Is America Breaking Apart?
Paula G. Rubel
Charisma
“Charisma” originally referred to Christian eschatology but was transformed into a “value‐neutral” term by Max Weber. Based on irrational personal attraction to and deification of a leader, it stands in radical contrast to rationality and tradition. In its primary aspect, charisma is revolutionary, but to survive it must be institutionalized, which eventually undermines its radical character and emotional power. Although charismatic relationships…
Love
Romantic love was once little studied by anthropologists, who saw it as a modern Western delusion. However, of late this has changed. Four paradigmatic approaches to the analysis of romantic love are outlined here. One sees romantic attachment as a reaction to alienation, another sees it as an evolutionary adaptation, a third sees it as a cultural construct, and a fourth combines these elements
Love, a search for transcendence

Authenticity
Authenticity is valued today as an absolute good. It is sought in art, music, commodities, experiences, and persons. It can also be claimed by nations, ethnicities, religions, and races. All forms of authenticity are validated by reference to shared origins or shared content. Collective authenticity is inculcated by symbolic representations and proven by collective celebrations. Disputes over who has the right to be part of the authentic collecti…

Introduction
Charisma can be as mundane and as universal as the “naked capacity of mustering assent,” a capacity that has nothing to do with position, or power, or advantage, but emanates solely from an inherent personal magnetism (de Jouvenel 1958:163). All else being equal, in any group of friends, there is likely to be one whom the others wish to please, whose suggestions carry the day just because he or she made them. But in its more potent forms—as the s…

Debate
For some decades, the religious rebellion of the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries was characterized by political violence, terrorism, and strident rhetoric. Then in 2011, the events collectively known as Arab Spring seemed to offer a new model: mass movements leading to democratic reform and electoral change. The elections of 2012 swept religious parties and leadership into office in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya. Is this the face of t…
"What is Bread?" The Anthropology of Belief
In this article, I contrast the ideal-typical models for the verification of belief proposed by Max Weber (external and meaning-centered) and Emile Durkheim (internal and emotional). I then put forward a continuum of types of belief legitimization based on these models and place the articles in this collection within this framework to demonstrate the complex interplay between modes of belief corroboration and to provide a theoretical basis for ma…

Three Styles in the Study of Violence
Studying violence is likely to put the observer at risk, both physically and psychologically, making it unlike studying kinship, religion, or other topics. Violence fragments experience, making it difficult to construct coherent or effective narratives. To overcome these difficulties, recent works combine experience-near accounts with experience-distant analysis. Experience-near reportage must rely on material that is fragmentary, oblique and res…

Culture, Charisma, and Consciousness
This article outlines the basics of a theory of charisma drawn from a synthesis of the classic texts of Weber, Marx, and Freud. This abstract theoretical perspective is then applied to an analysis of the charismatic religious cult led by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Emphasis is placed on the methods used to inculcate loyalty infollowers and on the personal history and psychic capacities of the leader
Authenticity, Anthropology, and the Sacred
My charge for this paper was completely open-ended. I was told I could "write about anything I liked, as much as I wanted, in any format I pleased". While liberating, this unaccustomed freedom also caused me considerable anxiety. I am used to following a certain rhetorical structure: writing a set number of pages on a particular topic in a preordained style. In a very minor way, the nervousness generated by the openness of my mandate for this art…

Is America Breaking Apart
Is the United States a nation of materialistic loners whose politics are dictated by ethnic, racial, religious, or sexual identities? This is what America has become in the eyes of many commentators. Americans seem to fear that their society is breaking apart, but how accurate is this portrayal and how justified is the fear? Introducing a balanced viewpoint into this intense debate, John Hall and Charles Lindholm demonstrate that such alarm is un…
Justice and Tyranny, Law and the State in the Middle East
In his influential work, Max Weber argued that the Middle East was fatally hampered in the development of a modern civil society by the existence of arbitrary Qadi justice, based on the personalized decisions of a judiciary reliant only on case law for precedent and lacking any form of rational organization. This individualistic judicial structure (or lack of structure) allowed authoritarian regimes to subvert the courts for their own purposes, d…
Love and Structure
Is romantic love a particularly Western and modern phenomenon, as many social theorists argue, or a universal experience, as sociobiologists claim? This article argues that both these approaches err in taking sexual attraction as the essential characteristic of romance, whereas historical and personal accounts stress idealization of a particular other. Romantic love is properly defined as an experience of transcendence and is elaborated in cultur…

Kinship Structure and Political Authority
Kinship studies have traditionally been the core of the anthropological enterprise, but the knowledge gained in studies of indigenous kinship systems has not generally been of interest to other disciplines. This essay intends to draw attention to some of the political and social implications of patterns of kinship relations by comparing two large historical culture areas, that of the frontier region of Inner Asia, and that of the peripheral tribe…

"Does the Sociocentric Self Exist? Reflections on Markus and Kitayama's "Culture and the Self
This paper argues that there are a number of logical errors, methodological flaws, and ethnographic misconceptions in Markus and Kitayama's famous claim (1991) that non-Western sociocentric and interdependent selves are the polar opposites of Western egoistic independent selves. In fact, completely opposite conclusions about the nature of Eastern and Western selves (or self-representations) can be drawn from the data Markus and Kitayama have them…

Leatherworkers and Love Potions
The Pukhtun of Swat, North Pakistan, believe that the water used to wash the corpse of a leatherworker makes an effective love potion. To explain this belief, the Swati social structure is outlined and the symbolic role of the leatherworker, with his complementary opposite, the barber, is elucidated. Through a series of transformations, the love potion is understood within a consistent symbolic framework. [symbolic anthropology, structural analys…

Leadership Categories and Social Processes in Islam
The political transformations of two contiguous tribal areas in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier are compared. One region, the valley of Swat, has moved from a religious charismatic state to a more secular system. The other, the valley of Dir, has moved in the opposite direction. The contrary motion of these two, quite similar, societies is considered within a theoretical framework which focuses on the evolution of Muslim religious/political leaders…

Literature and Violence in North Arabia
This article explores the complex relationship between literature and violence in North Arabia, focusing on how literary genres like poetry and prose reflect and shape social values and practices related to conflict. The authors examine the historical and cultural context of North Arabian society, where tribal rivalries and raiding were prevalent, and analyze how literary works served to both glorify and regulate violence. They argue that literat…
