  • Lewis Henry Morgan and the Invention of Kinship

    William H Davenport, Thomas R Trautmann et al.BOOKEthnohistory1989Citada por: 28

    This article examines Lewis Henry Morgan's Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family (1871) as a pioneering work of kinship study. It argues that Morgan's key concepts, such as the classificatory system of kinship, were not simply flawed ethnographic observations, but rather theoretical constructs that reflected his broader evolutionary framework. The article explores how Morgan's ideas about kinship were shaped by his intellectua…

    It has been many years since Malinowski made the useful distinction between ordinary commodities, which were exchanged in conventional markets, and valuables, which could be exchanged only for one another and in restricted, ritualized contexts. This distinction between general and restricted exchangeability has been one of the main topics (and source of contention) in the comparative study of economic systems. Here, I will describe how labor and …

  • Sex‐related differences in transmission of hepatitis B infection in a Melanesian population

    Open AccessAlexandra Langendorfer, William H Davenport et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1984Citada por: 1Referências: 26

    Factors involved in the spread of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the largely Melanesian population (N = 909) of Graciosa Bay, Ndeni, are examined. Based upon cultural information from Ndeni and ways in which HBV is spread in other populations, certain practices and interactions, predicted as effective routes of HBV infection, are analyzed.

    Open AccessWilliam H Davenport, William DavenportARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist1969Citada por: 18Referências: 3

    Acculturation, culture fatigue, and cultural evolution have all been offered as explanations of the Hawaiian Cultural Revolution. All of these are concerned with cultural processes. The relevant historical and ethnographic data on this unique event are summarized here, and a different interpretation of them is offered. This interpretation is that the events that precipitated the so-called Cultural Revolution can also be regarded as political resp…
