The Melody of Speech
Research has shown that melody not only plays a crucial role in music but also in language acquisition processes. Evidence has been provided that melody helps in retrieving, remembering, and memorizing new language material, while relatively little is known about whether individuals who perceive speech as more melodic than others also benefit in the acquisition of oral languages. In this investigation, we wanted to show which impact the subjectiv…
Galois Representations and (Phi, Gamma)-Modules
Camorristi, Politicians, and Businessmen
"This work presents a detailed study of the political role of a criminal organization, the Neapolitan Camorra, in its historical context, that of Naples over the last fifty years. In Campania, until 1991, the population tacitly accepted the relationship between the Camorra and the local political elite (based on the exchange of votes for state contracts and protection), and because of the lack of reliable sources it could not seriously be studied…
Im Medium des Unbewussten
Als Erkenntnis- und Therapieverfahren existiert die Psychoanalyse seit über 100 Jahren. Sie hat sich in medizinischen, natur- und geisteswissenschaftlichen Kontexten entwickelt. Die Wissenschaftsphilosophie hat sich um die Erkenntnis der Eigenarten der Psychoanalyse kaum gekümmert, sondern sie in Schubladen unterzubringen versucht, wie denen erklärender oder verstehender Wissenschaften. Das Verhältnis von mündlichem und schriftlichem Wissen, die …

The Neural Basis of Individual Holistic and Spectral Sound Perception
With respect to enormous inter-individual differences in sound perception, this article aims to review the research background of the neural basis of individual sound perception. Principally, two basic listening types can be distinguished: 'holistic' or 'synthetic' listeners recognize the sound as a whole, and appreciate its pitch and timbre as characteristic qualities of the entire sound; and 'spectral' or 'analytical' listeners break up the sou…
Three experiential practices and their relation to psychoanalysis
The Anthropology of Crime and Criminalization
The ambiguity of the concept of crime is evident in the two strands of anthropological research covered in this review. One strand, the anthropology of criminalization, explores how state authorities, media, and citizen discourse define particular groups and practices as criminal, with prejudicial consequences. Examples are drawn from research on peasant rebellion, colonialism, youth, and racially or ethnically marked urban poor. The other strand…
Sicily
Substantial changes have transformed Sicily over the forty years that we have known it as anthropological fieldworkers. This essay draws particular attention to the appearance of industrial age technologies and related modernizing trends; to a dramatic decline in fertility with effects on family life and civic culture; and to the emergence of an antimafia social movement demanding effective police and juridical restraint of organized crime. It fu…
Mafia, Antimafia, and the Plural Cultures of Sicily
Sicily has long been represented in literature and in historical and social science texts as a place that is burdened by cultural values and practices that resist modernity: clientelism and corruption, familism, patriarchy, and lack of trust are said to condemn the island to backwardness. Sicilys association with the mafia adds a further negative image to these representations, an image of organized criminality that is conflated with Sicilian cul…
Didyma
Reversible Destiny
Reversible Destiny traces the history of the Sicilian mafia to its nineteenth-century roots and examines its late twentieth-century involvement in urban real estate and construction as well as drugs. Based on research in the regional capital of Palermo, this book suggests lessons regarding secretive organized crime: its capacity to reproduce a subculture of violence through time, its acquisition of a dense connective web of political and financia…
The Enron Scandal
On 2 December 2001, four days after its credit rating had been downgraded to junk bond status, the Enron Corporation of Houston, Texas, filed the biggest bankruptcy petition in the history of the United States. On the 14 March 2002, Enron’s accountants, Arthur Anderson, were indicted by a federal grand jury on the criminal charge of obstruction of justice for “knowingly, intentionally and corruptly” inducing employees to shred documents relating …

The Mafia and al-Qaeda
In the immediate aftermath of September 11, we circulated an essay outlining possible comparisons between the 1980s and 1990s repression of organized crime in Italy and Sicily and the pending repression of the al-Qaeda network. Distributed in several countries, and as a contribution to the Anthropological Quarterly's reflections on September 11, the essay elicited critical and provocative commentary. Respondents questioned, in particular, our neg…
Focus on the Alps”
Civil Society Versus Organized Crime
Based on fieldwork in Palermo, this article analyzes the city's antimafia movement in which the words 'civil society' have ample resonance. On the one hand, they convey an ecumenical meaning, suited to overcoming the otherwise polarized Communist and Christian Democratic political identities that anti-mafia activists inherited from the Cold War era. On the other hand, they evoke cultural hegemony, exemplified by antimafia initiatives in the publi…

Mafia, Antimafia, and the Question of Sicilian Culture
De tout temps qu'il y a eu une mafia en Sicile, il y a eu des intellectuels et des responsables qui ont cherche a analyser et a contrer ce pouvoir politique et culturel. Ces multiples voix antimafieuses se sont heurte cependant a un discours homogene que l'on pourrait nomme « sicilianisme », ou particularite culturelle insulaire. Le but de cet article est de presenter trois contributions du mouvement anti-mafia a l'opposition de ce discours sicil…

Modernization and Development
This paper is about social change in underdeveloped areas. It is based on field work in the European Mediterranean between 1965 and 1967. Hansen worked in the wine and champagne district of Villafranca del Panadés, roughly 30 miles from Barcelona, in Catalonia. The Schneiders were in the wheat and pastoral latifundium zone of Western Sicily. The two regions exhibit quite different patterns of land use and tenure, social stratification and settlem…

Demographic Transitions in a Sicilian Rural Town
Combining archival, ethnographic, vital, and oral historical data, this paper compares the experiences of population growth and demographic transi tion among different social classes of a Sicilian rural town from 1850 to the pres ent. Four locally named groups have dominated this town's social life during most of the period in question—gentry, artisans, landed, and landless peasants. Of particular concern are the contrasting patterns of demograph…
Honor and Conflict in a Sicilian Town
Interpersonal conflict is endemic in Western Sicily and frequently involves neighbors and close kin. There are structural reasons for this. In the competition for control of material and human resources, each actor is vulnerable to others, just as they are vulnerable to him, while the boundaries of private property and personal influence are either defined in struggle or remain ambiguous. The resulting system explains not only the frequency of in…

Coalition Formation and Colonialism in Western Sicily
Recently an evolutionary and international perspective has been applied to the study of nonindustrial areas which rejects the popular idea that all such places are, or once were, 'traditional' and will 'modernize' in much the same way that the West was once traditional and has modernized. This change in perspective requires that the nation-state give way to the more local region as a primary unit of analysis, so that we can examine the varied rel…

Rural artisans and peasant mobilisation in the socialist international
This article explores the conditions under which peasant cultivators and rural artisans participate in movements of social transformation, a case in point being the Fascio movement of Sicily in the late nineteenth century. It analyses the reasons why artisans could play a critical role in politicising local protest and articulating it with pan-European socialist movements, by describing their relations to other classes in a differentiated peasant…
From Autonomous Development to Dependent Modernization
In a recent essay in CSSH (16:1) Oriol Pi-Sunyer has joined in debate with our article ‘Modernization and Development...’ (CSSH 14:3). The thrust of his critique is that our model of social change in the Western Mediterranean leads us inexorably to lump Sicily and Catalonia together with respect to general social and economic developments since World War II. He argues in terms of modernization theory that Catalans long ago developed industry and …
