Myths and Myth Maker: Some Anthropological Appraisals of the Mythological Studies of Levi-Strauss
Among the most renowned of contemporary studies of myth are the works of Claude Levi-Strauss. A prolific author, vastly erudite and industrious, he is one of the most discussed thinkers of his time in literary, linguistic, anthropological, philosophic, and even some political circles (cf. Lapointe and Lapointe 1977, Holbeck 1978). The centerpiece of his considerable oeuvre is the four-volume series under the general title Mythologiques, Introduct…

Why Some of the Poor Get Richer: Economic Change and Mobility in Rural Western India [and Comments]
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 …

The Value-Base of Social Anthropology: The Context of India in Particular [and Comments and Reply]
In keeping with its present state of theoretical and methodological development and the ever accumulating stock of empirical information, the role of social anthropology today is not merely to describe or to explain a phenomenon (or a set of phenomena). Proceedings sequentially by answering the three questions "What is it?", "How is it?", and "Why is it?", social anthropology should now be in a position to answer the fourth fundamental question i…

The Study of Life History: Gandhi
The study of lives as wholes has not yet been well developed in the social sciences, though a good many anthropologists, psychologists, political scientists, and sociologists have written about its importance. These authors agree that a main shortcoming in such study is the lack of suitable concepts to make up a coherent frame of reference. Three procedural suggestions, the ideas of adaptation, dimension, and turning, may be useful for the beginn…

Transcendental and Pragmatic Aspects of Religion1
Indian villagers generally separate the transcendental functions of their religion from the more pragmatic functions, assigning different deities, rites, and practitioners to each. The two complexes of religious beliefs and practices are taken as complementary to each other. Some tribal groups in India make a similar, but less sharp, division, while Sinhalese villagers maintain a more rigid formal separation and still use the two in complementary…

Alcohol and Culture
The extensive literature on drinking practices raises some interesting anthropological problems. This paper is not a review of that literature or of any major part of it, but it is rather intended to bring to notice certain problems which merit further attention. The use of alcohol is generally a matter of considerable cultural interest. It may be tabooed; it is not ignored. Even a brief account of the range of drinking practices shows that cultu…

Introduction: Process and Structure in South Asian Religion
The studies in this volume explore some of the main aspects of Hinduism in India and of Buddhism in Ceylon. Because each article is based on the author's field observations, it deals with the realities of religion as well as with its ideology, and with actual religious behavior no less than with its hopes and beliefs. These papers are not intended to give a systematic coverage of the two religions; each is rather a systematic analysis of a certai…
Psychiatry in Military Society - I
One of the massive facts of many modern societies is the unprecedented scope and influence of the military. Not only has a considerable proportion of the adult population been involved personally in military organization, not only is a large segment of the economy devoted to defense purposes, but the range of what is considered to be of military interest has vastly expanded. A minor example of this is the blossoming of articles on obstetrics in t…

Psychiatry in Military Society - II
The manner in which this concept emerges and is used, depends on the men who are propounding it. In the discussion in Part I of this article we have noted how the military setting can affect psychiatric concepts and methods: we may now ask what the military environment does to the psychiatrist. To some, of course, it does nothing. They perform their period of military service and resume civilian activities very much as though they had never been …
Planning and Social Change in India
The planning of social behavior is not particularly new in human history and is an old story in India, having been practiced by the earliest civilizations. From the third millennium B.C. there is evidence of quite elaborate planning as evidenced in the meticulously laid out street plan of Mohenjo-Daro and in the great granary at Harappa. Even development plans in the sense of deliberately manipulated social change for the general welfare are not …
