Abstract

History of Anthropology is a series of annual volumes, inaugurated in 1983, each of which treats a theme of major importance in both the history and current practice of anthropological inquiry. Drawing its title from a poem of W.H. Auden's, the present volume, Malinowski, Rivers, Benedict, and Others (the fourth in the series) focuses on the emergence of anthropological interest in "culture and personality" during the 1920s and 1930s. It also explores the historical, cultural, literary, and biological background of major figures associated with the movement, including Bronislaw Manlinowski, Edward Sapir, Abram Kardiner, Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead, and Gregory Bateson. Born in the aftermath of World War I, flowering in the years before and after World War II, severely attacked in the 1950s and 1960s, "culture and personality" was subsequently reborn as "psychological anthropology." Whether this foreshadows the emergence of a major anthropological subdiscipline (equivalent to cultural, social, biological, or linguistic anthropology) from the current welter of "adjectival" anthropologies remain to be seen. In the meantime, the essays collected in the volume may encourage a rethinking of the historical roots of many issues of current concern. Included in this volume are the contributions of Jeremy MacClancy, William C. Manson, William Jackson, Richard Handler, Regna Darnell, Virginia Yans-McLaughlin, James A. Boon, and the editor.

Abstract

Anthropology is usually associated with the study of society, but the anthropologist must also understand people as individuals. This study demonstrates how methods of social analysis can be applied to the individual, while remaining entirely distinct from psychology and other perspectives on the person.

Abstract

«Voici, dans la Bibliothèque des Histoires, un livre qui ne ressemble pas aux autres. Ce n'est pas la mise en forme d'une enquête, mais une tentative de laboratoire : des historiens cherchent à se faire les historiens d'eux-mêmes. Ces essais peuvent et doivent se lire comme ils ont été écrits, indépendamment les uns des autres. Mais leur écriture, qui a répondu à une commande pressante, et leur rassemblement voudraient surtout contribuer à l'élaboration d'un genre : l'ego-histoire. Un genre nouveau, pour un nouvel âge de la conscience historique. Ni autobiographie faussement littéraire, ni confessions inutilement intimes, ni profession de foi abstraite, ni tentative de psychanalyse sauvage. L'exercice consiste à éclairer sa propre histoire comme on ferait l'histoire d'un autre, à essayer d'appliquer à soi-même, chacun dans son style et avec les méthodes qui lui sont chères, le regard froid, englobant, explicatif qu'on a si souvent porté sur d'autres. D'expliciter, en historien, le lien entre l'histoire qu'on a faite et l'histoire qui vous a fait. Au lecteur d'apprécier ce que le résultat apporte de renouvellement aux genres éprouvés de la mémoire personnelle et d'approfondissement dans l'intelligence du temps».

Abstract

This volume examines the dynamic relationship between the body, clothing, and identity in sub-Saharan Africa and raises questions that have previously been directed almost exclusively to a Western and urban context. Unusual in its treatment of the body surface as a critical frontier in the production and authentification of identity, Clothing and Difference shows how the body and its adornment have been used to construct and contest social and individual identities in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, and other African societies during both colonial and post-colonial times.Grounded in the insights of anthropology and history and influenced by developments in cultural studies, these essays investigate the relations between the personal and the public, and between ideas about the self and those about the family, gender, and national groups. They explore the bodily and material creation of the changing identities of women, spirits, youths, ancestors, and entrepreneurs through a consideration of topics such as fashion, spirit possession, commodity exchange, hygiene, and mourning.By taking African societies as its focus, Clothing and Difference demonstrates that factors considered integral to Western social development—heterogeneity, migration, urbanization, transnational exchange, and media representation—have existed elsewhere in different configurations and with different outcomes. With significance for a wide range of fields, including gender studies, cultural studies, art history, performance studies, political science, semiotics, economics, folklore, and fashion and textile analysis/design, this work provides alternative views of the structures underpinning Western systems of commodification, postmodernism, and cultural differentiation.Contributors.
