Añadir al carritoSoft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Marriage Contracts Among the Tiwi 452-466 pages with bibliography. It has become an increasingly common practice in recent years to reexamine earlier analyses of Kinship systems and, by selecting slightly different criteria from the ethnographic description or by approaching the sys…tem from a different point of reference, to arrive at new interpretations and classifications. Motives in Eskimo and Ojibwa Mythology 516-523 pages with table and bibliography. The use of myths as a tool for understanding personality in a given society has had a long history, both in anthropological and in pay-choanalytical writings. Although many careful studies exist, the literature in this area abounds with post hoc speculative insights which have not been subjected to careful methodological treatment. While attempts to use rigorous procedures in myth analysis present many pitfalls, the importance of such endeavors is manifest. Condition: Spine sunned, light edge wear else very good.

Paperback. Condición: Collectible-Very Good. In the course of her fieldwork with the Kaulong, who live on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea, Jane Goodale recognized that everything of importance to them - every event, relationship, and transaction - was rooted in their constant quest for recognition as human beings.…She addresses here questions central to Kaulong society: What is it that makes an individual human? How is humanity, or personhood, achieved and maintained? In their consuming concern with their status as human beings, the Kaulong mark progress on a continuum from nonhuman (animal-like) to the most respected level of humanity - the political 'big men' and 'big women'. Knowledge is the key to movement along the continuum, and acquiring, displaying, and defending knowledge are at the heart of social interaction. At all-night 'singsings', individuals compete through song in their knowledge of people, places, and many other aspects of their forested world. The sacrifice of pigs and distribution of pork to guests completes the ceremonial display and defense of knowledge and personhood. Goodale's analysis of songs and their ritual context adds unusual depth to the ethnography.
