Anthropological Angst and the Tourist Encounter
Informed by and critical of the anthropological critique of tourism, this work is a retrospective examination of one author's willingness to act as consultant to a financially motivated tourism-development scheme in the Basque region of Spain. Navigating between the Scylla of cultural commodification and the Charybdis of local agency and voice, the anthropologist's role in such a project is fraught with anthropological angst. We consider two crit…

In Search of Juan de Oñate: Confessions of a Cryptoessentialist
In recent years the combination of deconstructionism within their discipline and the challenge of an ascendant cultural studies movement from without have prompted anthropologists to question their key concept--culture. This present article discusses the multiple identities of Juan de Oñate, sixteenth-century founder of Hispanic Nuevo México, and particularly his "Basqueness," as ploys for reviewing the "anti-essentialist" rhetoric of the cultura…
On Terrorism Discourse: Reply to Greenwood
Thefamille soucheand its interpreters
Cet article examine les approches différentes, de la part des chercheurs français et espagnols, de l'étude des ménages de la famille souche pyrénéenne. Pour les Français c'est tantôt un bastion de stabilité sociale et d'harmonie (Le Play), tantôt une institution pernicieuse et inégalitaire où certains membres de la famille exploitent les autres (Bourdieu). Pour les Espagnols ce type de ménage est un modèle de rationalité pour l'économie agraire (…

On the Interpretation of Terrorist Violence: ETA and the Basque Political Process
Political violence, labeled loosely as 'terrorism,' is a seemingly ubiquitous factor in twentieth-century world politics. Coping with it has become a major preoccupation of governments and is the object of considerable international cooperation among them. The purpose of this paper is to examine the case of ETA (Euskadi ta Askatasuna or Basque Country and Freedom) within the Basque nationalist movement in order to underscore several of the concep…

The Basque Stem Family Household: Myth or Reality
Observers of rural Basque society have regularly contended that its basic social unit is the stem family household associated with the baserria system of agricultural production. The stem family household has long been an object of speculation, and its sanctity and preservation was a common theme in Basque literature. A close analysis of the population records of the village of Echalar in Navarre, making use of both synchronic and longitudinal an…
Iberian Family History
Throughout the 1970s there was a dearth of Iberian contributions to the expanding body of knowledge regarding European family history, but this is no longer the case. Studies carried out in the 1980s, as well as scholarship incorporated in the anthropological/ethnographic tradition and in the juristic tradition, provide contemporary as well as historical baselines against which the student of family history can compare and evaluate information gl…

Labor and hegemony: A critique
Professor Robert Cox's “Labor and hegemony” in the Summer 1977 issue of International Organization includes one of the most sophisticated versions of the corporate unionist or “revisionist” description and explanation of American labor's foreign policy that has appeared to date. Nevertheless, it is inaccurate both as description and explanation, and like other attempts to use the corporate unionist approach, it is a misleading paradigm impeding r…

A photographic test for attitude measurement (PHOTAM) based on the projective principle provides an effective means for evaluating objectively as well as subjectively attitude profiles of modernizing peasants as demonstrated in a study of agricultural change in Campeche, Mexico. PHOTAM involves ten steps: (1) reconnaissance to provide an empathetic overview of the peasant group, (2) a priori selection of attitudes postulated for resolving the res…

Social Borders: Definitions of Diversity [and Comments and Reply]
Discovery of cultural diversity was catalytic for the development of anthropology, and diversity has remained a justification for anthropology as a distinct way of studying man. Paradoxically, a new kind of diversity in the range of societies studied by anthropologists is now a severe challenge to established concepts and methods. Much of this new diversity results from an increase in the numbers and kinds of social differentiation anthropologist…

Rural Exodus in Two Spanish Basque Villages: A Cultural Explanation1
Pronounced rural depopulation is currently an evident demographic trend in Spanish society. Macro-structural studies to date suggest that an entirely economistic interpretation of this rural exodus is in order. In this view agriculturalists abandon the countryside in response to the greater economic opportunities available in industry. The present study, by comparing the differential importance of inheritance norms as conditioners of farm abandon…

South Korea's Search for Leadership
I T WOULD BE MISLEADING to apply to Korea the stereotype of a feudal society with the government and army dominated by a landed nobility blocking social reforms. In such a country politics would be determined mainly by class relationships but in Korea today the determining factor is more difficult to identify. During the Yi Dynasty, Korea did have a traditional social structure, with power centralized in the hands of the nobility, which based its…
