Un vistazo al Xoc Kin de los mayas de hoy
Un rasgo de la civilización Maya prehispánica que mucho llama la atención de los investigadores, es el sistema calendárico. Una característica del calendario de los Mayas fue su uso para pronosticaciones. Puesto que hoy en día se encuentran grupos de habla Maya que todavía utilizan un sistema calendárico para pronosticar el tiempo del año entrante, y puesto que desempeñan un papel importante en esto los especialistas rituales —h-mcn—, es de inter…

The Folk Illness Called Susto
Susto, a Folk Illness
Widespread throughout Latin America, susto is a folk illness associated with a broad array of symptoms. It is considered by susceptible populations to be a sickness caused by the separation of soul and body which is precipitated by a supernatural force. Most studies of culture-bound diseases have relied on descriptive approaches that focus on pathologies derived from medical textbooks. This study takes an interdisciplinary approach, looking for e…

The atomistic-type of society, which is the concern of the following papers, is a society in which the nuclear family represents the major structural unit and, indeed, almost the only formalized social entity. Interpersonal relationships outside of the nuclear family are characterized by contention, suspiciousness, and invidiousness. Moreover, these attitudes and behavior are normative. Observations of interpersonal relationships found in each of…
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…

Ethnopsychological approaches to Ojibwa history have focused professional attention on the persistence of relatively unimportant surviving remnants of Ojibwa culture and distracted it from more important contemporary sociological factors that …
