Some Implications of the Theory of the Particularity, or "Atomism," of Northern Algonkians [and Comments and Reply]
The article reviews the background of theories held on the organization of northern Algonkians, especially those relating to the persistence of "atomism" in the social organization and personality structure. It presents ethnohistorical and other evidence that protohistoric Algonkians lived in far more cohesive communities than is generally thought. The atomism theory is antithetical to theories of Morgan and the Marxists, especially to those conc…

The Notion of Magic
Social science contains two main traditions as to the nature of magic: With Tylor and Frazer, magic is superstition-an evolutionarily early stage of science, inadequate and misleading. With Durkheim, magic is immoral and anti-social: where religion solidifies the group, magic is individualistic. Both traditions thus proceed, not by an analysis of the lives of peoples where magic plays a significant role, but rather by invidious comparison with a …

The Magical World View
Ancient Judaism and the Protestant Ethic
Within ancient Judaism may be found development precursive to the Protestant ethic. Besides the hostility to magic, or disenchantment of the magical world view, these include: a collective religious discipline typified by a perception of time as the schedule of activities; an open or linear time perspective or "frozen" eschatology; an the need to create or establish one's personal identity as an heir to the divine blessings
Themes in Cosmetics and Grooming
Cosmetic and grooming practices are universal among human societies. These practices may be analyzed according to casualness and control, exposure and concealment, and plasticity and fixity. The modern brassiere illustrates the dialectic of exposure and concealment as well as the plastic manipulation of the body. Permanent waving illustrates the dialectic of casualness and control (manageability): the young girl exemplifies casualness in grooming…

The Vikings and the Rise of Capitalism
Max Weber asserted that the emancipating and rationalizing effect of Christianity made possible the rise of rational, burgeois capitalism in Europe. He implied that pre-Christian Europe was folkish and irrational. But the Viking literature reveals a remarkably individualistic and rational people, spiritually kin to Benjamin Franklin. Further investigation should reveal the respective influences in the rise of capitalism of indigenous, northern Eu…
