens. Neurowissenschaftler glauben darüber hinaus, dass der Körper und das Gehirn eigenständig (also gleichsam 'hinter dem Rücken
