  • Simplicity and complexity in anthropology

    Open AccessJohn Ingham, John M InghamARTICLEOn the Horizon The International…2007Cited by: 2References: 2

    Purpose This paper aims to o review understandings of complexity in anthropology. Design/methodology/approach A number of works in the field of anthropology are discussed. Findings Anthropologists generally agree that human behavior is complex, although they differ about the meaning of complexity. For many in this era of postmodernism, it involves emphasizing cultural differences and social contexts. Earlier interests in underlying cultural meani…

  • Matricidal Madness in Foucault's Anthropology: The Pierre Rivière Seminar

    Open AccessJohn Ingham, John M InghamARTICLEEthos2007Cited by: 1References: 32

    I consider how Michel Foucault avoids trauma and tragedy while emphasizing power and discourse in his study of a 19th-century matricide in the Normandy countryside. Drawing on Jonathan Lear's discussion of knowingness, I show how Foucault misreads tragic drama as well as psychoanalysis to emphasize power, pleasure, and discourse. While seeming to acknowledge tragedy, his emphasis on will to power, violent madness, and male agonism more closely re…

    The authors take issue with the critique of psychoanalysis and the depiction of human sexuality and incest avoidance in evolutionary psychology. Drawing on human neurobiology and evolutionary anthropology, they show that human beings have an evolved disposition toward pair-bonding and evolved capacities for self-regulation of sexual and aggressive impulses. The realization that these characteristics are not only important but also interrelated le…

  • Primal Scene and Misreading in Nabokov's Lolita

    John Ingham, John M InghamARTICLEAmerican imago2002Cited by: 3

    In one of the most mischievous novels in the English language, Vladimir Nabokov weaves an enigmatic tale about a precocious early adolescent and a middle-aged pedophile with "a fancy prose style." Humbert loves Lolita, or at least his artful image of her. Meanwhile, the mysterious Quilty, playwright and pornographer, shadows the mismatched couple and reads Humbert's mind. Humbert loses Lolita to Quilty. Eventually, Humbert catches up with Quilty …

    Open AccessJohn Ingham, John M InghamARTICLEComparative Studies in Society…1984Cited by: 6References: 26

    Many fixed and movable festivals in ancient Mexico were occasions for human sacrifice. The sun in particular was offered hearts and blood, ostensibly because its vitality and, therefore, life itself depended on such oblations. Numerous festivals also included ritual cannibalism, apparently because it was thought to facilitate communion with the gods

  • Are the Siriono Raw or Cooked

    Open AccessJohn Ingham, John M InghamARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist1971Cited by: 4References: 7

    In this paper Siriono myth and ritual are interpreted with a model of Siriono social structure. Whereas other students of the Siriono have noted their lack of sociability and have even suggested that their culture is incoherent, the present approach suggests that social exchange among the Siriono is a total social fact, but one that focuses on a peculiar relationship between men and women within a kinship idiom of parallel descent and matrilatera…

  • On Mexican Folk Medicine

    Open AccessJohn Ingham, John M InghamARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist1970Cited by: 39References: 20

    In this paper traditional medical beliefs and practices in a Mexican village are described and interpreted. The analysis focuses on the notion that health is a balance of hot and cold within the body. Several lines of evidence are used to reveal the metaphorical meanings of hot and cold, and these meanings are then seen to be related to structural features of peasant society
