Chiefs, Scribes, and Ethnographers
The Kuna of Panama, today one of the best known indigenous peoples of Latin America, moved over the course of the twentieth century from orality and isolation towards literacy and an active engagement with the nation and the world. Recognizing the fascination their culture has held for many outsiders, Kuna intellectuals and villagers have collaborated actively with foreign anthropologists to counter anti-Indian prejudice with positive accounts of…
Risk communication in emergency response to a simulated extreme flood
Risk communication in flood incident management can be improved through developing hydrometeorological and engineering models used as tools for communicating risk between scientists and emergency management professionals. A range of such models and tools was evaluated by participating flood emergency managers during a 4-day, real-time simulation of an extreme event in the Thamesmead area \nin the Thames estuary close to London, England. Emergency…
Argument is Argument
The metaphor "ARGUMENT IS WAR" looms large in the conceptualist and experientialist approach of Lakoff and Johnson (1980) Lakoff, G. and Johnson, M. 1980. Metaphors we live by, Chicago: University of Chicago Press. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]. Despite extensive discussion of this metaphor by critics and supporters of Lakoff and Johnson, it has so far escaped serious scrutiny on several key points. English-speakers can identify verbal exchanges …
Panama's Poor
This excellent study, one of a handful of book-length works on the campesino populations of the Panamanian interior, fills a major gap in the ethnographic and historical literature on the region. Based on long-term fieldwork carried out from 1972 to the mid-1990s, it traces the fortunes and misfortunes of the inhabitants of Loma Bonita, a small highland community in Coclé Province.Rudolf examines the impact of capitalist agriculture and the marke…

Friend Hairyfish and Friend Rattlesnake, or, Keeping Anthropologists in Their Place
The Star Girls' Descent
THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OP SEX ROLES and the place of women in society has in recent years given increasing prominence to myth, ritual, and cosmology. Male-dominated symbolic forms have been variously analyzed as charters or justifications for the subjugation of women, as testimony to male fears and ambivalence, as strategic resources in skirmishing between the sexes, or even as the means of male domination.1 Female participation in or control of r…
Fox Hunting as Ritual
The continuing cultural importance of hunting in modern Western societies, especially to some elites, justifies increased attention from anthropologists. English fox hunting can be seen as a ritual of social class, one dramatizing themes and images about the gentry and aristocracy, and about rural society as a whole. The present analysis stresses the importance of examining the symbolic forms of modern society in a historical perspective, and it …
The Effects of Writing on the Cuna Political System
Writing would seem to be one of the great transformers in history. Generations of social theorists have asserted or assumed a fundamental contrast between literate and preliterate cultures; and in describing and analyzing the evolution of society, they have assigned writing a place of honor alongside population growth, the neolithic revolution, irrigation, trade, warfare, plagues, and industrialism. Among such theorists, McLuhan has in recent dec…

Take and Tell
The San Bias Cuna of Panamá classify crops and wild forest products according to the kinds of access people other than their owners may have to them. In addition to a formal analysis of the classification itself and a discussion of its significance for "cognitive anthropology," we show the relevance of the classification to everyday life, in particular to such critical problems in Cuna social and economic organization as theft, generosity, and a …
