Rural Economic Development
NARA | GOAL THREE August 2011 - March 2013 Cumulative Report RURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Northwest Advance Renewables Alliance NARA is led by Washington State University and supported by the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative Competitive Grant no. 2011-68005-30416 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. Goal Three: Rural Economic Development: Enhance and sustain rural economic development Summary Sustainability is the crucial attribute necessary for the emerging biofuels industry to develop our rural economy. The NARA project is assessing sustainability of this emerging industry using a triple bottom line approach of assessing economic viability (techno-economic analysis – TEA), environmental impact (life cycle analysis – LCA), and social impact (community impact analysis – CIA). In addition to developing these three primary analytical tools, additional primary data is being collected. These data include social and market data through the Environmentally Preferred Products (EPP) team and environmental data through the Sustainable Production Team. The following efforts within the Systems Metrics program are integrated to provide a sustainability analysis of the project: The Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) Team assesses the overall economics of the biofuels production process from feedstock delivered to the mill gate through to biojet sale. This analysis includes the overall production mass and energy balance as well as the value needs for co-products. The TEA models the capital requirement plus the variable and fixed operating costs for producing biojet from forest residuals using our chosen pathways. The Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Community Impact Team assesses the environmental impact of producing aviation biofuels with our chosen pathway and compares it to the petroleum products for which it will substitute. -

Marshall Sahlins's Stone Age Economics, a Semicentenary
H-Announce Marshall Sahlins’s Stone Age Economics, a Semicentenary Estimate Announcement published by Federica Morelli on Thursday, June 6, 2019 Type: Call for Papers Date: November 30, 2019 Location: Italy Subject Fields: Anthropology, Economic History / Studies, Intellectual History, Social Sciences In 1972, American anthropologist Marshall Sahlins published Stone Age Economics. Now a classic of modern anthropology, and probably the most important work in economic anthropology, the book had a profound and critical impact on many different social sciences. From the identification and original use of the category of the mode of production to the idea of primitive affluence; from a vision of exchanges as defined also, and decisively, by their social terms to an illuminating interpretation of Mauss’s The Gift as the discover of the non-contractual element of the social contract; from the development of a cultural perspective on the economy and the alternative it provided to the economicism of formalist anthropology, with the proposal of an “anthropological economics”; the surprising modernity of Stone Age Economics provides social scientists with extremely fertile and inspiring ideas and approaches, whose continuing relevance is beyond dispute. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary, theAnnals of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi. An Interdisciplinary Journal of Economics, History and Political Science (http://www.annalsfondazioneluigieinaudi.it/en) will host a monographic issue on Marshall Sahlins’s Stone Age Economics (“A Semicentenary Estimate”), to be published in 2021. The mission of the Annals of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi (which builds upon the tradition of cultural openness fostered by the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi di Torino, established in 1964 by the scholar of political theory at Cornell University Mario Einaudi, with the support of the family of economist and former President of the Italian Republic Luigi Einaudi) is to contribute to promote interdisciplinarity as a method of scientific inquiry and a highly relevant issue in social sciences. -
Multilinear Euo Lution: Eaolution and Process'
'1. Multilinear Euolution: Eaolution and Process' THEMEANING Of EVOLUIION Cultural evolution, although long an unfashionable concept, has commanded renewed interest in the last two decades. This interest does not indicate any seriousreconsideration of the particular historical reconstructions of the nineteenth-century evolutionists, for thesc were quite thoroughly discredited on empirical grounds. It arises from the potential methodological importance of cultural evolution for con- temporary research, from the implications of its scientific objectives, its taxonomic procedures, and its conceptualization of historical change and cultural causality. An appraisal of cultural evolution, therefore, must be concerned with definitions and meanings. But I do not wish to engage in semantics. I shall attempt to show that if certain distinc- tions in the concept of evolution are made, it is evident that certain methodological propositions find fairly wide acceptance today. In order to clear the ground, it is necessaryfirst to consider the meaning of cultural evolution in relation to biological evolution, for there is a wide tendency to consider the former as an extension of, I This chapter is adapted lrom "Evolution and Process," in Anthropology Today: An Encyclopedic Inaentory, ed.

There is, of course,a relation- ship betrveen biological and cultural evolution in that a minimal dcvclopment of the Hominidae was a prccondition of culture.

