Standardization and Measurement in Cultural Anthropology
One of the major problems facing anthropology as it continues to develop as a scientific discipline is the development of standardized research approaches. This article reviews the issues involved in the creation of standardized research procedures in the discipline. The relationship between cross-cultural comparison and the collection of field data is explored. The process of standardization, incliding the operationalization of concepts, the cre…
Sex, Incest, and Death
In this paper an attempt is made to show why initiation and/or puberty rites occur in so many societies and why they take the shape they do. To do this I have used concepts derived from social and physical anthropology and from psychoanalysis. The rites are seen as part of a general human concern with categorization and the attribution of power/danger to what is not classifiable. The particular problem lies in the metamorphosis from the sexual wo…

Foundamental conceptual errors underlie these difficulties. This paper indicates how the interdependencies among family, …

Because of the uniqueness of the factors through which the personal approach yields knowledge, the approach is not easily ta…
Issues in the Ethics of Research Method
There is a pattern of elements within the Anglo-American structure of thinking and reasoning which affects methods of data collection, data analysis, and systems of information dispersion with respect to studies of non-Western cultures. An argument is built in this paper which maintains that: (1) These same elements hinder some Anglo-American anthropologists from studying their own cultures. They form a pattern which begins with the selection of …
