Capabilities of digital servitization: Evidence from the socio-technical systems theory
Driven by pressures for sustainable development and disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturing companies in the 21st century are affected by two intertwined trends: Industry 4.0 and servitization. Digital servitization, which represents the transition from providing products to offering smart product-service systems, is currently seen as a black box by companies confronting them with major challenges. Current literature has not yet …
Bedouin of Mount Sinai: An Anthropological Study of Their Political Economy
The Sinai Peninsula links Asia and Africa and for millennia has been crossed by imperial armies from both the east and the west. Thus, its Bedouin inhabitants are by necessity involved in world affairs and maintain a complex, almost urban, economy. They make their home in arid mountains that provide limited pastures and lack arable soils and must derive much of their income from migrant labor and trade. Still, every household maintains, at consid…
The Social Context of Violent Behaviour: A Social Anthropological Study in an Israeli Immigrant Town
First published in 1976. Violent behaviour occurs in every society. It grows out of the social order and can therefore be understood only in a social context. This book examines an orderly and relatively tranquil society, a small Israeli town settled by new immigrants, which is run by public agencies who pour in their resources to maintain the inhabitants. Circumstances have made the town an egalitarian society, but also limit its members' econom…
Max Gluckman
Max (Herman) Gluckman (b. 1911–d. 1975) was a South African who became a pathbreaking British social anthropologist. In his studies of South and Central African societies he realized how deeply the colonial regimes and the global economy affected every aspect of peoples’ lives. As director of the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute in Northern Rhodesia and later as professor of social anthropology at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, h…
Bedouin of Cyrenaica: Studies in Personal and Corporate Power
Types of Violent Events
Violence is a blanket term that covers several analytically distinct social phenomena.These can only be understood when they are treated as elements in events.A re-examination of my own study of violence, as well as other ethnographies, shows that violence appears in just fi ve basic confi gurations:1. Violence as a kind of social power (coercive violence) 2. Violence as a cry for help (appealing violence) 3. Violence directed at an imagined body…
Swimming upstream: A Jewish refugee from Vienna - T. Scarlett Epstein
Land and Work: Negev Bedouin Struggle with Israeli Bureaucracies
Introduction The governments in the Middle East have always tended to treat the Bedouin as second rate citizens. Even today many government spokesmen argue that the Bedouin contribute little to the region's national economies, that they live apart from the settled population and produce only for their own subsistence (see, for instance, the articles in Arab League 1965 (1); Abou Zeid 1996). The Bedouin's nomadic way of life is viewed as little mo…
Employment and Unemployment among Bedouin
The Bedouin of the Middle East contribute their share to their countries' national economy. As pastoralists they generally earn a higher income than as peasant cultivators. Why then do certain governments in the region seek to settle them and to decimate their herds, causing losses to the national economy and potentially reducing the Bedouin to unemployment, poverty and despair? The aim of this article is to understand this frustrating problem an…

community rushed in assistance and soon set up tent camps, distributed food and provided medical services to the refugees. This emergency aid alleviated their sufferings and probably saved many lives. In 1950 a new United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) took over. It gradually extended its range of services to other areas of life, such as education, social welfare, water and sanitation. It recruited…

The Bedouin of Cyrenaica: Studies in Personal and Corporate Power
Emrys Peters studied the Bedouin of Libya for more than thirty years. The handful of articles published during his lifetime were widely admired and are still essential reading for anthropologists. He left further significant papers unpublished at his death, and the editors have drawn on these for half of this collection, which brings together his major writings on the Bedouin. These seminal essays are not only of ethnographic interest. All Peters…
The Social World of Refugees: A Conceptual Framework
The paper offers a conceptual framework for the sociological study of refugees and other migrants. It is centred on the migrants and the social world in which they are embedded. The social world is the sum of all the migrants' relationships and of the forces impinging on them at any moment. It can be explored through the social networks of migrants and the changes they undergo during migration and resettlement. The argument is illustrated by exam…

Relations between spouses among the Negev Bedouin
The Negev Bedouin today are living from a mixed economy, the mainstay of which is cereal farming, but they do regard themselves as primarily camel and sheep raisers and the husbandry of small stock is very important. In this article, the author looks at the relationship between spouses in the context of the domestic developmental cycle and the varying resources available to the spouses as the family cycle changes. In certain conditions one can fi…

Sororicide/Filiacide: Homicide for Family Honour [and Comments and Reply]
Homicide of patrilateral kin on the justification of "restoring the family honour" is here differentiated from other assaults on family members. It is also distinguished from vendetta, which, though aimed at the restoration of family honour, affects strangers. This study outlines the social characteristics of the instances of homicide, attempted homicide, and forced suicide for family honour that occurred in Israel between May 1973 and December 1…

The Tribe as a Unit of Subsistence: Nomadic Pastoralism in the Middle East
Among Middle Eastern pastoral nomads some "tribes" can best be described as "units of subsistence": they exploit an area providing multiannual subsistence. Tribesmen sometimes control this area; more usually they control part of it and share the rest with other nomads and with settled people. Small corporate groups afford the tribesman security and, through genealogical links, mediate his formal membership of the tribe. The unit of subsistence is…

Circumcision Feasts among the Negev Bedouins
Social scientists often consider feasts to be reflections of social structure. They assume that people living in community, sharing a common culture and participating in the same political framework, will also celebrate the same feasts. This may be superficially true. But a closer look at such feasts shows that the manner of their celebration varies a great deal between sectors of the community. Different positions in the social structure are ref…
