The Anthropology of Cannibalism

The Anthropology of Cannibalism

Laurence R. Goldman

Praeger Publishers Inc
1999
sidottu
Using new case data from South American, Australian, and Papua New Guinean societies, the authors explore how cultural ideas for humanity are reflected in seemingly universal understandings of our potential for anthropophagy. Whether or not a society actually practices cannibalism, these conceptions are often articulated at the level of folklore and myth, where flesh-eating is imbued with symbolic meanings centered on ideas about regeneration after death, the equivalence between human flesh and food, and the morality of social exchange in and between groups. Thus, cannibalism emerges at once as a resource for political agendas that perpetuate ethnic stereotypes of exotic others; a cultural practice capable of expressing violent suppression as well as transforming death into a life-sustaining process; and a theme whose horrific potentiality engenders baleful monsters and myths for public delectation as well as child control. Cannibalism exists in folklore traditions as the definition of the antithesis of socially accepted morality, as well as something that in practice was a conduit for the regeneration and reproduction of positive values. Cannibalism is seen as bound up with the commerce of exchange between people intent on defining their economic and political worlds in and through symbols. This book is a major milestone, providing a valuable set of correctives for both the academic discourse on cannibalism as well as the wider conventional beliefs about the topic.

Child's Play

Child's Play

Laurence R. Goldman

Berg Publishers
1998
sidottu
This innovative book finally takes seriously the need for anthropologists to produce in-depth ethnographies of children's play. In examining the subject from a cross-cultural perspective, the author argues that our understanding of the way children transform their environment to create make-believe is enhanced by viewing their creations as oral poetry. The result is a richly detailed ‘thick description' of how pretence is socially mediated and linguistically constructed, how children make sense of their own play, how play relates to other imaginative genres in Huli life, and the relationship between play and cosmology. Informed by theoretical approaches in the anthropology of play, developmental and child psychology, philosophy and phenomenology and drawing on ethnographic data from Melanesia, the book analyzes the sources for imitation, the kinds of identities and roles emulated, and the structure of collaborative make-believe talk to reveal the complex way in which children invoke their experiences of the world and re-invent them as types of virtual reality. Particular importance is placed on how the figures of the ogre and trickster are articulated. The author demonstrates that while the concept of ‘imagination' has been the cornerstone of Western intellectual traditions from Plato to Postmodernism, models of child fantasy play have always intruded into such theorizing because of children's unique capacity to throw into relief our understanding of the relationship between representation and reality.

Fluid Ontologies

Fluid Ontologies

C. Ballard; Laurence R. Goldman

Praeger Publishers Inc
1998
sidottu
Myths are best understood as a convergence of voices from across times and cultures. They are the instruments through which authors and audiences seek to grapple with questions about the fundamental nature of the universe. The answers, however, constantly change in light of changing circumstances such as the interface between western and non-western cultures, or cataclysmic events. The authors argue that these societies' worldviews assume that the process of flow between events, rather than the nature of the events, is critical to a model of human sociality.Boundaries, whether of a ritual, physical, or social nature, are perceived as constantly broken by the exchange of ideas across time, space, and peoples. Our understanding of such issues as gender relations and the body, social change, imagination, play, and the conceptualization of power is furthered by probing how it is that myth is both expressive as well as constitutive of human thought on these topics.

Grin Publishing

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 1999 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit t M nchen, Veranstaltung: Wortbedeutung und Pragmatik, 4 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In seinem Aufsatz "Logic and Conversation" von 1975 besch ftigt sich H. Paul Grice mit dem Ph nomen der Differenz zwischen Gesagtem und Gemeintem. Einen Teil solcher F lle beschreibt er als sogenannte Implikaturen, wobei er sein Augenmerk v.a. auf die "conversational implicatures" (Grice 1975, S.307) richtet. Er geht dabei von der Existenz eines Kooperationsprinzips und bestimmter Maximen f r die Gespr chsf hrung aus, deren Beachtung durch den Sprecher der H rer grunds tzlich voraussetzt. Falls eine u erung durch den Sprecher nun auf den ersten Blick gegen diese Prinzipien verst t oder sie nur m ig erf llt, interpretiert der H rer Grice zufolge diese u erung in einer Weise um, so dass zumindest das Gemeinte mit den Prinzipien in Einklang ist. Diese Uminterpretierung ber das w rtlich Gesagte, die Semantik der u erung hinaus, ist das, was Grice als konversationelle Implikatur bezeichnet. Grice und in seiner Nachfolge und Weiterf hrung auch Stephen Levinson (in dem Kapitel "Conversational implicature" seines Grundlagenbuches "Pragmatics" von 1983, deutsch 1994) teilen die konversationellen Implikaturen in dreierlei Hinsicht ein: Zum einen nehmen sie eine Einteilung der Implikaturen nach der jeweiligen Gespr chsmaxime vor, die f r das Zustandekommen der Implikatur verantwortlich ist, d.h. also z. B. der Quantit tsmaxime, der Maxime der Art und Weise, etc.. Zum zweiten unterteilt Levinson die konversationellen Implikaturen in Standardimplikaturen, bei denen der Sprecher die Maximen grunds tzlich beachtet, und in Implikaturen, die entstehen, wenn der Sprecher eine oder mehrere der Maximen bewu t mi achtet, verletzt oder aussch pft. Als dritte Einteilungskategorie dient Grice und Levinson die Frage, ob die entstandene konversationelle Implika

