Walt Disney World is a pilgrimage site filled with utopian elements, craft, and whimsy. It's a pedestrian's world, where the streets are clean, the employees are friendly, and the trains run on time. All of its elements are themed, presented in a consistent architectural, decorative, horticultural, musical, even olfactory tone, with rides, shows, restaurants, scenery, and costumed characters coordinated to tell a consistent set of stories. It is …

Cultural Theory
Prescience and Power
Frank Herbert’s God Emperor of Dune functions as a myth for Western intellectuals in assisting them to understand, both cognitively and emotionally, contradictions brought about by the disjunction between knowledge and power. Leto II enjoys both. Yet even with nearly absolute power and the ability to foresee the future. Leto’s actions lead to unintended consequences. Through an understanding of Leto’s use of the double-bind, Herbert leads the rea…
A prince by any other name? identity and politics in Highland Cameroon
Small public acts carry with them the keys to the cultural and institutional worlds in which they occur. To understand why a particular person in the Bamenda Grassfields of Cameroon changed his name, and thereby the symbol of his public identity, this study presents the cultural and political context in which such an act makes sense. This context includes the historical relations between the two Grassfields chiefdoms of Nso and Nseh, as well as t…
Hey, You Can't Do That
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the methodology employed by Divale and Harris (1976) in their paper, "Population, Warfare and the Male Supremacist Complex". It argues that their sampling and statistical pro cedures are incorrect, and that their hypotheses cannot be tested on the data as presented
The Extensionist Hypothesis and Marking Rules in the Formal Analysis of Kinship Terminology
A number of kinds of formal analysis of kinship terminology have appeared in the anthropological literature. This paper supports the validity of extension rule analysis as an approach to this domain. Data are presented from a kin term system that includes culturally appropriate variability to show that, via semantic marking rules, the frequency with which informants associate kin types with particular kin terms parallels the order in which an ext…
The Akamba domestic cycle as Markovian process
This paper presents a Markov chain process as a model of the change in the domestic position over time of a group of Kenyan Akamba women. A simple explanation of the Markovian process is presented. The suggestion is made that such processes may aid an ethnographer in describing and understanding social change. A brief description of changes in household composition is included
Natural and Unnatural Decision‐Making
Talking About Talking About Residence
The data-collection procedures described here elicit culturally relevant categories and the personal characteristics that are correlated with them. They permit the construction of a decision model which represents the organization of native knowledge about what kinds of people live in different domestic situations
