Anthropology and Political Science
What can anthropology and political science learn from each other? The authors argue that collaboration, particularly in the area of concepts and methodologies, is tremendously beneficial for both disciplines, though they also deal with some troubling aspects of the relationship. Focusing on the influence of anthropology on political science, the book examines the basic assumptions the practitioners of each discipline make about the nature of soc…
Religion and Politics
This third volume in the outstanding series makes important new contributions to our understanding of the process whereby individuals and groups attribute meanings to the political structures and communities they create or inherit. Avoiding simplistic distinctions between religion and politics, each of these essays suggests more satisfactory ways of approaching the complex nature of these dynamic phenomena. They explore the role of traditional re…
Israeli Visions and Divisions
This finely etched, on-site work examines the relationships between the changing political system and political culture in Israel, with particular focus on the decade of the 1980s. Written by a scholar equally at home in the United States and in Israel, and intellectually equally at home in political science and anthropology, Israeli Visions and Divisions is a fundamental contribution to a literature long on passion and short on reason, which per…
Narratives and Multiplicity
Analysing Social Narratives
Studying social narratives is not part of mainstream political science, but, as Shaul Shenhav argues in Analyzing Social Narratives , it ought to be. Narratives are everywhere and are an important factor in human and social life; human beings are essentially homo narrans , and so social science must take narratives seriously. Narratology is just one of many interpretivist methods that are gaining increasing ground within the social sciences. Shen…
Analyzing Social Narratives
Interpreting human stories, whether those told by individuals, groups, organizations, nations, or even civilizations, opens a wide scope of research options for understanding how people construct, shape, and reshape their perceptions, identities, and beliefs. Such narrative research is a rapidly growing field in the social sciences, as well as in the societally oriented humanities, such as cultural studies. This methodologically framed book offer…
Power and Ritual in the Israel Labor Party
Power and Ritual in the Israel Labor Party
An anthropological study of a major national political party - one which dominated Israeli politics for nearly five decades and was returned to office in summer 1992. The analysis focuses on the relationship between culture and politics to explain the crucial role the Labour Party has played

The ?Americanization? of Israeli Politics
Dramatic transformations of the Israeli political system and culture have taken place in the past decade. The introduction of internal party primaries and the direct election of the prime minister have contributed to decreasing party discipline among Knesset members, growing tension between the government and legislature, a dramatic decline in the parliamentary representation of the two major parties, and an increase in the representation of part…
Political Violence and Extremism
The spy novels of John le Carré
A prolific author with millions of fans, and novels that routinely climb the bestseller charts, John le Carre is more than simply a genre writer. Myron J. Aronoff contends that le Carre's spy novels grapple with one of the most pressing political issues facing the world community today: what extreme - and often undemocratic - means are justifiable to protect democracy in this post-Cold War era? As such, Aronoff demonstrates that le Carre's novels…

Paternalism, Patronage, and Potlatch
The intention of this article is to call anthropologists' attention to some of the theoretical and applied implications of paternalism and to report findings from field research on this question. Having defined paternalism as interference with another's autonomy justified in terms of the wish to benefit him, the article focusses on state (or bureaucratic) paternalism. Its principal concern is the effect of paternalism on corporate groups and cate…

On the Limits of Symbolic Interpretation in Anthropology [and Comments and Reply]
Symbolic readings of ritual acts rely on a distinction between the symbolic and the instrumental that is hard to sustain. In order that we take public lectures and academic papers-which are certainly ritual acts-intellectually seriously, it is enough that they not be obviously false. A further argument against reading them symbolically is that the symbolic reading involves projection of hidden meanings which have not been intentionally put there.…
