Mexico's Sierra Tarahumara
The Tarahumara, people of the edge, live on the boundaries of civilization, in the mountains and canyonlands of Mexico's Sierra Tarahumara. There, in southwestern Chihuahua, terrain terminates at the edge of canyons; their mountains border the sky. In these pages, words by W. Dirk Raat and images by George R. Janecek, is testimony to the endurance of the Tarahumara people.Today, roughly fifty thousand Tarahumaras continue living in ways similar t…
The Academy as Marketplace
As the university becomes tied to the world of work, the professor - at least in the natural and some of the social sciences - takes on the characteristics of an entrepreneur. (Clark Kerr, quoted in Harrington 1969: 142

The Good Families of Barcelona
Town, Country, and Nation
An interpretation of culture and politics in Catalonia requires that we examine with special care such concepts as ethnicity and state. The anthropologist working in a changing complex society should also be conscious of the degree to which specific times, places, and situations do much to define the nature of the fieldwork process.

The 1977 Parliamentary Elections in Barcelona
This paper examines the post-Franco political transition in Spain after nearly 40 years of dictatorial rule. The 1977parliamentary election-is analysed as a series of fine gradations in political action and behavior exemplified by the use (or non-use) of certain primordial themes and symbols. A case study of Catalonia the only region where a combination of ethnic nationalism and left-of-center ideologies proved unbeatable) shows the problems inhe…

Tourism as an Anthropological Subject [and Comments and Reply]
This paper provides a critical evaluationof the growing number of anthropologically oriented studies of tourism and proposes a conceptual framework for future studies. A cross-culturally viable definition of tourism is offered. This definition, which conceives of the tourist as a person at leisure who travels and of tourism as a variety of leisure activity, suggest a transactional view of tourism that involves an encounter between tourist-generat…
Contemporary Change in Traditional Communities of Mexico and Peru
Infrastructures, Societies, and History [and Comments]
The paper deals with the so-called problem of the dominance of superstructures-kinship, religion, politics-and supports the view that kinship or religion dominates social organization and the thought of social actors when it functions as relations of production and as framework for material action upon nature. Consequently, it becomes impossible to oppose the dominance of kinship, religion, or politics to the hypothesis that everything is ultimat…
Political Humor in a Dictatorial State
Political humor is examined as a response of individuals to the conditions typical of dictatorial regimes. The trading of jokes and stories with anti-regime content helps to mitigate anxiety and the sense of helplessness encountered in highly controlled political contexts. Furthermore, the joke-teller engages in a form of nonviolent resistance that is difficult to counteract by the agencies of state authority. Material for this essay is drawn fro…
Of Corporate Groups and Vanishing Development
I suggest that the reader sufficiently interested in our debate on Catalonia consult the two original essays; in this reply to a reply, I will cover only so much of the old ground as is necessary for a rejoinder. ‘From Autonomous Development to Dependent Modernization ...’ badly misrepresents some of my observations, essentially denies some of the statements made by Hansen and the Schneiders in their initial essay, injects new elements into the d…
Occupational Images and Ethnicity
The anthropological study of complex societies raises a number of theoretical and methodological questions that are not adequately resolved by traditional approaches geared to the investigation of simple societies or peasant communities. Techniques of sociological investigation may prove of value in the analysis and comparison of literate societies or segments of such societies. In this paper, we examine the occupational images evidenced by a sam…
Elites and Noncorporate Groups in the European Mediterranean
In a recent article in this journal, Peter Schneider, Jane Schneider and Edward Hansen (1972) examine the role of regional elites and noncorporate groups in the European Mediterranean and proceed to elaborate a model that should allow us to understand more clearly the dynamics of social and economic change in underdeveloped peripheral regions. The two areas which they have selected for detailed consideration, and which consequently form the empir…
The historiography of Américo Castro
This paper is written from a particular, and perhaps rather limited, perspective. I am not a historian, but, together with many other anthropologists, I have been drawn to the study of history and those who write it. The reasons are several, and they all have a bearing on why an anthropologist should concern himself with the historiography of a leading Spanish scholar. In the first place, as contemporary anthropology has steadily turned its atten…

Acculturation as an Explanatory Concept in Spanish History
This essay can best be considered an anthropological venture in the field of recent and contemporary Spanish historiography. Our aim is twofold: an understanding of the nature of Spanish historical interpretation as it is elaborated by national historians; the examination of certain phases of intercultural contact critical in the formation of a distinct Spanish cultural form
