Archaeology and Anthropology
Though archaeologists have long acknowledged the work of social anthropologists, anthropologists have been much less eager to repay the compliment. This volume argues that the time has come to recognise the insights archaeological approaches can bring to anthropology. Archaeology's rigorous approach to evidence and material culture; its ability to develop flexible research methodologies; its readiness to work with large-scale models of comparativ…
Archaeology and Anthropology
Introduction
The respective methodologies employed by social anthropology and archaeology, their approaches to data, teaching, and dissemination, are all markedly different. Taken cumulatively, they appear at least to give a level of precision that may even become the envy of social anthropologists, even though they have the advantage of being able to talk with their subjects. This advance in scientific archaeology has occurred alongside, even slightly follow…

The Role of History in the Teaching of Anthropology
Recently, at the RAI we have been encouraging research and discussion into the history of anthropology. This has been yielding most interesting insights, particularly as to the changing role of the RAI over the years. At one of our seminars, however, I was struck by a particular remark made to me by a distinguished retired professor, when he said to me words to the effect; ‘Please don’t be surprised if my colleagues still in post are not here to …
R oyal A nthropological I nstitute ( RAI )
The Royal Anthropological Institute is one of the world's oldest institutions devoted to the study of anthropology. It took its present form in 1871, when it was formed from the merger of the Ethnographical Society of London and the Anthropological Society of London. Throughout its existence it has pursued a broad definition of the subject, one that explicitly includes biological anthropology alongside social anthropology. It is known in particul…
Said Nursi’s Notion of ‘Sacred Science’
This paper explores the teaching of natural science subjects in high schools associated with the Gülen-Hizmet movement in Turkey. It focuses on the apparent reconciliation of scientific learning in a pervasive, albeit unofficial, Sunni Islamic religious culture. The framework for such an accommodation is found in the teachings of Fethullah Gülen and his predecessor, Said Nursi. Following Nursi, Gülen encourages scientific pursuit, and intellectua…
Anthropology in the world
This editorial anticipates the conference Anthropology in the World by reflecting upon the influence of anthropology, and its limits, arguing that it is only by knowing where these limits are that we can be sure where and how it can best be judged. It is too, a call for unity, suggesting that in seeking to influence the external world, anthropology should unite across its sub‐disciplines, and in doing so a mutually‐beneficial exchange of practice…
Maps and the Alevis
This article introduces the collection by offering a series of thoughts as to why the study of heterodox groups within Islam has been so comparatively overlooked. It suggests that one of the most important reasons is a mistaken adherence in contemporary society to seeing cultures as a coherent whole rather than an ever-shifting process of complex contradictions. Amongst further reasons may be insufficient fieldwork, an over-reliance on textual sc…

The Alevis in Turkey
This is the only volume dedicated to the Alevis available in English and based on sustained fieldwork in Turkey. The Alevis now have an increasingly high profile for those interested in the diverse cultures of contemporary Turkey, and in the role of Islam in the modern world. As a heterodox Islamic group, the Alevis have no established doctrine. This book reveals that as the Alevi move from rural to urban sites, they grow increasingly secular, an…

The Demise of Republican Turkey’s Social Contract
Largely Implemented During The Tumultuous Years between 1923 and 1937, Turkey's laws, education system, civil service, economy, military, international outlook and trade are all founded on the premise of a Western-oriented separation between religion and state. This system has survived seventy years of economic, political and social transformation with remarkable resilience: Islamic brotherhoods, most recently a particularly vehement tarikat call…
