Visited by thousands of pilgrims yearly, the Church of the Madonna of the Annunciation on the Aegean island of Tinos is a site where different interests--sacred and secular, local and national, personal and official--all come together.

"Foreign Chickens" and Other Outsiders: Gender and community in Greece
Anthropological discussions of gender in the Mediterranean have tended to focus on two related issues: the control of female sexuality, particularly in terms of concepts of "honor and shame," and women's power and its relationship to the public and private spheres of community life. This article seeks to move beyond these issues to a broader examination of gender ideology. It suggests that gender needs to be seen in a shifting context of boundari…

Death and Social Change in Greece
The study ofthe material markers ofdeath in contemporary Greece reveals several dimensions ofmortuary practice not necessarily obvious from the analysis of social and symbolic data alone. In particular, such studypoints to significant class variations in conceptualizations of death and to increasing commodification ofmortuary ritual, with important consequences for community, gender roles, and individual and collective identity. [death, Greece, E…
Commentary
Commentary Jill Dubisch The anthropological focus on small communities has traditionally been both the discipline's weakness and its strength. The study of peasant communities has been especially problematic, for such communities are embedded in a larger social order by which they are both shaped and defined. In her pioneering ethnography, Vasilika (1962), Ernestine Friedl delineated some of the problems which anthropological fieldwork in such se…

Golden Oranges and Silver Ships: An Interpretive Approach to a Greek Holy Shrine
Golden Oranges and Silver Ships: An Interpretive Approach to a Greek Holy Shrine Jill Dubisch Victor Turner, a pioneer in the anthropological study of pilgrimages and shrines, has called our attention to the ways in which pilgrimage sites serve to integrate the local, regional and national levels of a society (Turner 1974).1 Such sites offer the anthropologist a means of moving beyond the narrow boundaries of local communities, which usually defi…

Greek Women: Sacred or Profane
Greek Women: Sacred or Profane Jill Dubisch INTRODUCTION There has been a recent tendency in the anthropological study of gender to view men's and women's roles and the symbolism of male and female in terms of sets of contrasts which serve to organize social and conceptual realms within any particular culture. Such analyses have often followed the lines suggested by Lévi-Strauss1 and Ortner2 who propose that all cultures have categories of "natur…