The Emergence of the American University

The Emergence of the American University

Laurence R. Veysey

University of Chicago Press
1970
nidottu
The American university of today is the product of a sudden, mainly unplanned period of development at the close of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. At that time the university, and with it a recognizably modern style of academic life, emerged to eclipse the older, religiously oriented college. Precedents, formal and informal, were then set which have affected the soul of professor, student, and academic administrator ever since. What did the men living in this formative period want the American university to become? How did they differ in defining the ideal university? And why did the institution acquire a form that only partially corresponded with these definitions? These are the questions Mr. Veysey seeks to answer.

The Communal Experience

The Communal Experience

Laurence R. Veysey

University of Chicago Press
1978
nidottu
The original impulse for groups to separate from society and establish communities of their own was religious. Though the religious side of this drive toward separation remains strong, the last two centuries have seen the appearance of secular communities with a socialist or anarchist orientation. In The Communal Experience, nominated for a National Book Award in 1973, Laurence Veysey explores the close resemblances between the secular and religious forms of cultural radicalism through intensive observation of four little-known communities. Veysey compares the history of secular communities such as the early Ferrer Colony and Modern School, of Shelton, New Jersey, with contemporary anarchist communities in New York, Vermont, and New Mexico. Religious communes—"Communities of Discipline"—such as the Vedanta monasteries of the early twentieth century are compared with contemporary mystical communities in New Mexico. Distinctions between the anarchist and the mystical groups are most obvious from their approach to communal life. As Veysey shows, anarchist communities are loose, unstructured, voluntaristic; the mystics establish more rigid life-styles, focus on spiritual leaders, and hold community a secondary goal to self-realization. In a new preface written for this Phoenix Edition, he describes his return to a New Mexican mystical community and the changes that have occurred in the six years since his last visit.

Fighting Words

Fighting Words

Laurence R. Marcus

Praeger Publishers Inc
1996
sidottu
This intriguing book reflects on the conditions on college campuses that give rise to words and acts of hate, on the consequences of these episodes, and on strategies intended to improve intergroup harmony. Using the speech given by Nation of Islam spokesperson Khalid Abdul Muhammad at Kean College in 1993, the book begins with a consideration of the societal trends affecting today's college student, including the increasing economic uncertainty that characterizes their future and the hostility and fragmentation that characterizes their present. Attitudinal changes have proven to be widespread, as more Americans have begun to view the world through the lenses of political, social, and economic self-interest, calling prevailing equity policy into question and giving new life to identity politics. Since issues of affirmative action, multiculturalism, and political correctness are at the core of the national debate and command the attention of college students, each is addressed in detail. A discussion of what prompted Kean students to invite Muhammad follows a consideration of the current status of intergroup relations on campuses across the nation. This examination covers the inescapable conclusion that, despite the desires of most students for positive relations with people of other groups, there are serious gaps to be bridged.

Human Rights and Intellectual Property

Human Rights and Intellectual Property

Laurence R. Helfer; Graeme W. Austin

Cambridge University Press
2011
pokkari
This book explores the interface between intellectual property and human rights law and policy. The relationship between these two fields has captured the attention of governments, policymakers, and activist communities in a diverse array of international and domestic political and judicial venues. These actors often raise human rights arguments as counterweights to the expansion of intellectual property in areas including freedom of expression, public health, education, privacy, agriculture, and the rights of indigenous peoples. At the same time, creators and owners of intellectual property are asserting a human rights justification for the expansion of legal protections. This book explores the legal, institutional, and political implications of these competing claims: by offering a framework for exploring the connections and divergences between these subjects; by identifying the pathways along which jurisprudence, policy, and political discourse are likely to evolve; and by serving as an educational resource for scholars, activists, and students.
