Anthropology of Power, Agency and Morality
Accessing the interiority of others
We combine Hofstadter's description of mutual interior access between persons with theories of interiority presented in ethnographic contexts and in anthropological literature on Sufi rituals. The intersection of these theories with Hofstadter's concepts is applied to three Sufi rituals: an annual village festival presided over by aMaulana(descendant of the Prophet); the devotionaldhikrcircles that meet weekly at the mosque; and a major Sufi fest…

Second, we examine the problem of defining and using cultural units, particularly when positivistic and static theories and methods of culture have been largely discredited by anthr…

Cultural Units in Cross-Cultural Research
Introduction
Cross-cultural research currently has refugee status in anthropology. I explain why this is so by briefly tracing history of cross-cultural research from time of Tylor to present. The main problem for ethnologists has been to define and develop adequate and equivalent cultural units for cross-cultural comparison. I argue that this is also problem for ethnographers. I conclude with brief review of articles in this edition, each of which takes diff…
