Cultural Change and the New Europe: Perspectives on the European Community
C Shore, Thomas Wilson et al.ARTICLEJournal of the Royal Anthropologica…1995Cited by: 20
Politicians can negotiate currency disputes, redraw national boundaries, and raise trade tariffs but what unforeseen problems may be caused by the melding of societal boundaries and the lowering of cultural tariffs? Originating from a range of nationalities and ethnic groups, the contributors to this volume focus on cultural and social processes of European integration in 1992. Looking at such key themes as culture, nation, community, and identit…

On Sociocultural Discontinuity: Nationalism and Cultural Objectification in Quebec [and Comments and Reply]
R Handler, Bernard Arcand et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1984Cited by: 50References: 4
M. Estellie Smith has recently attacked the concepts "tradition" and "change" as reifications which mislead us in our study of sociocultural process. She favors "sociocultural continuity" as an analytic construct that focuses attention on the interconnected processes of continuous change and persistent collective identity that characterize all human sociocultures. This approach suffers, however, from reification analogous to that it rejects, for …
Culture, Environment, and the Ills of Adaptationism [and Comments and Reply]
Thomas Bargatzky, Myrdene Anderson et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1984Cited by: 12References: 24
The concept of "adaptation," properly used to describe the relation between "culture" and man's physiological needs, is commonly employed in anthropology to refer to the relationship between human sociocultural institutions and "nature." An attempt is made here to expose the "adaptationist programme" behind this latter conception, the main components of which are (1) the notion of an all-embracing ecosystem whose evolution is subject to (2) self-…

The Process of Sociocultural Continuity [and Comments and Replies]
M Estellie Smith, Graham M S Dann et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1982Cited by: 21
Almost since its inception, anthropology has had a major concern with sociocultural traditionalism and innovation. This paper argues that the terms "tradition" and "change" have created a dichotomy that is counterproductive for understanding how sociocultural systems are utilized by real people to deal with real events. Rather, we should stress the dynamic of continuity wherein "old" and "new" are defined according to the situation at hand. The e…

Evolutionary Epistemology and Human Values [and Comments and Reply]
Ronald Cohen, Attila Ágh et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1981Cited by: 8
The theory of evolution is a body of concepts and relations that applies to social and cultural phenomena as well as to biological ones. The fundamental ideas of the theory-taxonomy, developmental relations, processes of change, and directionality-are shown to apply to human society and culture. Next it is argued that an evolutionary approach implies that the tension between "value-free" and value-biased research is essential to adaptation. Final…

The Portuguese Female Immigrant: The ‘Marginal Man’
Open AccessM Estellie SmithARTICLEInternational Migration Review1980Cited by: 1References: 6
This paper presents an analysis of the role of Portuguese women in the migration decision of typical Portuguese ‘male-dominated’ families; their continued importance in the actual departure and in the acculturative process upon arrival. The author seeks to redress a previous imbalance in migration literature neglecting the role of women in these processes

Corporations and Social Classification [and Comments and Reply]
D E Brown, George N Appell et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1974Cited by: 8
Maine argued that perpetuity is the essential characteristic of corporateness. Thus corporations may be defined as presumptively perpetual social units. Presumptive perpetuity is achieved by regular procedures of recruitment. Since corporations figure prominently in social structural studies from Aristotle's time until now, the classification of corporations is an important theoretical task. A recent classification by M. G. Smith is critically re…

Early Historic Populations In Northwestern Ontario: Archaeological And Ethnohistorical Interpretations
Open AccessCharles A Bishop, M Estellie SmithARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1975Cited by: 6References: 6
There seems to be little doubt that major population shifts occurred in Northern Ontario and Manitoba following the Iroquois wars of the seventeenth century and the advent of the fur trade. These movements have tended to blur pre-contact ethnic boundaries. Although recent archaeological reports have provided much needed data, differing interpretations of that data have only further obscured the issue. For instance, while some scholars have argued…
Systems Theory in Anthropology [and Comments and Reply]
Miriam Rodin, Karen Michaelson et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1978Cited by: 4
When the first Anthropology Today panel met in the early 1950s, modern systems theory barely glimmered on the horizon. Since then, an entire generation of scholars has matured in an intellectual atmosphere which focuses on systemic relationships in social life. In the fall of 1977 a new World Anthropology conference was convened. One panel was devoted to identifying major research foci and continuing problems in systems theory in anthropology. Fi…

Don't Call My Boat a Ship
M Estellie SmithARTICLEAnthropological Quarterly1977Cited by: 1
The environmental demands of the North American Great Lakes originally fostered a different vessel structure, a different sailing pattern, and a different sense of community from that which marked deep water sailing. This paper stresses the variations in intra-crew relations and the ideational differences which differentiated one group from the other. It demonstrates that technological alterations have overcome certain limiting factors which diff…
