Behind the Scenes of Hollywood
Reproductive oppression is the control and exploitation of women, girls, and individuals through our bodies, sexuality, labor, and reproduction. This archaeological research utilizes intersectionality and praxis as analytic tools to uncover reproductive oppression in the past and embolden reproductive justice in the present. At the nineteenth-century Hollywood Plantation in southeastern Arkansas, the materiality of the past-census records, medici…
Professionalism in British Sociology
Discussions of the formation of a British sociological association began in 1950. Right from the start the issue of professionalism was on the agenda. The promoters of the new association were generally agreed that there should be a two-tier membership distinguishing those potential supporters who had technical qualifications – academic, practical, or publications – though not necessarily in sociology, from those who lacked qualifications and sim…
Intimate Archaeologies of World War II
Madonna del Prignioniero Prega per Noi”

“Provost Marshall General does not concur in the construction of outdoor dance floors at Monticello Internment Camp ... Outdoor dance floors would be of no use at an internment camp,” the brigadier general responded to the chief of engineers in 1943. Camp Monticello, located in southeast Arkansas, was an Italian prisoner of war camp constructed according to a set of standardized building plans. Despite the brigadier general’s insistence that Camp…
The Frequency of Divorce
This chapter discusses only one analytical concept, divorce frequency, and endeavours to show that this is better expressed quantitatively rather than qualitatively. It argues that, to be usable, quantitative expressions must be standardized and suggests various standardized procedures to be followed. Many writers have given qualitative statements about the frequency of divorce in the societies they describe. Many ethnographers have sought to giv…
Genealogies
In north India, the compilation of genealogies is the occupational prerogative of a special caste. In Samoa, genealogies formerly committed to memory are now recorded in notebooks. Two terms, 'genealogy' and 'pedigree', are often used interchangeably for statements of genealogical connexion, and 'genealogy' is also used as an abstract noun for the study of these statements. The collection of genealogies has long been regarded as part of the stock…

Evidence in European Asylum Procedures
This book forms part of the series, Immigration and Asylum Law and Policy in Europe, edited by Jan Niessen and Elspeth Guild, and is based on the doctoral dissertation of the author, presented in October 2011 at the University of Helsinki. The author works as a lawyer for the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities in Helsinki. The law stated is as at 1 December 2011. At the outset, the author makes clear that the aim is not to unde…
Classes sociales et réseaux dans une île de Norvège
L'article de l'anthropologue britannique John A. Barnes intitulé « Class and Committees in a Norwegian Island Parish » (1954) est généralement considéré comme un des premiers textes, sinon le premier, où la notion de « réseau social » est mobilisée. Barnes, parti à la recherche des formes de la stratification sociale dans une petite île de la côte norvégienne, y « découvre » un enchevêtrement complexe de relations sociales de travail, de parenté …
South Carolina's Tidal Rice Fields
South Carolina's tidal rice fields are significant historic and cultural landscapes. A critical piece of the cultural significance is continuity in the process of using the land. This essay provides an overview of how collaboration among historic preservationists, archaeologists, biologists, federal and state agencies, consultants, and plantation managers resulted in new methods of permitting work in historic tidal rice fields and new understandi…
Three Styles in the Study of Kinship
The study of kinship is a fundamental part of the study and the practice of social anthropology. This volume examines the work of three distinguished anthropologists that bear on kinship and determines what theoretical models are implicit in their writings and assesses to what extent their claims have been validated. The anthropologists studied are from France, the UK and USA: Claude Levi-Strauss, Meyer Fortes and G.P. Murdock. First published in…
Archaeology and Heritage of the Gullah People
As the landscape of coastal South Carolina changes due to development and tourism, important heritage and archaeology sites, including family cemeteries, fishing grounds, stores, churches, schools, and houses, face destruction. Archaeologists conducting research on Lowcountry sites in the state have generally considered their work to be on slave society in general, rather than on African or African-American peoples creating a cultural identity, a…

The Complete Works of Aristotle the Revised Oxford Translation
The Oxford Translation of Aristotle was originally published in 12 volumes between 1912 and 1954. It is universally recognized as the standard English version of Aristotle. This revised edition contains the substance of the original Translation, slightly emended in light of recent scholarship; three of the original versions have been replaced by new translations; and a new and enlarged selection of Fragments has been added. The aim of the transla…

Physical and Social Kinship
Although this note is prompted by the recent exchange between Gellner [2], [3] and Needham [4], I shall ignore the issues raised by Gellner's specification for an ideal language. I am concerned here only with Needham's statement that ‘biology is one matter and descent is quite another, of a different order’ which, it will be remembered, Gellner treats as Needham's first error. I write under a sense of obligation, for I discussed this matter with …
Mighty Sifts
Galton's problem arises from historical connection between societies, which makes the canon of statistical independence inapplicable. The resulting indeterminacy of sample size renders standard tests of statistical significance also inapplicable. In addition, replication might bias results. Seven solutions to Galton's problem have been previously offered, and we have found all of them invalid. Three of them suffer from what we have termed the "sy…
Theory Construction and the Sociology of the Family
Graph Theory and Social Networks
Concepts taken from graph theory and other branches of topology have been used by many sociologists and social psychologists, in particular Kurt Lewin and J. L. Moreno. Similar ideas have been used to construct statistical models of nervous systems, and these have been applied by J. S. Coleman and others to the spread of information and other social phenomena. The study of social networks by anthropologists has been based, knowingly or unknowingl…

Some Ethical Problems in Modern Fieldwork
1t / tANY PEOPLE maintain that social anthropology and other \/ empirically based social sciences would advance faster if they aL Tb iwere modelled more closely on the natural sciences or on mathematics. There are two parts to this view. On the one hand we are urged to use concepts and methods of analysis closer akin to those of the natural sciences, on the other we are told that we should collect our empirical data in what is thought to be a mor…
Time Flies Like an Arrow
It is scarcely a historical accident that two anthropologists who have made major but quite separate contributions to our understanding of human thinking have also made significant analytical use of the concept of time, have written at length about the relation between anthropology and history, and have sought to delineate the position of anthropological study itself in the intellectual and political history of our own civilisation. Yet though th…

Issues in the Ethics of Research Method
There is a pattern of elements within the Anglo-American structure of thinking and reasoning which affects methods of data collection, data analysis, and systems of information dispersion with respect to studies of non-Western cultures. An argument is built in this paper which maintains that: (1) These same elements hinder some Anglo-American anthropologists from studying their own cultures. They form a pattern which begins with the selection of …
Kinship Studies
J.A. Barnes's article, "Kinship Studies: Some Impressions of the Current State of Play," offers a critical reflection on the state of kinship studies in 1980. He observes a shift away from the structuralist paradigm dominant in the mid-20th century, marked by a decline in formal model-building and a growing interest in processual and empirical approaches. Barnes discusses emerging trends, including the study of kinship in complex societies, the i…

Indigenous Politics and Colonial Administration with special reference to Australia
In an age of crumbling empires, when many former colonial territories are becoming politically independent, it may still be instructive to study the processes by which empires and nations have been built up. What political forms have been involved and how have they been modified and developed? The new nations of Africa and Asia now emerging have political structures that bear a generic resemblance to the established democracies and dictatorships …
