Lines of Power/Limits of Language
This work examines the basic structures that determine the organization of knowledge and exercise of power in the postmodern world. Olsson promotes an agenda that integrates and transcends the limited/limiting language of mainstream social science and human action. By challenging the boundaries traditionally separating sociology, geography, political sciences, philosophy, literature and cultural theory, Olsson creates a new voice for the social s…

Questions in the Sacred-Cow Controversy [and Comments and Reply]
Contrary to Marvin Harris's hypothesis, desiccation and population increase in India following 1000 B.C. are highly unlikely to have been the origin of the Hindu ban on cow slaughter and beef eating. In many places in present-day India,"wild" and stray cattle are serious problem to farmers. The sacred-cow concept contributes to a significant waste of beef and inefficiency in cattle breeding. Homes for old cows are basically religious institutions…
Ecology, Evolution, and the Search for Cultural Origins
This paper examines the ecological explanation offered by Marvin Harris for the origin of pig prohibition in Islam, using the case to evaluate the functional-ecological paradigm and its treatment of cultural origins. Five majorpoints are addressed. First, a survey of the biological literature reveals that functional-ecological theory and evolutionary theory are distinct, but related. While functional ecology explains how systems work, evolutionar…

The seven brief essays appearing in this collection were, with a few others, originally written for a symposium held in Bergen in 1967. They bear the marks of a well-prepared and well-managed conference, although they are perhaps not quite so unified in their theoretical character as the editor's Preface might lead one to think. Each essay is worth very close study for what it says about a particular case or group of cases; and one ought to recog…

Indian Economic Life in Chiapas
T HE forms of economic organization, together with their geographic distribution, are obvious keys to differences in landscape, and set the limits within which particular geographic structures may develop. In many parts of the world, several distinct economies coexist in the same area, giving an opportunity for comparison of their respective geographic expressions. This is a description of one such area in which different economies occur side-by-…

Remarks on the Geography of Language
ANGUAGE exercises a decisive influence on the composition and distribution of intercommunicating social units-on who talks to whomand thus on the activities in which men are able to participate in groups. Without linguistic communication no organized social undertaking can proceed, and without a single, shared language such an undertaking becomes cumbersome and subject to many potential misunderstandings. There are only a few nations-for example,…
