Does Labor Time Decrease With Industrialization? A Survey of Time-Allocation Studies [and Comments and Reply]
Theoretical debate on the evolution of human labor is addressed in this paper. In particular, the direction of change in family labor time from preindustrial food production to postindustrial wage labor is examined through a survey of time-allocation studies. The research is concerned not only with the quantitative results of the studies, but also with their methodological construction, in particular, the ethnographers' definition of labor. Unlik…
Why Some of the Poor Get Richer
To the extent that peasants, particularly Indian peasants, are ever considered to be economically mobile, they are generally seen from one of two perspectives: either the Malthusian perspective, which predicts that most landholdings will shrink over time, due to partitioning among multiple heirs; or the Marxian perspective, which predicts that a few landholdings will increase in size at the expense of the vast majority-the latter diminishing, in …
Scale and Social Relations [and Comments and Reply]
Scale," a term referring to size and/or complexity, is a societal dimension frequently employed and generally regarded as important but rarely systematically investigated. This paper provides a critical overview of the meanings which have been attached to the concept and the implications they carry. Special attention is paid here to the diverse literature dealing with the contrast between societies characterized by such polar terms as Gemeinschaf…
Infrastructures, Societies, and History [and Comments]
The paper deals with the so-called problem of the dominance of superstructures-kinship, religion, politics-and supports the view that kinship or religion dominates social organization and the thought of social actors when it functions as relations of production and as framework for material action upon nature. Consequently, it becomes impossible to oppose the dominance of kinship, religion, or politics to the hypothesis that everything is ultimat…
Shifts in Production and Organization
Periods of intensification alternate with periods of shift of mode of production in pristine-state sequences; attendant upon these are regular shifts in sociopolitical organization. This paper develops an evolutionary model of these regularities and their relation to other traditional questions of state formation. Specifically it notes that rarely if ever do such transformations affect only a single precocious polity, at any level of sociocultura…
Measuring Peasant Attitudes to Modernization
A photographic test for attitude measurement (PHOTAM) based on the projective principle provides an effective means for evaluating objectively as well as subjectively attitude profiles of modernizing peasants as demonstrated in a study of agricultural change in Campeche, Mexico. PHOTAM involves ten steps: (1) reconnaissance to provide an empathetic overview of the peasant group, (2) a priori selection of attitudes postulated for resolving the res…
