Introduction: World Fairs, Exhibitions and Anthropology
World fairs and exhibitions served as important venues for empires to showcase their industrial and technological achievements. Moreover, they also presented ‘civilisational models’ that portrayed Europeans as the most advanced and sophisticated and depicted the distant inhabitants as exotic and primitive. In portraying distant peoples, these contrasts were evident through their dress styles, dance, music, and performance of daily customs, but mo…
S pain, Anthropology in
This entry draws an outline of the history of anthropology and ethnology in Spain and the Hispanic world since the sixteenth century. It also provides a panoramic view of the institutionalization of the discipline in the twentieth century. It pays in this regard specific attention to the introduction of social and cultural anthropology in Spanish universities during the 1970s
European Anthropologies
In what ways did Europeans interact with the diversity of people they encountered on other continents in the context of colonial expansion, and with the peasant or ethnic ‘Other’ at home? How did anthropologists and ethnologists make sense of the mosaic of people and societies during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when their disciplines were progressively being established in academia? By assessing the diversity of European intellectual …
European Anthropologies
Mapping Europeanist Research
There are two meanings attached to the concept ‘Europeanist’ when applied within the boundaries of our discipline. The term can be used to refer to the practice of anthropology in Europe (e.g. Grillo 1980; Macdonald 1993). This usage primarily indicates the region where fieldwork and research is carried out, as when we label other such fields of anthropological practice ‘Africanist’ or ‘Americanist’. It is thus a mere indication of the regional f…
Aims and scope of the « Anthropology in Europe » project
Le but général de ce projet scientifique est de rendre compte du statut de l’anthropologie dans le monde académique et dans la société européenne d’aujourd’hui, et d’ouvrir une réflexion collective. Prenant le terme dans son sens étymologique, notre ambition est de traiter des quatre domaines de l’anthropologie, en couvrant le plus vaste champ possible des diverses traditions, écoles et branches de la discipline. Cependant, à cette étape du proje…

Domestic succession, property transmission, and family systems in the agrarian societies of contemporary Spain
The first part of this article consists of a critical assessment of a number of basic concepts that are used, rather loosely, in the study of kinship and the family in the social sciences. Drawing mainly from the anthropology of kinship, an argument is put forward in favor of the consistent and rigorous use of these concepts, if we are to make progress in the interdisciplinary and comparative study of family systems. The basic ideas elicited from…
Eldest and younger siblings in a stem-family system: The case of rural Catalonia
Une reconstitution généalogique de 1900 à 1970 des families de quatre paroisses de la municipalité de Gurb, au nord de Barcelone, sert de test pour vérifier la réalité du dicton catalan ‘L'aîné est l'héritier, le deuxième devient prêtre et le troisième avocat.’ On constate que les prêtres sont principalement des cadets et que le plus fort pourcentage de fils entrant dans les ordres appartient aux families de gros propriétaires fonciers. Par contr…
