Conocimiento y conducta
Los ocercanientos orientados fenomenológicamente en sociología, -de los cuales la etnometodología parece ser el único que ha superado las etapas de las declaraciones programáticas y metodológicas y ha producido estudios empíricos- derivan de la asunción de que la realidad social es construida a través de las actividades de la gente
The Metaphor of ‘Home’ in Czech Nationalist Discourse
Although all nationalisms share common features, each of them has also its own particular characteristics, determined by the historically specific context in which the nationalist ideology emerged and the specific circumstances in which it persists. Czech nationalism, like many aspects of Czech historical consciousness, crystalized during the period of conscious nation-building, referred to by the Czechs as the national revival and started at the…
Knowledge and Behaviour
Ladislav Holy argues in this paper that by virtue of the self-defining character of human activities, anthropological interpretation could proceed only on the basis of understanding indigenous categories and analysing activities in terms of those categories; imposition of outsiders ’ analytic categories onto local concerns wouldonly lead to confused analyses and the distorted representation of local systems of knowledge
The Little Czech and the Great Czech Nation
When Ladislav Holy precipitately left Czechoslovakia for the UK in 1968 he was already one of the leading anthropologists in Central Europe. In the following decades he made important field studies in Africa. Since 1986 he has been engaged in research in the Czech Republic, and he brings to this timely study of national identity the skills of a seasoned researcher, a cosmopolitan perspective, and the insights of an insider. Drawing on historical …
Anthropological Perspectives on Kinship
In this volume Ladislav Holy considers the extent to which overridingly Western assumptions have guided anthropological studies of kinship. This is the first introductory text on the subject to consider changes in the conceptualisation of kinship brought about by new reproductive technologies and the growing interest in culturally specific notions of personhood and gender. Holy reveals a growing sensitivity on the part of anthropologists to indiv…

The Structure of Folk Models
Kin Groups
The increasing tendency to ascribe important theoretical significance to the recent anthropological analyses to which Goody refers is a trend which is clearly observable not only in writings on kinship but in almost any other anthropological subject as well. It is a conscious or intuitive reflection on the present stage of the development of the anthropological discipline. This is a
