A cyber-ethnographic foray into GR&T internet photo blogs
Internet studies are rapidly approaching disciplinary status in academia (Silver 2006: 2). As ethnographers we find Internet cyber-culture(s) and social networking using advancing communication technologies to be provocative and relatively unexplored ethnographic topics. As Romani studies scholars we seek out research applications relevant to our specific interest in culture change among Gypsies (Romanies) and Travelers in the United States (GRT …
Exploring new worlds in American Romani Studies
Borrowing from Marshall Sahlins’s recent constructive criticism of anthropology, we examine some of the fundamental assumptions invoked in Romani studies since its inception. Utilizing interactions with the same groups of Roma over half a century allows testing those assumptions against actual fieldwork. We contrast the concept of romanía (‘Gypsyness’) with the scholars’ concept of ‘real Gypsy’ and document many changes in attitudes and practices…

A Biocultural Approach to Salt Taboos
Cultural behavior, when viewed as an extrasomatic adaptation for humans, alters previous interpretations of taboos as harmless placations of the supernatural. If the adaptive premise is true, then one may expect to find that taboos either have, or at one time had, an adaptive significance. This paper examines the salt and salt-containing-food taboos that were prevalent among the Indians in the southeastern United States during the early historic …
A Basic Demographic Unit [and Comments and Reply]
In common with other patrilineal band societies, the Australian dialectical tribe is a nonpolitical product of the system of face-to-face interactions characteristic at this economic level. The components of the density of communication, explored in another place, explain the cellular nature of the relatively homogeneous linguistic communities which are recognized by the natives as tribal units. The optimum or equilibrium population for such dial…
