Papers given at graduate seminars and idessarising from work for diplomas and higher degrees very often merit wider circulation and discussion without necessarily being ready for formal publication in professional journals. There obviously exists a need in social anthropology for serious critical and theoretical discussion; JASO sees this as its main purpose. The editors would like to express their thanks to Julia Unwin, John Niespolo, and all others who have helped with the production of this issue. FORMAT The journal is pUblished three times per year. Articles are welcome from students of anthropology and from peo~le in other dis­ ciplines. It is preferred that the main emphasis should be on analytical discussion rather than on plain description. Papers should be as short as is necessary to get the point over. As a general rule they should not exceed 5,000 words. They should follow the conventions for citations, notes and references used in the A.S.A. monographs. Comnlents will also be welcome. Communications should be addressed to the Journal Editors, Institute of Social Anthropology, 51 Banbury Road, Oxford. BACK ISSUES We have a.stock of back issues. Single issues are available at 35p in the U.K. and %1 (45p) abroad. Complete volumes (1(1970), II (1971),111(1972), IV(1973) and V(1974)) are each available at the following rates: U.K. - £1.00 to individuals, £1.50 to institutions; abroad ~ %3.00 (£1.25p) to individuals, %5 (£2.00) to institutions. The subscription for Vol.VI (1975) is the same. All prices cover postage. Cheques should be made out to J.A.S.O., and sent to the Journal Editors at 51 Banbury Road, Oxford. We regret that we have had to increase some of our rates. This is due to increased production costs, primarily the price of paper. 137. The Sexual Boundary - Puritr: Heterosexuality and Virginity. The 'pr~sentpaper is part of a larger essay concerrted With the position of women in social anthropology. In this essay I 'investigate sexual categories in terms' of relationship, boundary and content rather" than groups 'or individuals, since this gives us more freedom to make generalizations, and my aim is a very general one indeed. Inaed rtot, I think, give this paper any further introduction, sirtceboth the aim and the scope will be apparent from the following pages; Since Douglas (1966) wrote on purity and danger it has become clear that boundaries are very important to order, and indeed all-important to the conception of social and cultural categories, ·of which·the male/female ones constitute one antithetical set. Douglas herself investigates the implications of her theory in relation to the sexual distinction (1966, especially chapter 9), and although I would have liked to cite many of her arguments at length, I shall abstain from this and turn to a more general use of "boundarism" as such. Although the actual border-line between the sex-categories is somewhere explicit, spatially orlinguI"S'tically,it may also be covert within other relationships, or it may even seem to be non-existent as a line at all on the level of empirical reality.. 'l'his is just a preliminary warning that the boundary of this chapter denotes boundarismin general.. The purity and danger of the sex-categories thereby become relative not only to the ethnographic context but also to the theoretical level of discussion. This will become clearer in the course of analysis. The notions of purity and danger are from the outset loaded with implications for both eidos and'ethos (cf. Bateson, 1936) since they not only are used metaphorically for structure and anti-structure, but almost by definition simul~aneously designate an antithetical set of emotions also. This should be kept in mind at places, where it is not possible to disentangle conceptual from em.:Jtion~l. disorder, even not intellectually by the analyst,and of c6uree B~pa.thetically impossible \:) the natives of our examples, who are sometimes ourselves. Let us first 'consider the "normal" order of things, concerning sex-categories. On the level of behaviour, the notion of heterosexuality expresses what to most people and in most situations is considered appropriate sexual behaviour. In this sense, heterosexuality is pure,. it is not loaded with emotional ambivalence; it is orderly and proper in any sense of these words. But what is then het€lIlOSexuality?' As said, on the level of behaviour there is no ambiguity, since it designates the normal sexual union of a man and a woman. It is a natural relation, when men's and women's reproductive differentiation is considered. On a higher level: namely the CUltural, as opposed to the natural of this context, heteros~xuality denotes a potential unity through the duality of the conceptual categories of male and female. These categories are everywhere as distinct as are the reproductive functions, although in different ways, and for different reasons the conceptual complementarity of the two categories (yin and y~ng) leads us with reasonable certainty to presume that there is no conceptual ambigUity on the, level of the cognitive structure, as there was no emotional ambivalence towar~s this kind of sexual relation on the level of behaviour, not as part of the CUlturally standardized pattern, anyway. We shall now take one further step and p~o~eed to an investigation of the conceptual definition of the meanirg of the sex-categories, that is not only theirbound;tng from each other, but also their different contents, sinc~this can be done very lucidly in terms of boundarism. Till now, we have taken :aunive:rsal unambiguity and distinctive?es.s of ,the two sex-categories for granted, and this holds good at a certain level of conceptual:oppositions.formalJ,.y as well as functionally, But in 'terms of PUI'~ty and,dange~ ,this ,can no longer remain unchallenged in relation to me!:).ning •. Our entry into this subject will be through a rather elaborate empirical example of ,rare consistency and beauty, and whose potential for wide generalizations maybe even greater. Among the Tewa indians described by Ortiz (1969), the standard phrase of encouragement to a man, who is about to undertake a dangerous or demanding task, is: "be a woman, be a man", while the corresponding remark to a woman s:Lmply is: "bea'woman". This interesting point has got parallels in Qther spheres of the socio-culturalreality, most important in connection with the moiety system. The Tewa moieties, are not exogamous units, they are just ritual divisions of the society,reflecting a fundamental dual principle of classification. This of course is not unique to the Tewa, nor is it unique that the moieties are associated with the sex-categories, but it is almost unique that these· . sex~categories should be so defined as they are among the Tewa. Before discussing this noteworthy sexualplassification, I shallgi\re a brief outline of some relevant facts about the Tewa. As a starting point one may look at the child's gradual growth into a full member of the society, which among other things implies three rites of passage, all of them ~ost appropriately characterized as rites of incorporation. Without a detailed elaboration of the rites 'and symbols, we note that the child on the fourth day after birth goes through the first of these rites: the naming ritual. .. This is borne out by the "umbilical cord-cutting mother" and her assistant, who acted as midwives four days earlier. By this rite, throughout which the dualistic theme is repeated, the,ohild is not only ,bestowed with a name, but is thereby also incorporated into the society at large. During the first year of life, the child has to go through a second rite of incorporation: the water-giving rite. This time the child is incorporated into a specific moiety. The moieties are named the winter­ and the Svmmer~oiety,respectively,and it is the Winter-chief who precedes the riteforthe Winter··'C:hildren, during the half..;year period in which he holds the reG}Jonsibil:L't;.y for the whole Village.

