2007 CHOICE Outstanding Academic TitleIn this highly original book, anthropologist F. Allan Hanson reveals an entirely unanticipated but vital link between two of the most widely discussed features of contemporary American society: the computer revolution and the culture wars. Hanson argues that the culture wars stem from a divergence in the evolutionary paths of society and culture. Societies have evolved significantly over the last few millennia from small bands of farmers or hunter-gatherers into huge, internally diverse nation-states, while cultures—the closed systems of meanings and symbols that kept small, face-to-face societies together—have failed to keep pace. If cultures became more open, Hanson contends, then the maladaptive rupture between society and culture would be healed and the clashes that currently beset us would be greatly diminished. Interweaving lucid analysis with concrete case studies of common law, education, and other areas of contemporary life, Hanson demonstrates how the widespread use of computers is, in fact, encouraging more originality and open-mindedness, with the potential to ease polarization and calm the culture wars.

Les affaires du corps s’opposent aux affaires de l’esprit, le côté aliments au côté croyance. Ce sont là des manières différentes d’exprimer un clivage fondamental de l’existence et de l’univers tels qu’ils sont perçus par les Rapas. Essentiellement, c’est la distinction entre le profane et le sacré. En d’autres termes, les Rapas incluent dans le « coté nourriture » pae ma’a ou dans le « côté corps » pae tino ces aspects de la vie que nous avons coutume d’appeler économiques, sociaux ou politiques. La religion et la morale appartiennent au « côté esprit », pae varua ou au « côté croyance », paea fa’aro’o. Ce livre traite du « côté corps » de l’existence à Rapa. J’ai cherché d’une part à décrire l’économie, la société et la vie politique telles qu’elles me sont apparues au cours d’un séjour d’une année en 1964. J’ai organisé ces données de manière à les rendre intelligibles aux lecteurs de chez nous ; cependant j’essaierai, dans la mesure du possible, de montrer en quoi les diverses coutumes, croyances et organisations qui composent le « côté nourriture » sont signifiantes pour les Rapas. En cela nous suivons les préceptes de Malinowski : « Notre objectif est de saisir le point de vue de l’indigène, sa relation avec la vie, de comprendre sa vision de son monde ». C’est Malinowski lui-même qui souligne.

"What impact has technology had on cultural meanings, values, and symbols? This anthropological exploration shows how technologies produce novel and sometimes jarring realignments among cultural institutions. Contemporary reproductive, medical, genetic, and information technologies forge unprecedented family relationships, produce a new mode of thinking based on the confluence of artificial and human intelligence, and reconfigure conventional scales of time and space. Taken together, they redefine what it is to be human" "This book is a uniquely original assessment of the consequences of recent technologies for the conventional meanings, shared values and symbols that constitute culture. As with the geological shifts generated by the earth's tectonic plates, technologies produce novel and sometimes jarring realignments among cultural institutions. Lucid prose featuring vivid examples and insightful analysis describes how contemporary reproductive, medical, genetic, and information technologies forge unprecedented family relationships, produce a new mode of thinking based on the confluence of artificial and human intelligence, and reconfigure conventional scales of time and space. Taken together, they redefine what it is to be human"
