Introduction to The semi-scholars , by Arnold van Gennep
Synthetic images
The factors constitute a steady image of the witch, but they are also to be found in the constitution of other images and institutions. For example, the relations and phenomena that we have just surveyed can be combined, with different semantic values according to the appositeness of the materials, into the image of a saint or a shaman. If mystical action at a distance is taken to be definitive, then this too is found in blessing and prayer and s…
Rethinking Kinship and Marriage
Remarks and Inventions
This volume scrutinizes the questions of conceptualization, method and history in the fields of kinship, social anthropology and structuralism. It puts forward a radical revision of the conventional approaches and criteria. Exploring analysis and method in the disparity between relative age and kinship categories as means of social classification, the book makes theoretical readjustments, largely inspired by the precepts of Wittgenstein.

Principles and variations in the social classification of Komodo
In recent years, thanks to the admirable linguistic studies carried out by Fr. J. A. J. Verheijen, it has become possible to make new progress in the plotting of prescriptive and composite systems of classification in wes tern Flores, and then to set the findings within a scheme of possible transformations covering much of Nusa Tenggara Timur (Needham 1980b; 1984; forthcoming). The publication of Verheijen's monograph (1982) on the island of Komo…

Structure and Sentiment. A Test Case in Social Anthropology
This article critiques Lévi-Strauss's structuralist analysis of kinship and marriage, specifically his interpretation of the "Murngin" (Yolngu) system of Australia. Raymond and Needham argue that Lévi-Strauss's approach prioritizes abstract models over empirical ethnographic data, leading to misrepresentations of Yolngu social organization and kinship terminology. They demonstrate how Lévi-Strauss's model fails to account for the complexities of …

Opening Paragraph In his admirable study of the Mugwe, a religious dignitary among the Meru of Kenya, Bernardi reports a singular fact which raises a problem of comparative and theoretical interest: viz. that the left hand of the Mugwe possesses and symbolizes his ritual power. The issue is best seen, to begin with, in the following passage: Among the Imenti [a sub-tribe] an unusual aspect of the people's conception of the Mugwe concerns his left…

Right and Left in Nyoro Symbolic Classification
Opening ParagraphThe aims of this analysis are: (1) to investigate a puzzle in Nyoro ethnography; (2) to support the theme of a forthcoming handbook on the symbolism of right and left; (3) to make a further contribution to the understanding of secular-mystical diarchy or complementary governance; and (4) to carry out a routine exercise in the structural analysis of symbolism, in a continuing attempt to isolate its general principles

Age, category, and descent
T he topic of this essay is the influence of relative age on the employment of categories of relationship and in the analysis of them.The investigation originated in plain empirical observations among small groups of forest nomads in the interior of Borneo, but the issues raised seem to have a wide theoretical significance for social anthropology. 1I

Death-names and solidarity in Penan society
I n a previous paper it was argued that there is a significant relation J^ between certain mourning-terms and social solidarity, and it was asserted that in the case of the Penan it was possible to prove this (Needham, 1959, p. 87).A demonstration was promised as to appear in a subsequent paper, which is now presented here. 1Its aims are to add to the ethnographic record concerning death-names among the Penan, and to establish a connexion between…

A structural analysis of Aimol society. (India) (Met 2 figuren)
T his analysis, which is based on publications concerning the Aimol of the Indo-Burma border, is part of a comparative study of societies practising prescriptive alliance, and is intended particularly to complement an earlier paper on the Purum (Needham 1958a).Like that paper, it is not confined to a technical examination of a certain form of social organisation, but is an exercise in "total structural analysis".Aimol society is nonetheless of co…
