On Ethnographic Genre and the Experience of Communal Work with the Hutterian People
This paper takes the problem of describing Hutterite work as a point of departure to discuss several problematic aspects of ethnographic genre and writing. The analytic mode of ethnography when applied to Hutterians compounds the stereotype of a dour people so the author utilizes humour and pathos to describe Hutterites at work and moves throughout from description and dialogue to interpretation instead of from generalization to illustration as i…
On Crossing Borders And Boundaries: A Parallax View Of The Postmodern Experience
Death and grief on-line: Virtual memorialization and changing concepts of childhood death and parental bereavement on the Internet
‘Virtual memorials’ intended to memorialize the lives of children imply significant shifts in the conceptualization of death, particularly for grieving parents. Created by parents in memory of their deceased children, on-line memorials constructed using templates reflect strong cultural beliefs about the nature of childhood deaths, grief and the development of a kind of digital afterlife. Virtual memorials create a new social value for the deceas…

Aging and Dying in Cross-Cultural Perspective
Environmental Health Perspectives on the Consequences of an Ideology of Control in “Natural” Systems
Les anthropologues canadiens spécialisés en anthropologic médicale ou en ethnographie des autochtones habitant les régions minières du Nord ont peu étudié les changements que subit l'environnement de la planète et leurs conséquences sur la santé. Ils ont plutôt examiné les conceptions divergentes ayant trait aux soins de santé, soit la conception critique d'un système perçu comme fondamentalement dysfonctionnel et souvent iatrogénique, et celle, …

Gender, aging, and mortality in Hutterite society: A critique of the doctrine of specific etiology
He Died too Quick!” the Process of Dying in a Hutterian Colony
In contrast to the fast (and therefore supposedly ‘painless‘) “death ideal” of much of Western culture, Hutterites consider a slow and drawn out period of dying to be desirable. This extended period allows the dying person to socialize other Hutterians into a joyous acceptance of death's promise of a better heavenly life. The atypical behavior of members of a colony where a sudden death disrupted this pattern is described in this paper and 1) ill…
Red Ochre and Human Evolution: A Case for Discussion [and Comments and Reply]
This paper evaluates red ochre phenomena as a fossil indicator for developments of human capacities and red color choice in cultures. The archaeological record reveals that, from Early Palaeolithic to historical times, the collectors and users of red ochre have always been a distinctive minority (probable exceptions being the Magdalenian and Paleo-Indian peoples). Nevertheless, red ochre practices have persisted till the present, and the patterns…
