  • Culture, Suicide, and the Human Condition

    María Cátedra, Susanne Dahlgren et al.•BOOK•Culture, suicide, and the human…•2022

    Suicide is a puzzling phenomenon. Not only is its demarcation problematic but it also eludes simple explanation. The cultures in which suicide mortality is high do not necessarily have much else in common, and neither is a single mental illness such as depression sufficient to lead a person to suicide. In a word, despite its statistical regularity, suicide is unpredictable on the individual level. The main argument emerging from this collection i…

  • Uncultural Behavior: An Anthropological Investigation of Suicide in the Southern Philippines

    Charles Macdonald, Charles J-H Macdonald•BOOK•Uncultural Behavior•2017•Cited by: 2

    Until recently the people of Kulbi-Kenipaqan lived on the fringes of the modern world following traditional customs and beliefs, practicing shifting agriculture, and leading an outwardly peaceful existence in a remote corner of Palawan island. Yet this small community, basically indistinguishable in society and culture from its immediate neighbors to the north, has one of the highest rates of suicide in the world. Why would the comparatively happ…

  • The Filipino as Libertarian: Contemporary Implications of Anarchism

    Charles Macdonald, Charles J-H Macdonald•ARTICLE•Philippine Studies Historical and…•2013•Cited by: 3•References: 17

    Modern Philippine society presents a number of traits that have puzzled or fascinated social scientists: an apparent looseness of organization, institutional fuzziness, intense factionalism, moral values geared toward smooth interpersonal interaction, a weak sense of public good, and a bilateral kinship system. This article revisits these points and makes sense of them by using a model of society called "anarchic" or "open-aggregated." This conce…

    Une recension intitulée “La singulière défaite de l’anthropologie” concernant mon ouvrage sur le suicide (Macdonald 2007), parue dans les pages de cette revue et signée par Guillaume Rozenberg (que je désignerai dans la suite de ce texte par ses initiales GR), appelle quelques rectificatifs. Je pourrais m’honorer de voir mon livre salué par un si long commentaire et me satisfaire des quelques rares mérites que GR lui reconnaît, à savoir d’avoir p…

  • L'anthropologie sociale en France, dans quel état

Il examine d'abord la terminologie utilisée pour définir le champ disciplinaire, puis les changements qui affectent l'exercice de la profession, notamment la définition du terrain. Ces changements s'accom…
