  • A Further Note on Joking Relationships

    Open AccessA R Radcliffe‐brown, A R Radcliffe-BrownARTICLEAfrica1949Cited by: 45References: 4

    Opening Paragraph Professor Griaule's article on ‘L'Alliance cathartique’ in Africa of October 1948 raises a methodological point of considerable importance. If we wish to understand a custom or institution that we find in a particular society there are two ways of dealing with it. One is to examine the part it plays in the system or complex of customs and institutions in which it is found and the meaning that it has within this complex for the p…

    A.R. Radcliffe-Brown's influential article, "The Study of Kinship Systems," argues for a structural-functionalist approach to understanding kinship. He criticizes the then-dominant historical and evolutionary approaches, advocating instead for analyzing kinship systems synchronically, focusing on their present function in maintaining social order. Radcliffe-Brown emphasizes the importance of studying the relationships between different kinship te…

    Publicado originalmente em 1940, este artigo seminal de A.R. Radcliffe-Brown apresenta e defende seu conceito de "estrutura social". Radcliffe-Brown argumenta contra a definição de estrutura social como uma teia de relações sociais e propõe, em vez disso, entendê-la como uma ordenação de pessoas em relações institucionalmente controladas ou definidas. Ele ilustra seu argumento com exemplos etnográficos, enfatizando a importância da observação da …
