Field Guide to Intercultural Research
"This informative Field Guide to Intercultural Research is specifically designed to be used in the field, guiding the reader away from pitfalls and towards best practice. It shares valuable fieldwork challenges and experiences, as well as insights into key methodological debates and practical recommendations relevant to both new and seasoned researchers. Offering an international outlook and featuring insights from across four continents, this in…
A rdener, E. W. (1927–87)
Edwin Ardener was a social anthropologist, best known as an authority on the relationship between linguistics and anthropology; during his lifetime, if the relationship between linguistics and social anthropology was under discussion, his name was among the first mentioned. Ardener was a route through which the ideas of Saussure, through Lévi‐Strauss, reached both his own generation and a younger generation of scholars—not only social anthropolog…

Chinese consumers
Drawing on evidence from Anshan City, Liaoning Province, the People's Republic of China, we argue that the recent commodification and proliferation of idyllicized representations of rurality, a trend that runs directly counter to the symbolic infrastructure of China's mass urbanization and industrialization, indicates a paradigm shift in Chinese consumer perceptions. We explore a theory of the 'Romantic reappraisal of Chinese consumer values', dr…

Poles and Germans
In this article, we aim to identify and explain how Polish managers, in the Polish affiliates of German companies, view their German partners. The theoretical background for this article comes from the field of social anthropology. The empirical data were collected during face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with executives in Poland. The findings presented here are the result of qualitative analysis. We argue that the Polish/German contrast,…
Economics and Social Anthropology—Reconciling Differences
This paper is the outcome of collaborative work between an economist and a social anthropologist. It explores the differences of outlook and approach between these two subjects, both in general, and in the specific context of a research project, “The Management of Cooperative Strategies,” which tests economistic hypotheses using methods largely derived from social anthropology. There remain major dissonanaces between the two subjects, but an atte…

‘A Wave of Barbarians …’
I have suggested that there is no necessary relationship between the name given to a people, the archaeological or cultural evidence, the linguistic evidence, and the flesh and blood. It is often argued that the spread of the archaeologically defined culture styles across Europe is accompanied by a spread of place-name elements of a Celtic kind. There is a serious danger of circularity here, however, in that an archaeological feature found in a p…
Celtic Continuity
It will be clear by now that the notion of a finite, biologically defined and biologically self-reproducing population as the basis of an ethnic group is largely fictional. Before looking further into this, we can recall earlier thought on the subject. The nineteenth century was the great period of the formulation of racial theories in Europe. Theories about the nature of human races were not always coherent or consistent, but there was a general…
Calling People Names
A continuity of naming is often the simplest continuity of all, and provides a thread through history along which other continuities — of race, language or culture — can be traced and imagined.1 Those in the modern world who use the term 'Celt' to describe both ancient and modern inhabitants of Europe often allow this usage to imply continuity between the two very different ages — between pre-classical barbarian Europe, and the modern world of th…
Celts into Welshmen
It is worth noting that Europe has still not seriously begun to aspire to the degree of ethnic uniformity which the term ‘Celt’ imposes upon Iron-Age Europe. When the Western Roman Empire failed, the definitions of a power with transcontinental structures and aspirations failed at the same time. When the barbarians invaded, much of the European map was, for a brief moment, almost completely obscured. Emerging again into the light of history, it w…
Celtic Continuity
Comparative historical linguistics is a highly specialised and sophisticated subject. Its practitioners do not always agree among themselves about their results, but they alone are well-placed to take part in the argument. A non-specialist must be cautious, therefore; even so, there are some potentially useful contributions that anthropology can make in this domain. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is expe…
The Modern Celts
Much that I have already said about the definition of ethnic groups must be taken, mutatis mutandis , to apply to the modern Celts. In passing from antiquity to the modern day, I have taken a detour via Gerald of Wales, and in so doing I have bowed to modern retrospective definition of what a Celt is: in modern parlance the Welsh are Celts, although Gerald would not have called them so. I would otherwise have had to leave the Celts in antiquity, …
‘A Branch of Indo-European’
The adjective ‘Celtic’ has its most respectable and formal use within linguistics. The idea of the Indo-European languages is a result of the increasingly scholarly and scientific study of language in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Similarities between otherwise very different languages in Europe had long been noticed, with erudite Romans speculating on the relationship of their own language to Greek. 1 Gerald of Wales made some thought…
Romanticism
I have treated the cultural relationship between periphery and centre as one in which culture changes ripple continuously out, beginning as sophisticated innovations in the centre, and ending up as old-fashioned on the fringe. The process as I have so far described it is essentially one-way — a simple wave pattern, as from a single stone thrown into a quiet pool. Romanticism, however, introduced a serious complication — an apparent counter-curren…
Classification and Culture-Meeting
In Chapters 11 and 12 I discuss in detail some accounts of culture-meeting involving the Celts. Here, I deal with culture-meeting in general, and its expression in written accounts. I have already referred to two notions — that society is ‘a web of boundaries’, and that any society tends to ‘bound’ itself away from its neighbours as ‘culture’ to ‘nature’ (p. 28). Here, I present the argument behind these rather vague assertions. These keywords we…
Gerald of Wales
In the post-classical period, records of the customs of ‘the Celts’ (or their various successor ethnicities) become very sparse. Historical records of various kinds are available, but there are few attempts at ethnography. The Anglo-Saxon settlement of England, however, undoubtedly provided rich opportunities for the observation and construction of boundaries between Anglo-Saxon and Welsh, and for elaborations upon the relative character of these…
Celtic Continuity
The people whom scholars call ‘Celts’ emerge in archaeological and literary record in the first millennium bc , and are associated with a series of retrospectively defined archaeological culture-types even before their incorporation in the Roman Empire — Urnfield, Hallstatt and La Tène. This last is often seen as the culmination of Celtic cultural achievement, and modern ‘Celtic’ artists and craftsmen often imitate its styles. The curvaceous asym…
The Celts and the Classics
The references to the Celts in the classics are usually taken as evidence about the Celts. As such they have been minutely inspected by Celtic scholars. These references, however, are necessarily embedded in a cultural meeting — a cultural meeting, moreover, where the organising principles of observation and understanding are not on the Celtic side. The classical sources tell us primarily about the classificatory systems of the classical authors.…
Who Are the Celts?
This title has a familiar ring. It might announce a very different kind of book, one of a series through which a publishing house hoped to turn ethnic variety into book sales. The series might include other titles like ‘Who are the Greeks? — the Egyptians? — the Germans?’ The form of the books in this series would be similar, telling the story of a people from their origin to modern times, passing, with illustrations, through the ups and downs of…
