To sider af et spejlhav, adskilt fra hinanden af et fælles sprog? Kroppen i narrativ antropologi og videnskabelig medicin
This paper addresses the vexed question of the intellectual relationships between physicians and medical anthropologists sometimes incorporated in the same body. It suggests that they are more divided than they think because neither side always recognises that the former are, by definition, required to be pragmatic and the latter, analytical. They are less divided than they think because both groups have recently moved towards focusing their stud…
Heart of Lightness
Edith and Victor Turner were among the most influential researchers and teachers and social and cultural anthropology in the twentieth century. Together they, and Edie alone after Vic's death, raised the idea of participant observation (and indeed of team learning) to heights and depth most anthropologists never achieve." [From the Foreword] This fascinating memoir is a lively testimony to a remarkable partnership and to Edie Turner's own achieve…
A Bridge over Troubled Waters, or What a Difference a Day Makes
Gluckman's paper, "The Bridge," challenged received social anthropology, initially in segregated South Africa, at the LSE, and more generally, by illustrating that professional observers and participants in social situations are profoundly mutually interinvolved with one another despite wide cultural differences. While retracing his own history within it, the present writer relates this new anthropology to the methods of modernist literature (and…
Developments in the sociology of place
I have published, actually, quite a lot—although most people, probably very sensibly, have not noticed it—about the early studies I did, including one on ‘Gender studies revisited’ (1976 and 1994)

Countering Essentialism in Behavioural Social Science
After discussing ways in which the concept of vulnerability is applied to children in psychology and sociology. It is argued that many of these may arise from the mistaken concretisation of essentialising concepts which have sometimes thereby become barriers to, rather than facilitators of, sociological understanding. Fieldwork is presented and analysed concerning the interactions of some London children, and their characterisations of themselves…

The other Who is Also the Same
The history of epidemics reveals the imposition of controls over time and space on the sick and powerless other in the interests of the well and powerful same. In contrast, effective prevention requires the sharing of values, space, and time: coevality in the broadest sense. Adolescents are seen as merely transitional: they were children in the recent past, they will be adults in the recent future. Thus as an other who must become the same, they …
A Protestant Legacy
Virgin Births and Sterile Debates
This article explores the anthropological debate surrounding new reproductive technologies (NRTs). It critiques the tendency within anthropology to focus on the sociocultural implications of NRTs through the lens of kinship, thereby neglecting the embodied experiences of women and the broader political-economic context. The authors argue that the focus on "virgin births" and the supposed disruption of traditional kinship structures obscures the c…

The Historical Anthropology of Early Italy
Gramsci, Culture, and Medical Anthropology
The articles in this theme issue are introduced in the context of the thought of the Italian Marxist, Antonio Gramsci. I suggest that his concept of hegemony is well known to medical anthropologists but not well understood, and an attempt is made to place it in the broader context of his life and work. I particularly emphasize Gramsci's ideas concerning the part played by culture (and by "intellectuals" who develop and transmit it) in all societi…
Crossing Escalators
Sickness as Cultural Performance
This paper examines the use of root metaphors in the description of social activity and especially the performance of sickness. It starts with a critical account of Susan Sontag's examination of the use of illness as metaphor in literature. There then follows a brief analysis of another account of society based on the discussion of creative literature—Kenneth Burke's “Dramatism,” itself acknowledged as a source by Erving Goffman. Goffman's own ex…
Closure as Cure
A close semiotic relationship links textual form, social relations, and the etiology of illness. Using an ethnographic study of "evil eye" headaches on Crete and the verbal and other curing methods used there, this paper attempts to show how the villagers deploy textual form to explore and control both bodily and social discomfort and in some cases to "translate" inchoate experience-both bodily and social-into manageable bodily images. Textual cl…

The Sceptical Anthropologist? Social Anthropology and Marxist Views on Society
Celtic Ethnic Kinship and the Problem of Being English [and Comments and Replies]
Breton, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, and Irish and Scottish Gaelic are all "Celtic" languages. The definition of certain languages as "Celtic" is widely taken to imply a distinct category of people, the Celts, who have ties of language, culture, and flesh and blood, and who share a common external subjection which has largely destroyed their culture and their language and the people themselves. This paper attempts a structural, ethnographic account of t…

Functionalism and after? Theory and Developments in Social Science Applied to the Health Field
It is suggested that sociology could have a totalizing theoretical function in relation to medicine. Marx in his Capital put forward a theory of social integration in which incidentally illness is seen as arising out of social conditions and reflecting back on them. Sigerist, following this lead, sees the roles of physicians and the sick in an historical context, but his analysis is marred by an inversion of Marx's man-centered view. George Berna…

Coal is Our Life
Originally published in 1956, "Coal is Our Life" offers a comprehensive sociological study of a Yorkshire mining community in the mid-20th century. The authors employ a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including participant observation and surveys, to examine the social structure, values, and way of life in Ashton, a pseudonym for the actual town. The study explores the impact of the nationalization of the coal industry on the…

Economic Anthropology or Political Economy? (I)
In a paper on Economic Anthropology published in 1967 I mistakenly suggested that economic anthropology could only succeed when, instead of occasionally borrowing or reinventing concepts from Marx, it adopted or applied Marxism as a whole. In particular I suggested that writers in the field needed to examine in more detail the implications of what to them was an insight — a labour (time) theory of value.
