  • Symbolic Dimensions in Cultural Anthropology [and Comments and Reply]

    Mark K Taylor, Mario Bunge et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1985Cited by: 3References: 11

    Using the hermeneutical theory of Paul Ricoeur, it is possible to discern symbolic dimensions in cultural anthropology. Symbols, here, are dominant images in anthropologists' texts, creatively posited by inquirers, that, most importantly, possess a surplus of meaning. A symbol's fullest surplus of meaning is a prereflexive and comprehensive "understanding" (Verstehen) that may encompass a scholar's attempts at "explanation" (Erklaren). Examples o…

    When avowed Popperians and perennial critics of radical anthropology acknowledge, like Jarvie (1975, p. 261), that a definite crisis exists (nevertheless resisting pessimism and radicalism) or admit, as does Kaplan (1974, p. 830), that anthropology would be impoverished without a radical perspective (yet labelling its contemporary representatives narcissists and solipsists), we may be in for a meta-crisis: establishmentarians may institutionalise…

  • Issues in the Ethics of Research Method

    Simeon W Chilungu, J A Barnes et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1976Cited by: 11References: 16

    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 …

  • Understanding in Anthropology

    Maria‐barbara Watson‐franke, Maria-Barbara Watson-Franke et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1975Cited by: 12

    The task of anthropology consists in describing and explaining cultures and ultimately reaching an understanding of them through interpretation. The practical difficulties of this are obvious to all those who have dealth with members of another culture. As Malinowski observed, the anthropologist's task is to be "the interpreter of the native." It is suggested that some of the principles elucidated in the philosophical discipline of hermeneutics, …

    Open AccessBob J Scholte, Bob ScholteARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist1966Cited by: 16References: 19

    Anthropological premises and assumptions generally involve intellectual-historical, philosophical, or "paradigmatic" choices and commitments. More specifically, in cases of theoretical and practical differences between rival paradigms of social anthropology, these choices and commitments must be empathetically understood and systematically explicated before an intelligent or fruitful debate is possible. This paper briefly and tentatively outlines…
