The Semiotics of Western Hospitals
In this article I analyze the symbolic role of the hospital in its social context, from its creation in Rome in the 2nd century BCE to contemporary Montreal hospitals. I trace the change from its original role as a site to isolate the sick to limit the symbolic pollution of the allegedly perfect social body of the Roman state, a trope that became an important vector of unity as Rome expanded and incorporated greater numbers of foreigners and slav…
Gift Giving, Reciprocity and Community Survival among Central Alaskan Indigenous Peoples
Inspired by a traditional ritual, the potlatch, Indigenous Dene communities in central-northern Alaska have developed new forms of reciprocity as a response to exogenous political threats to their autonomy. The potlatch involved the ritualized gifting of food and other items to selected guests as a means of creating political equilibrium by inculcating a sense of obligatory reciprocity. Today, people are reluctant to leave their communities and h…
Le « musée » de McLeod Lake (Colombie-Britannique)
Les Sekanis de la Colombie-Britannique septentrionale ont une longue histoire de contacts avec les groupes européens et eurocanadiens. Leur passé est marqué de plusieurs évènements importants, donc deux sont ciblés ici : le fait que les divers groupes sekanis ont émergé, dû aux dynamiques de la traite de fourrure dans la région, et comment ils l’ont expérimentée avec un système phratrique-totémique dans la deuxième moitié du xix e siècle. Cependa…
Wartime Nostalgia in Italy
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Italy experienced a series of crises when its precarious postwar political compromise was challenged by the effects of decades of structural corruption. The author was offered unsolicited narratives of the prewar and especially wartime Fascist period. Surprisingly, many of these stories cast Fascists and their Nazi political allies in a positive light. Here, the author argues that these favourable views of a ble…

The Self in Northern Canadian Hunting Societies
This paper presents a theory of the Self in northern Canadian hunting societies. Ethnographic arguments are drawn from the Athapaskan-speaking Sekani of northern British Columbia and the Algonquoian-speaking Cree of northern Que- bec and Ontario. We describe the three dimensions of the Native Self in order to discuss Native mechanisms of social and individual inequilibrium and healing. We also attempt to re- analyse the so-called windigo among th…
Mérite et patronage en milieu " moderne ". Les rituels politiques de victoire et d'échec dans les universités italiennes
Mérite et patronage en milieu « moderne ». Les rituels politiques de victoire et d'échec dans les universités italiennes Cet article propose une réflexion sur les rituels de pouvoir dans les universités italiennes. L'analyse de tels rituels se base sur la ressemblance formelle (mais pas substantive) entre rituel et idéologie, chacun transportant, transmettant et inculquant un sens dont la portée est restreinte par le champ limité de référents dis…
La désunion fait la force. Survie et tensions chez les Sekani de la Colombie-Britannique
La désunion fait la force Survie et tensions chez les Sekani de la Colombie-Britannique La stratégie sekani d'inculcation et d'expression de l'unification politique fondée sur une définition exclusivement idéologique du groupe - stratégie déployée pour contrer l'empiétement d'étrangers - a conduit les Sekani à une impasse. Les valeurs médiatrices traditionnelles et les institutions ont perdu de leur signification et ont été limitées dans leur exp…

Language loss, language gain
The creation of a large artificial lake in 1968 that flooded a large part of the Sekani homeland has led to change in the political outlook of the reorganized Sekani villages. In particular, there has been a reemergence of a universalist social-political philosophy, pan-Indianism, that had as its precursor the cultural-political category of phratry. The association between disruption and the emergence of this system of categorization is historica…
One Name, Many Grounds
It is proposed, through an examination of published materials on the Orokaiva, that established and even competing models and concepts of ‘kinship’ and marriage (generalized and direct exchange, agnatic descent, clan, balanced reciprocity) have little or no explanatory power since they either do not fit the published facts or they predict the same results, despite published assertions to the contrary. An hypothesis linking relationship terminolog…
Life as a Guaglio'. Public and Private Domains in Central and Southern Italy
This paper proposes a re-examination of some 'classic' approaches to the problem of analyzing 'kinship' behaviour in Italy. The essay examines apprenticeship in several contexts and in several locations (southern and central Italy). It is argued that no one single trait, such as access to power (central to viewpoints that deal with 'patronage' and 'brokerage') can explain the behavioural complex associated with apprenticeship. Instead, the concep…
When is a turtle a turtle
The rock art of Lake of the Woods (Ontario) is analyzed in an attempt to determine some basic but particular social organizational features of the society that produced it perhaps 5 000 years ago. A model for interpreting certain stylistic features of tribal art is proposed. The model is based on a consideration of the contradictory tendencies inherent in contemporary North American Indian social structure. It is argued that the interpretations g…
On the Substantiality of Form
The publication of Sir James Frazer's Totemism and Exogamy raised as many problems for anthropologists as it tried to solve: namely, why do symbols that stand for any social group become imbued with religious, ritual, social, and mystical significance, and how do these totemic conceptual systems relate to systems of action? More often than not, symbols of group unity-whatever the group-possess more than one dimension, and these dimensions are oft…
