Conflicting Political Models in a Swiss Commune
The political system of a complex society is subtle and elusive. Beneath the structure and order of governmental institutions and political parties there is a fuzzy region of indirectness, ill-definition, and informality.

Systems Theory in Anthropology [and Comments and Reply]
When the first Anthropology Today panel met in the early 1950s, modern systems theory barely glimmered on the horizon.

Demographic, social, and economic data-drawn, in this case, from several Swiss Alpine villages-are important variables in many situation…

Data from a French-speaking peasant village in the Swiss Alps are brought to bear on the concept of property--its ownership and transfer. The village has a mixed mountain agriculture as its traditional economic base, supplemented today by wage-labor and some market cropping. Accompanying this economic system is an ideology of household independence and self-sufficiency, as well as an inheritance system of strict partibility. But potential disrupt…
