  • The North Caucasus

    Iu D Anchabadze, A Arutiunov et al.ARTICLEAnthropology & Archeology of…1993

    Today the Caucasus is the region with the greatest concentration of ethnic conflicts on the territory of the former Soviet Union. These conflicts vary in nature. Some, like the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in South Ossetia, the Georgian-Abkhazian and the Ossetian-Ingush conflicts, are active, long-term confrontations that have devolved into constant intractable or nearly intractable warfare. …

  • Issues of the Ethnic History of the Bering Sea

    С А Арутюнов, S A Arutiunov et al.ARTICLESoviet Anthropology and Archeology1990

    The archeological and ethnographical study of the northwestern section of the Pacific Ocean basin began quite recently. The Neolithic remains in these regions testify that the northwestern coastline of the Pacific Ocean was one of the areas of formation of the cultures of the maritime hunters who played a major role both in the conquest of the Arctic and in the ethnic history of more southerly regions, as far as the Japanese archipelago

  • Problems in the Study of the Subsistence Culture of an Ethnos

    С А Арутюнов, S A Arutiunov et al.ARTICLESoviet Anthropology and Archeology1983

    In the present stage of its evolution, ethnography faces the need for studies of the culture of an ethnos that will enable it to describe that culture as a series of interrelated subsystems, each of which fulfills specific functions of adaptation to changing conditions in the social and natural environment. This requires the creation of much closer creative links between ethnography, and cultural anthropology, which investigates a culture theoret…

  • Processes and Regularities of the Incorporation of Innovations into the Culture of an Ethnos

    С А Арутюнов, S A ArutiunovARTICLESoviet Anthropology and Archeology1983

    Culture is an extremely complex, manysided concept. Therefore whenever it is discussed, it is desirable to define specifically what is meant. In our work, we have used the definition offered by E. S. Markarian. (1) Accordingly, we understand culture to mean the aggregate of modes of human activity. At the same time, the definition proper and the subsequent division of culture into the individual subsystems and subcultures comprising it and their …

  • The Many Levels of the Problem of the Genesis of Art

    С А Арутюнов, S A ArutiunovARTICLESoviet Anthropology and Archeology1977

    The problem of the ways the phenomenon of depictive art arose is not only complex but is significantly clouded by the idealistic and often simply mystical speculations that continue with respect to it in bourgeois scholarship. It will therefore be understood how valuable is all constructive research, based on materialist assumptions, into the circumstances and factors that furthered not only the appearance of the very phenomenon of art in its fin…

  • An Evolutionary Approach to the Southeast Asian Cultural Sequence [and Comments and Reply]

    Karl L Hutterer, Jim Allen et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1976Cited by: 30

    Recent archaelogical work has directed attention toward Southeast Asia. However, while the substantive results of this research are significant for tracing worldwide prehistoric developments, the integration of these findings into a regional archaeological framework continues to be a problem. Most traditional chronological-developmental frameworks of Southeast Asian prehistory were patterned after the European paradigm of five prehistoric ages. I…

  • Problems of the Historical-Cultural Connections of the Pacific Basin

    С А Арутюнов, S A ArutiunovARTICLESoviet Anthropology and Archeology1966

    The histories of the world oceans differ amazingly. This is particularly true of the Atlantic and the Pacific, the two greatest, and the most important to human history

  • The Traditional and the Borrowed in the Contemporary Material Culture of the Japanese City

    С А Арутюнов, S A ArutiunovARTICLESoviet Anthropology and Archeology1965

    During the entire period of existence of ethnography, ethnographers, in describing the daily life and material culture of any people, have as a general rule been concerned only with what is specific to that people - the traditional national costume, the folk dwelling, manners (in eating, sitting), and so forth. Even when borrowings are being discussed, the matter at issue is the borrowing by a given people of analogous phenomena belonging to the …
