  • Linton, Ralph
    ANTHROPOLOGY THOUGHT JUNE 2019 Linton, Ralph Ralph Linton (1893–1953), American cultural anthropologist, was one of the major contributors to the reconstruction of anthropology during the second quarter of the twentieth century. Trained in the traditions of the North American “historical school” of anthropology, Lin ton remained loyal throughout his career to the broad interests and general principles established by Franz Boas and other American anthropologists. But with the publication in 1936 of The Study of Man, which was quickly recognized by social scientists all over the world as a pioneering study of human behavior, he embarked on a series of creative and stimulating studies which provided new conceptions of social structure and cultural organization. He related these conceptions in a clear if somewhat simple manner to the biological individual and his personality and utilized them in his analyses of the processes of cultural change. Linton belonged to the “third generation” of American academic anthropologists, succeeding such second-generation students of Putnam and Boas as Wissler, Dixon, Kroeber, Goldenweiser, Lowie, Sapir, and Radin. These academicians, together with a number of outstanding journeymen and masters involved more in field research than in teaching, had created a distinctive variety of anthropology. Like Tylor in England, they had a holistic approach to human studies which is still, thanks in part to Linton, a mark of American anthropology. In the Americas much more than in Europe almost all anthropological study and training had been nurtured by experience in the field and disciplined by the empiricism required by field work on specific problems treating the temporal and spatial dimensions of culture.

  • Franz Boas: Who He Was, What He Did, and Why It Matters
    Anderson 1 Dylan Anderson Carol Pannocione GERM-1020 7 February 2020 Franz Boas: Who he was, what he did, and why it matters Franz Boas, to this day, is a figure in anthropology whose importance to the discipline can hardly be rivaled by any other figure. The ways in which his radical school of thought overhauled American anthropology cannot be overstated. Old ways of thinking with regards to race and culture were thrown to the wayside by Boas and his students. His life as well as his works were drenched in controversy and rivalry, partly due to his attack on the academic status quo. 1. Biography When Bendix Feibes Aron Levi was made to take a surname in 1808, he took the surname Boas, after the character from the Book of Ruth (Zumwalt 2). Bendix Boas went on, then, to become a textile merchant in Lubbecke, cementing a position in the community (2). At some point, his descendants moved to Minden (3). This is where Boas’ life began. Franz Uri Boas was born in Minden, a small town in the Westphalia region of Prussia on 9 July 1858 (King 14). His parents – Meier and Sophie Boas – were upper-class and highly educated Jews who ascribed to Haskalah thought (15). Haskalah was a philosophical school of Judaism concerned with the moral and cultural renewal of Judaism, especially the revival of the Hebrew language in daily usage. Although he was an excellent student all throughout school, his teachers bemoaned the fact that he never had any firm interest (King 16). He did especially well in high school in the Anderson 2 classical languages, geography, and arithmetic (16).

  • Culture and Personality Studies
    Culture and Culture and Personality studies: Introduction ‘Culture and personality’ is the earliest name of the school or thoughts of school. It is important study in psychological anthropology, thus culture and personality studies, also called psychological anthropology. Its beginnings are associated especially with the great American linguist and anthropologist Edward Sapir (1884—1939). Sapir was influenced by German Gestalt psychologists, who had argued that perception could be understood only when the thing perceived was viewed not as an assemblage of separate elements, but as an organized pattern (Gestalt). So when one looks, for example, at a landscape painting, one sees it not as flat planes of colour laid against one another, but as a whole — ‘a landscape’. This example shows us too why a whole may be more than the sum of its parts and have its own essential properties. In this Gestalt view, meaning was a function of organized patterns, and Sapir applied this idea to his analyses of language and of culture and personality. Sapir was suspicious of the contemporary concept of culture, which he described as ‘tidy tables of contents’ attached to particular groups of people. In an influential 1934 essay he argued that ‘the more fully one tries to understand a culture, the more it seems to take on the characteristics of a personality organization’ (1985 [1949]: 594). The study of the development of personality was Sapir’s solution to the problems posed by the way that, in anthropological accounts, culture ‘can be made to assume the appearance of a closed system of behaviour’ (p. 594).

  • The Tasks of the Ethnologist and the Linguist in Brazil
    INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCE BULLETIN THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF THE ANDAMAN ISLANDS I consider it a matter of urgency that the somatological surveys which the Indian anthropologists, Dr. B. G. Guha and Dr. S. S. Sarkar, initiated early in 1948 among the last önge tribes on Rutland Island and the surviving indigenous inhabitants on Little Andaman1 should be continued. There are probably now not as many as 50 representatives of the Önge tribes still surviving on Rutland Island. They and the indigenous inhabitants of the neighbouring islands could certainly furnish much valuable information concerning the racial and cultural characteristics of their stock and thus provide valuable material for a general study of the racial history of India and the surrounding region. I happen to know that the above-mentioned anthropologists had to abandon the field research they had undertaken, merely because they could not obtain the requisite financial resources. Unfortunately, very little material is available on the somatology of the Andaman islanders. It is therefore all the more regrettable that (as I found out privately) the large amount of anthropological material that Baron E. Von Eickstedt collected among these natives in January 1928 was lost in the last world war. Of the few suggestions put forward in this paper, I consider the most'urgent tasks to be somatological research among the original inhabitants of Little Andaman, and a comprehensive investigation of the true pygmies whom I discovered in the Schrader Mountains of New Guinea. THE TASKS OF THE ETHNOLOGIST AND THE LINGUIST IN BRAZIL DARCY RIBEIRO A study of the reactions of Brazilian Indian groups in the face of advancing civilization over the last fifty years, and of their prospects of survival, leads inevitably to the conclusion that tribal languages and cultures are gradually disappearing in modern Brazil.

The idea of a newsletter to sustain the momentum of research on the history of the disciplines was also mooted, and again there was discussion on whether this should be (in whole or part) Internet based.

Among them I must especially men- tion Professor Charles Wagley, under whose guidance I have had the pleasure to pursue graduate training. He has not only been a fine and patient advisor, he has also been a warm friend to whom I could ever turn in search of intellectual and personal assistance. Professor Wagley belongs to that rare breed of individuals who combine quality scholarship with humanism. He and his wife, Dona Cecilia Roxo Wagley, have provided much support to my family and me by their friendship. To them I tender my very warmest thanks. The other members of my committee, Drs. Paul Magnarella, Maxine Margo! is, Anthony 01 iver- Smith, and Charles Wood, were patient and extremely helpful. Their comments and suggestions for revision of the early draft of this dissertation were decisive for its improvement. I thank them all for their guidance, their suggestions, and their friendship. I alone am to blame for any shortcomings. Many other colleagues and friends have helped my family and me in sundry ways during our long stay in the United States. To Dr. Terry McCoy, Jane and Michael Painter, Tracy and Don Fairbains, Elisa and Samuel Sa, James Jones, John Wilson, Gilberto Velho, and Newton Monteiro I am most grateful; their assistance was considerable.
