Understanding Cultural Transmission in Anthropology
The concept of "cultural transmission" is central to much contemporary anthropological theory, since successful human reproduction through social systems is essential for effective survival and for enhancing the adaptiveness of individual humans and local populations. Yet, what is understood by the phrase and how it might best be studied is highly contested. This book brings together contributions that reflect the current diversity of approaches …
An alternative policy approach to rural development in regions facing population decline
Many rural regions in Europe used to be characterized by weak economic performance and negative population development. While in a long-term perspective this is not any more valid for large parts of Western Europe, a number of rural regions face persistent population decline. By analysing the case of Austria, where approximately one-third of rural areas have experienced such negative population change over the past decades, this paper will examin…
Ecological Modeling
An ecological model relates interactions within and between people and other life forms in an ecosystem context. Anthropologists use ecological modeling to address issues such as sustainability of cultural practices, how population structures are likely to respond to policies, and the ecological impacts of human activities. In anthropology, ecological modeling initially arose in response to cultural ecology as developed by Julian Steward and Lesl…
Knowledge leadership
This article explores contrasting forms of ‘knowledge leadership’ in mobilizing management research into organizational practice. Drawing on a Foucauldian perspective on power–knowledge, we introduce three axes of power–knowledge relations, through which we analyse knowledge leadership practices. We present empirical case study data focused on ‘polar cases’ of managers engaged in mobilizing management research in six research-intensive organizati…
Resolving Multiplexed Automotive Communications
Early streets contained a thriving social structure, without automobiles. When automobiles were introduced, there was not a friendly integration of the vehicles to city streets and country roads. Instead, early automobiles were rather anti-social to street life, often causing great divides between the public, who felt they had a right to streets, and drivers, whose automobiles? speed and power quickly dominated them.. This phenomenon was illustra…
The Political Economy of Management Knowledge
Have generic management texts and associated knowledges now extensively diffused into public services organizations? If so, why? Our empirical study of English healthcare organizations detects an extensive presence of such texts. We argue that their ready diffusion relates to two macro‐level forces: (i) the influence of the underlying political economy of public services reform and (ii) a strongly developed business school/management consulting k…
Burmese Refugee Experience Accessing Health Care in New Delhi
Provision of health services to urban refugees is challenging given wide dispersal and tenuous legal status, particularly in regions where host population urban residents also face limited access to health care. This study aims to understand Burmese refugee and asylum-seeker experiences accessing health care in New Delhi, India. During March 2012, investigators from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative in collaboration with the Chin Human Rights O…
The Cultural Grounding of Kinship
Les bases culturelles de la parenteUn changement de paradigmeD’un point de vue conceptuel, les systemes de parente reposent sur des modes de representation culturelle que nous appelons terminologies de parente et a partir desquelles les limites, la forme et la structure des principes d’organisation sociale sont culturellement elabores. Contrairement a ce que les anthropologues tiennent depuis longtemps pour acquis, une terminologie n’est pas forc…
Harmonizing Diversity
The contributions in this issue of Social Science Computer Review represent a range of computational approaches to theoretical and disciplinary specializations in anthropology that reflect on and expand the future orientation and practice of the formal and comparative agenda in the context of an increasing emphasis on complexity in anthropology as a discipline. Themes covered in this issue include kinship, funerary burials, urban legends, eye tra…

The ideation and instantiation of arranging marriage within an urban community in Pakistan, 1982–2000
Using longitudinal data and marriage arrangements in urban Pakistan, this paper discusses the consequences of changes in ideational systems. Merging different theoretical approaches (or cultures) within cultural anthropology, it argues that, while symbol systems are not an analogue of an external world, nevertheless they are effective drivers for how people relate to, adapt to and modify the external relations within which they are embedded. This…
Introduction
The authors present examples of how anthropologists are presently using computers to advance ethnographic research in new directions while building on what has come before. All the methods, protocols, and tools created by the authors are free, open source, and available on the Internet. The contributions are the authors' attempts to address greater complexity through greater control over the data and structures within which anthropologists work. …
Applications in Computing for Social Anthropologists
As increasing numbers of social anthropologists use a computer for wordprocessing, interest in other applications inevitably follows, Computer Applications in Social Anthropology covers research activities shared by all social anthropologists and introduces new methods for organizing and interpreting data. Lucidly written, and sympathetic to the particular needs of social anthropologists, it will be of immense value to researchers and professiona…
