Table of Content
Preliminary Contents Chapter 1 Anthropology as Science Selection 1 45105 Franz Boas , from "The Aims of Ethnology," Race, Language and Culture "The data of ethnology prove that not only our knowledge, but also our emotions are the result of the form of our social life and of the history of the people to whom we belong. If we desire to understand the development of human culture we must try to free ourselves of these shackles." Selection 2 8771 Clyde Kluckhohn , from "The Meaning of Culture," Mirror for Man: The Relation of Anthropology to Modern Life "A good deal of human behavior can be understood, and indeed predicted if we know a people's design for living. Many acts are neither accidental nor due to personal peculiarities nor caused by supernatural forces nor simply mysterious. Even those of us who pride ourselves on our individualism follow-most of the time-a pattern not of our own making." Selection 3 36003 Ruth Benedict , from "Anthropology and the Abnormal," Journal of General Psychology "It does not matter what kind of 'abnormality' we choose for illustration, those which indicate extreme instability, or those which are more in the nature of character traits like sadism or delusions of grandeur or of persecution; there are well described cultures in which these abnormalities function at ease and with honor, and apparently without danger or difficulty to the society." Selection 4 40573 Robert L. Carneiro , from "Godzilla Meets New Age Anthropology: Facing the Postmodernist Challenge to a Science of Culture," EUROPÉA "The cornerstone of science has always been the premise that there is a real world out there, independent of our individual existences. And it is this world that, as scientists-as anthropologists-we should be studying. If anyone still doggedly prefers to contemplate his own navel, fine. But let him call his contemplation by a different name than anthropology..." Chapter 2 Doing Fieldwork Selection 5 45106 E.E. Evans-Pritchard , from "Fieldwork and the Empirical Tradition," Free Press "It is indeed surprising that, with the exception of Morgan's study of the Iroquois, not a single anthropologist conducted field studies till the end of the nineteenth century. It is even more remarkable that it does not seem to have occurred to them that a writer on anthropological topics might at least have a look, if only a glimpse, at one or two specimens of what he spent his life writing about." Selection 6 45107 Arturo Alvarez RoldÁn , from "Malinowski and the Origins of the Ethnographic Method," Fieldwork and Footnotes: Studies in the History of European Anthropology "I have spent over 8 months in one village in the Trobriand and this proved to me, how even a poor observer like myself can get a certain amount of reliable information, if he puts himself into the proper conditions for observation." Selection 7 45108 Kathleen Gough , from "Anthropology and Imperialism," Monthly Review "I am asking that we should do these studies in our way, as we would study a cargo cult or kula-ring, without the built-in biases of tainted financing, without the assumption that counter-revolution, and not revolution, is the best answer, and with the ultimate economic and spiritual welfare of our informants, and of the international community, before us rather than the short-run military or industrial profits of the Western nations." Chapter 3 Theoretical Perspectives Selection 8 45110 Elman R. Service , from "Evolution, Involution, and Revolution," Cultural Evolutionism: Theory in Practice "We have been long committed to the notion