ENLIGHTENMENT? Some Lessons of the Twentieth Century
Annu. Rev. Anthropol. 1999. 28:i–xxiii Copyright © 1999 by Annual Reviews. All rights reserved WHAT IS ANTHROPOLOGICAL ENLIGHTENMENT? Some Lessons of the Twentieth Century Marshall Sahlins Department of Anthropology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637; e-mail: [email protected] Key Words: modernity, indigenization, translocality, culture, development n Abstract A broad reflection on some of the major surprises to anthropo- logical theory occasioned by the history, and in a number of instances the tenac- ity, of indigenous cultures in the twentieth century. We are not leaving the cen- tury with the same ideas that got us there. Contrary to the inherited notions of progressive development, whether of the political left or right, the surviving victims of imperial capitalism neither became all alike nor just like us. Contrary to the “despondency theory” of mid-century, the logical and historical precursor of dependency theory, surviving indigenous peoples aim to take cultural re- sponsibility for what has been done to them. Across large parts of northern North America, even hunters and gatherers live, largely by hunting and gather- ing. The Eskimo are still there, and they are still Eskimo. Around the world the peoples give the lie to received theoretical oppositions between tradition and change, indigenous culture and modernity, townsmen and tribesmen, and other clichés of the received anthropological wisdom. Reports of the death of indige- nous cultures—as of the demise of anthropology—have been exaggerated.

Leslie White (1900-1975)
Neoevolutionism Leslie White Julian Steward Neoevolutionism • 20th century evolutionists proposed a series of explicit, scientific laws liking cultural change to different spheres of material existence. • Although clearly drawing upon ideas of Marx and Engels, American anthropologists could not emphasize Marxist ideas due to reactionary politics. • Instead they emphasized connections to Tylor and Morgan. Neoevolutionism • Resurgence of evolutionism was much more apparent in U.S. than in Britain. • Idea of looking for systematic cultural changes through time fit in better with American anthropology because of its inclusion of archaeology. • Most important contribution was concern with the causes of change rather than mere historical reconstructions. • Changes in modes of production have consequences for other arenas of culture. • Material factors given causal priority Leslie White (1900-1975) • Personality and Culture 1925 • A Problem in Kinship Terminology 1939 • The Pueblo of Santa Ana 1942 • Energy and the Evolution of Culture 1943 • Diffusion Versus Evolution: An Anti- evolutionist Fallacy 1945 • The Expansion of the Scope of Science 1947 • Evolutionism in Cultural Anthropology: A Rejoinder 1947 • The Science of Culture 1949 • The Evolution of Culture 1959 • The Ethnology and Ethnography of Franz Boas 1963 • The Concept of Culture 1973 Leslie White • Ph.D. dissertation in 1927 on Medicine Societies of the Southwest from University of Chicago. • Taught by Edward Sapir. • Taught at University of Buffalo & University of Michigan. • Students included Marshall Sahlins and Elman Service. • A converted Boasian who went back to Morgan’s ideas of evolutionism after reading League of the Iroquois. • Culture is based upon symbols and uniquely human ability to symbolize. • White calls science of culture "culturology" • Claims that "culture grows out of culture" • For White, culture cannot be explained biologically or psychologically, but only in terms of itself. -

A number of thinkers during this period began to discuss evolution and how it might occur. The prevailing theoretical orientation in anthropology during the 19th century was based on a belief that culture generally evolves in a uniform and progressive manner; that is, most societies were believed to pass through the same series of stages, to arrive ultimately at a common end. -

SÉRIE ANTROPOLOGIA 197 SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY WITH ABORIGINAL PEOPLES IN CANADA: FIRST IMPRESSIONS Stephen Grant Baines (English version of Série Antropologia 196) Brasília 1996 SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY WITH ABORIGINAL PEOPLES IN CANADA: FIRST IMPRESSIONS Stephen G. Baines1 Research survey in Canada I carried out a preliminary research survey of five weeks duration - July and August 1995 - in some of the principal academic centres of anthropology with aboriginal peoples in Canada, financed with a Faculty Research Scholarship from the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a research grant from the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq). I refer to my stay in Canada as a preliminary research survey, since such a short stay could not be classified as research. In this paper I in no way aim to outline a history of the discipline, a task already done by many Canadian anthropologists, and which I am by no means qualified to do, but merely comment on my first impressions from an outsider perspective, and try to piece together and juxtapose some of the viewpoints of anthropologists interviewed. I visited the departments of anthropology at the Université de Montréal and McGill University in Montreal, Laval University in Quebec city, the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto, in Ontario, and also visited Ottawa. From Toronto, I travelled by coach across Canada to British Columbia, where I made short visits to the university Program of First Nation Studies of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Cultural Education Society and Simon Fraser University (SCES/SFU), in Kamloops; the Shuswap reserves of Adam's Lake and Skeetchestn; the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George; the Witsuwit'en reserve of Moricetown; the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Simon Fraser University in Vancouver; as well as Victoria, capital of BC. -
