The Ottomans and the West: Some Thoughts on Mutual Perceptions and Good Government
Sir Jack Goody has been exploring the changing dynamics of East/West relations in numerous brilliant works. The key question concerns the dominance of the West since the eighteenth century. Are there features unique to the West which lead to its superiority both in arms and in culture? Or, were the last 200 years a mere passing moment in the "longue durée"? The history of the Ottomans from the thirteenth to the twentieth century provides a good b…
Remembering David
Remembering David Nur Yalman David H.P. Maybury-Lewis Thanksgiving Service, Harvard Memorial Church, Cambridge, MA, March 23, 2008, 2 pm. I wish I could speak as many languages as David did. If I could, I would have liked to express my admiration for David in all these many languages, especially Português, for the benefit of our dear Brazilian friends whom he loved. He admits in his brilliant, path-breaking book Akwe-Shavante Society, with his en…

The Semantics of Kinship in South India and Ceylon
Islamic reform and the mystic tradition in eastern Turkey
There is now increasing interest in the study of ideology in anthropology. We are disenchanted with community studies. They are obviously useful; but they provide a flat, two-dimensional picture; they are essentially a relic of the times when anthropologists were exclusively interested in primitives and when it was deemed possible to study an entire 'tribe' single-handedly. Turning to study the Tamils, Sinhalese, Turks, Kurds, or Circassians, if …

Dual Organization in Central Ceylon? or The Goddess on the Tree-top
In this paper I am concerned with an examination of symbolic and social dual organization. Does "dual organization" refer to those rare social systems in which the total community is in one way or another bisected into two definable "groups" which have certain formal relations with each other? Or, alternatively, can we speak of "dual organization" when the society is not so divided, or when the social divisions are obscure, but where there is a s…

The Structure of Sinhalese Healing Rituals
As social anthropology has set up new standards for the analysis of social structure, the lag in the study of religious thought and behavior has become increasingly apparent. New departures have been rare in this region and the figures of Freud, Durkheim, and Weber have continued to dominate the scene
