Carib-Speaking Indians: Culture, Society, and Language
This book is one outgrowth of a meeting of Carib specialists that was held at the Fortieth International Congress of Americanists in Rome, Italy, during September of 1972. (excerpted from Preface)
The Visayan Male Barkada: Manly Behavior and Male Identity on a Philippine Island
L'A. compare la signification de la « barkada » (regroupement d'hommes ou de femmes visant a renforcer les liens sociaux) a Siquijor et a Bohol (Philippines). Evolution de cette notion chez les Visayans : des aspects negatifs a sa reevaluation. La barkada est un evenement social, une integration. Les barkada feminines se distinguent par leurs activites. Seuls la mort et le mariage peuvent detruire les liens etablis dans une barkada. Mais la barka…

Far from Manila: Political Identities on a Philippine Island
A partir d'une recherche ethnographique chez les iliens philippins du Visaya central, l'A. montre les differentes manieres, parfois complementaires, parfois additionnelles, dont les personnes de l'ile de Siquijor construisent leur identite sociale. Il se demande si et dans quelle mesure de telles identites sociales s'integrent a la fixite de la structure administrative imposee par le gouvernement central de Manille. Confrontes a une pluralite d'i…
Visayan Vignettes: Ethnographic Traces of a Philippine Island
Visayan Vignettes: Ethnographic Traces of a Philippine Island
Dumont's title signals reader that here one may find an example of widely discussed, but still rarely written, ethnography. By crossing over and drawing on a term traditionally associated with impressionistic tales in humanities, vignettes, and emphasizing nature of his work by referring to its ethnographic accounts as traces, Dumont clearly breaks with boldly definitive and unself-consciously positivistic titles of most modernist ethnographies. …
Alchimie et philosophie à la Renaissance
Si les alchimistes se désignaient eux-mêmes sous le nom de « philosophes », cette qualité leur fut déniée dès le Moyen-Âge par bien des représentants plus officiels de la « philosophie ». Aujourd’hui, l’importance des doctrines alchimiques dans l’histoire des idées n’est plus guère contestée. Pourtant, les rapports entre la « philosophie hermétique » ou « chymique » et la philosophie au sens habituel restent mal étudiés. C’est afin d’apporter des…

The Use of Quantitative Observational Techniques in Anthropology [and Comments and Replies]
The measurement of human activity is discussed in relation to anthropological methods and to observational techniques borrowed from the field of animal behavior. When observational techniques are used, a number of sources of bias emerge: choice of subjects, time of day, seasonal, demographic, and spatial effects, and the presence of the observer. Such biases can be circumvented. Use of a system of recording that describes both physical and purpos…

The Headman and I: Ambiguity and Ambivalence in the Fieldworking Experience
This article explores the inherent ambiguity and ambivalence experienced by anthropologists during fieldwork. Focusing on the relationship between the researcher and a key informant, often termed the "headman," the authors analyze the power dynamics, shifting identities, and emotional complexities that emerge. They argue that these ambiguous and ambivalent feelings, rather than being obstacles to research, are integral to the fieldwork process an…

Under the Rainbow: Nature and Supernature among the Panare Indians
This ethnographic study of the Panare Indians of Venezuela is the first extensive look at a tribe of this region of the Amazonia. It is an important book not only because it delves into the myth-filled Panare culture, but also because the author has used a modified version of the structural analysis of Claude Lévi-Strauss in examining the Panare. Lévi-Strauss applied his method of structural analysis to the mythology of many societies in Amazonia…
Under the Rainbow: Nature and Supernature among the Panare Indians
This article examines the relationship between nature and supernature among the Panare Indians of Venezuelan Guiana. The authors argue that the Panare do not perceive a sharp distinction between these two realms. Instead, they view the natural world as imbued with spiritual forces and beings, which are integral to their understanding of hunting, illness, and social relations. The article explores how Panare myths and rituals reflect this intercon…
