  • Strictness and Congregational Growth in Middletown

    Open AccessJoseph B Tamney, Stephen Johnson et al.ARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…2003Cited by: 7References: 8

    The relative effectiveness of strictness theory and modernization theory in explaining congregational growth is tested using a random sample of white, Protestant churches in Middletown (N = 98). Although the former theory predicts that growth is positively related to an authoritative structure and to enforcing rules of ascetic strictness, modernization theory predicts the opposite pattern. For our sample, authoritative leadership seemed not to pr…

  • The crisis of presence in Italian Pentecostal conversion

    Open AccessGeorge R Saunders, George SaundersARTICLEAmerican Ethnologist1995Cited by: 16References: 20

    Italian anthropologist Ernest De Martino (1908-1965) devoted much of his writing to the analysis of "the crisis of presence," an existential dilemma evidenced in a disturbed sense of self and often expressed as illness, emotional distress, or "alienation." This article describes De Martino's conceptualization of the crisis of presence as a problem of consciousness with moral and emotional dimensions and applies it in interpreting the conversion n…

  • "Critical Ethnocentrism" and the Ethnology of Ernesto De Martino

    Open AccessGeorge R Saunders, George SaundersARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist1993Cited by: 27References: 16

    Italian anthropologist, folklorist, and historian of religions Ernesto De Martino was an eclectic and creative intellectual who fostered a whole generation of studies on popular culture in Italy. In this article, I focus on one particular aspect of his work, a method referred to as "critical ethnocentrism," attempting to situate De Martino's concerns in the historical moment of postwar ideological struggles. De Martino's approach, however, has a …

    George SaundersARTICLEJournal of Multilingual and…1982Cited by: 2References: 7

    This paper looks critically at some recently published views on the difficulty of parents’ raising their children bilingually, (e.g. tolerance of children's deviations from adult speech, the influence of friends and relatives, finding an adequate vocabulary for a foreign environment), and also examines criticism of the use of children as the subjects of research into the acquisition of bilingualism

    A progress report is given on a longitudinal study of the acquisition of English‐German bilingualism by two Australian‐born children who, from the onset of speech, have always communicated with their father in German and with their mother and most other people in English. The situation is unusual in that English is the native language of both parents and is also the dominant and official language of the community. The problems of creating and fos…