    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • Richard Schechner
    “We Still Have to Dance and Sing” An Interview with Richard Foreman Richard Schechner Richard Foreman is an incessant author and highly focused director. Since 1992, at St. Mark’s Church on 2nd Avenue in Manhattan, Foreman has directed 11 of his own plays. The most recent, Maria del Bosco, opened on 27 December 2001. Over the years, with his Ontological-Hysteric Theatre, founded in 1968, Foreman has directed more than 50 of his own plays—and there are more plays still unproduced. Foreman also has frequently directed the works of others. Among my favorite Foreman productions are Brecht’s Threepenny Opera at Lin- coln Center in 1976, Moliere’s Don Juan at the Guthrie Theatre in 1982, and Suzan-Lori Parks’s Venus at the Public Theatre in New York in 1996. Foreman has often been in the pages of TDR, starting with his “Ontologic-Hysteric Man- ifesto II” in 1974 (18:3, T63) up to the program notes for Pearls for Pigs in 1998 (42:2, T158). Foreman’s plays have been collected in a number of books, from Plays and Manifestos (New York University Press, 1976) to the most recent, Par- adise Hotel and Other Plays (Overlook Press, 2001). SCHECHNER: I want to focus on post–September 11th. Your play, Now That Communism Is Dead My Life Feels Empty [2001], was to some degree about en- tering a new historic era. But now [November 2001] it appears that the U.S. government, either by intention or accident, has found a way to continue the Cold War under different auspices.

No part of this work covered by the copyright hereon may be reproduced or used in any form or by any means graphic, electronic, or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, taping, Web distribution or information storage retrieval systems without the written permission of the publisher. Summary Don Juan is a unique approach to the already popular legend of the philandering womanizer immortalized in literary and operatic works. Byron’s Don Juan, the name comically anglicized to rhyme with “new one” and “true one,” is a passive character, in many ways a victim of predatory women, and more of a picaresque hero in his unwitting roguishness. Not only is he not the seductive, ruthless Don Juan of legend, he is also not a Byronic hero. That role falls more to the narrator of the comic epic, the two characters being more clearly distinguished than in Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. In Beppo: A Venetian Story, Byron discovered the appropriateness of ottava rima to his own particular style and literary needs. This Italian stanzaic form had been exploited in the burlesque tales of Luigi Pulci, Francesco Berni, and Giovanni Battista Casti, but it was John Hookham Frere’s (1817-1818) that revealed to Byron the seriocomic potential for this flexible form in the satirical piece he was planning. The colloquial, conversational style of ottava rima worked well with both the narrative line of Byron’s mock epic and the serious digressions in which Byron rails against tyranny, hypocrisy, cant, sexual repression, and literary mercenaries.

