  • Kinship and social organisation

    Open AccessW H R RiversBOOKKinship and social organisation2023

    W. H. R. Rivers's "Kinship and Social Organisation" is an anthropological work that examines the function of kinship terminology and its complex relationship with a society's social structure. The book argues that kinship terms do not merely describe biological relationships but also reflect important social arrangements, including rules of marriage, inheritance, authority, and mutual rights and duties. Rivers specifically posits that the origin …

    Oceanic languages often distinguish carefully between different kinds of brother- and sister-in-law, and, if it be found that it is only certain kinds of brother- or sister-in-law who are classed with the brother or sister, people may thereby obtain a clue to the nature of the process whereby the classing has come about. In most of the Melanesian cases in which a wife’s sister is denoted by a term otherwise used for a sister, or a husband’s broth…

    In the controversy of the present and of recent times, it is the special mode of denoting relationship known as the classificatory system which has formed the chief subject of discussion. The essential feature of the classificatory system, that to which it owes its name, is the application of its terms, not to single individual persons, but to classes of relatives which may often be very large. Objections have been made to the use of the term ‘cl…

  • The Genealogical Method of Anthropological Inquiry

    W H R RiversCHAPTERKinship and Social Organisation2021

    It is a familiar fact that many peoples preserve long pedigrees of their ancestors, going back for many generations and often shading off into the mythical. It is perhaps not so well known that most people of low culture preserve orally their pedigrees for several generations in all the collateral lines so that they can give in genealogical form all the descendants of the great-grandfather or of the great-great-grandfather and therefore know full…

    The systems of relationship of the Banks Islands possess certain very remarkable features which were first recorded by Dr. Codrington. Put very shortly, it may be stated that cross-cousins stand to one another in the relation of parent and child, or, more exactly, cross-cousins apply to one another terms of relationship which are otherwise used between parents and children. Since the first group of correspondences had been explained by a marriage…

  • Kinship and Social Organisation (Routledge Revivals)

    W H R RiversBOOKKinship and Social Organisation…2012

    First published in 1914, W. H. R. Rivers' hugely influential study was the first to effectively demonstrate the close connection between methods of denoting relationship or kinship and forms of social organisation, including those based on different forms of the institution of marriage. He also shows that the terminology of relationship has been rigorously determined by social conditions and that, therefore, systems of relationship furnish us wit…
