Rivers and Kroeber in the Study of Kinship
Most of the nineteenth and early twentieth-century anthropological theory was largely devoted to attempts to write the evolution and/or the history of human culture and society. On analogy with geology, survivals constituted the most persuasive evidence on such questions. A fossil, or the tail on the human embryo, constituted concrete evidence and as such could be respected. Concerned to show that the elementary family, as he knew it in upper New…

Responses to Anna Grimshaw and Keith Hart's 'Anthropology and the Crisis of the Intellectuals
Critique et eloge de A. Grimshaw et K. Hart a propos de leur ouvrage « Anthropology and the crisis of the intellectuals ». Si le premier A. s'oppose a la critique effectuee a l'encontre des peres de l'anthropologie qui etaient trop lies au colonialisme, le second A. approuve Grimshaw et de Hart dans leur desir d'une anthropologie independante bien que cela soit un ideal pour l'epoque

Virgin Births and Sterile Debates
This article explores the anthropological debate surrounding new reproductive technologies (NRTs). It critiques the tendency within anthropology to focus on the sociocultural implications of NRTs through the lens of kinship, thereby neglecting the embodied experiences of women and the broader political-economic context. The authors argue that the focus on "virgin births" and the supposed disruption of traditional kinship structures obscures the c…

Ancient Society and Morgan's Kinship Theory 100 Years After [and Comments and Reply]
The synchronic, antievolutionary approach to kinship has made it impossible to grasp its nature and define it adequately. Understanding of the phenomenon is tobe found in the implications of Morgan's distinction between the classificatory and descriptive systems of kinship. These systems are based respectively on the tribal and family organizations, each giving rise to a different notion of kinship: one as recognition of common identity in a mate…

Kinship vis-à-vis Myth Contrasts in Lévi-Strauss' Approaches to Cross-Cultural Comparison
The enormous secondary literature which relates Lévi-Strauss' comparative studies to different schools of thought has failed sufficiently to emphasize the major discontinuity within his own work. This paper characterizes the basic methodological differences in his approaches to "kinship" and to "myth." It then suggests how, by concentrating on the kinship/myth distinction, we might constructively refine various structuralist concepts, such as dis…

Typhoons are common events in the Western Caroline Islands. They are well known and a chronic threat. How do a people faced with such a recurrent threat handle the situation? How do they prepare for typhoons? What do they expect from them? What do they do until the typhoon comes? What do they do during one and afterwards
The Nature of Kinship
This article critiques the prevailing anthropological understanding of kinship, arguing that the concept is rooted in Western cultural biases and does not adequately capture the diverse ways societies organize relationships. Schneider challenges the assumption that kinship is universally based on biological connections, proposing instead that it is a symbolic system constructed through cultural rules and classifications. He argues for a more flex…

Marriage, Authority, and Final Causes, a Study of Unilateral Cross-Cousin Marriage
Rethinking Culture
Culture as a concept has not been fully examined by the profession for some time. This article is a challenge to carry out this examination. It begins by discussing problems in the use of the concept and then goes on to suggest a new way of looking at culture: as a cultural pool, analogous to the gene pool (both culture and genes being forms of storing and retrieving information), from which each individual, each dyad, each group draws its partic…
Descent and Filiation as Cultural Constructs
This article challenges the conventional anthropological understanding of descent and filiation as natural, biological facts. Schneider argues that these concepts are cultural constructs, varying significantly across societies. He demonstrates how kinship systems, often interpreted through Western biological lenses, are actually based on culturally specific definitions of relatedness. By analyzing diverse ethnographic examples, Schneider highligh…

Reply to Ember
presented in New Orleans to a receptive audience of anthropologists and students of Hispanic culture attending the AAA's 1973 symposium on Spain. While I regret that they were not included in iQud Gitano!, I cannot agree that the deep song chapter should have been expunged because of its content. Deep song involves a temperamental element organic to Andalusian Gypsy culture. This element is intensely romantic and the writers attempted to present …