  • Don Giovanni at the Crossroads of Pleasure and Virtue
    Don Giovanni at the Crossroads of Pleasure and Virtue Lydia Goehr and Daniel Herwitz, eds. 2006. The Don Giovanni Moment: Essays on the Legacy of an Opera. Columbia Themes in Philosophy, Social Criticism, and the Arts. New York: Columbia University Press. Reviewed by Edmund J. Goehring In a project, like The Don Giovanni Moment, that deals with the reception history of a canonical work, several kinds of questions can vie for attention. The volume's subtitle highlights a general interest in a historical question: the "legacy" it chooses to explore is largely one presented in nineteenth­ century imaginative and, to a lesser extent, philosophical works. (The main exception is Ingrid Rowland's discussion of religious ritual and the Don Juan legend before Mozart, "Don Giovanni: 'And what communion hath light with darkness?"') For some essays, the topic of history yields to one of criticism. Despite the introduction's contention that it attends less to Don Giovanni itself than to "the works written in the opera's shadow" (xvii), many contributors keep at least one eye fixed on the object casting that shadow. Finally, parts of the volume pose more abstract questions, where the issue becomes "how far this opera as a work of embodied myth redefines the relationship between art and morality" (xvii). This kind of question, not quite historiographical or analytical, seeks out "main themes;' which in this case comprise "power, seduction, [and] judgment" (xvii). An inclination to philosophize (or to interpret philosophy as that discipline involved with abstract themes) informs the collection at various levels. The first half of its title, for example, pays homage to Kierkegaard's famous interpretation, advanced in Either/Or ([ 1843] 1987), that describes Mozart's libertine not as an ethical being but as the musical embodiment of the sensuous; Don Giovanni's choice (or impulse) to follow the path of pleasure instead of virtue is reflected in an existence made up of a series of discrete moments.

  • Safaris to the Heart of All That Jazz
    Safaris to the heart of all that jazz.... JoniMitchell.com 2014 Biography Series by Mark Scott, Part 6 of 16 In January of 1974, Joni began an extensive tour of North America with the L.A. Express, wrapping up with three concerts at the New Victoria Theatre in London, England. The final concert at the New Victoria was videotaped and an edited version was broadcast on the BBC television program The Old Grey Whistle Test in November of 1974. Larry Carlton and Joe Sample were playing with The Crusaders at the time and both opted not to go on the road with Joni and the L.A. Express. Guitarist Robben Ford replaced Larry Carlton and Larry Nash filled in for Joe Sample on piano. In a 2011 interview for JoniMitchell.com, Max Bennett said that although the pay was good for this tour, the musicians could have made more money playing gigs in L.A. and doing session work in the recording studios. Max said that the musicians loved the music, however, and that they were treated royally in every way throughout the tour. Excellent food, first class accommodations, limousines, private buses and private planes were all provided for the band’s comfort. Max also made a point of mentioning the quality of the audiences that attended the concerts. Attention was focused on the performances so completely that practically complete silence reigned in the theaters and auditoriums until after the last note of any given song was performed. For Max Bennett, “As far as tours go - I've been on several tours - this was the epitome of any great tour I've ever been on.

Efforts in this direction are few, even though there is reasonable evidence to show that a consideration of time was pioneered in litera­ ture as early as the sixteenth century with the appearance of Lazarillo de Tormes, the prototype of the picaresque novel, a literary type which flourished in Spain during this period. It was Henri Bergson who dis­ covered for modern man the subjective nature of· time and its impact on man's idea of· reality. Few critics treat of the influence of subjective time on the form and structure of literary works, ana no significant study has examined the nature of· the subjective reality in any major work of English literature. Convinced that such a study could be used to demonstrate the unity of a major literary work, I have examined and attempted to analyze the ways in which many modern writers have used the idea of time as a continuous, internal flow to demonstrate their view of reality and how this idea of time becomes a means of unifying a work.
