Hunters and Gatherers (Vol I)
Dreaming as social process, and its implication for consciousness
The charismatic family
The article postulates a structural similarity between New Religious Movement 'families' and Mainstream middle-class 'families'. Analysis of the former permits with regard to the latter the theorization of the exclusive family, posited as an intergenerational alliance of married couples. Both entities are constituted in charismatic, witnessing, and corporate processes. With the New Religious Movements, contradiction pertaining to a foundational s…
Terror and violence
Evolutionism in cultural anthropology
Counter-Cultural Egalitarianism
This paper makes a plea for examining New Religious Movements (NRMs), including the New Age Movement, in terms of contrasting modes of social organisation. NRMs share such contrasting modes with other societies well outside the Western industrial-capitalist world, notably hunting and gathering societies. This means that theoretical discussion relating to the social forms of hunter-gatherers can enlighten the social forms of NRMs. The paper demons…
The holistic person; or, the ideology of egalitarianism
Over the past decade and more, Western practices bearing on social life have been marked by a turn against Cartesian dualism. In particular, sociological analysts, political activists, and many ordinary Westerners have come increasingly to advocate an appreciation of the person in terms of the mind-body construed as inextricably one. To account for this, comparative material from Inuit hunter-gatherers and the Western New Age movement is brought …

Hunter-Gatherer Structural Transformations
A methodology for addressing structural transformation is illustrated with material from hunter-gatherer societies. A proper account of the transformation between types ofsocial structure is in three basic steps. First, a separate, full analysis for each type is required, in order to discern which among its array of distinctive institutions is generatively fundamental; it is upon this fundamental institution that the transformation is focused. Se…

Charisma
Shamanism
The article lays out in schematic fashion a composite of socio-intellectual processes, arguably evident in respect of all cosmologies, which might appropriately be labelled 'religious'. It does so by applying deductive reasoning to shamanism, the prevalent religion in societies whose social structures are simple and in whose cosmologies religious process is conspicuous; here the Canadian Inuit (Eskimo) provide the ethnographic focus. The article …

Eskimo Essays
Animal Rights, Human Rights
Aggression, War, Violence
David Riches's article, "Aggression, War, Violence: Space/Time and Paradigm," published in _Man_ (1991), critiques anthropological approaches to violence by examining the underlying assumptions about space, time, and paradigms that shape research. Riches argues that conventional anthropological studies often impose Western spatiotemporal frameworks onto other cultures, leading to misinterpretations of violence. He proposes a more nuanced approach…
