  • Invented Or Inherited?
    Call for Papers 12th UNEeCC Conference Culture: Invented or Inherited? 7-9 November 2018 University of Malta, Valletta Campus Culture is ‘the way-of-life in an ecosystem characteristic of a particular people’ (Keesing 1981:68). This is only one of the countless definitions given to this term which is ‘surprisingly’ and ‘notoriously’ difficult to define due to its dynamic nature (Smith and Riley 2011). Underlying dimensions characterising early and modern Europe, such as the economic situation of specific countries and humanitarian crises may be determining factors by which its collectivist culture has been constantly in flux, particularly in its production and consumption. One would question the affects which these factors may have on the transmission of traditional and popular European cultures and if their core components are, in fact, inherited or invented. The main objective of this conference is to develop critical arguments based on two concepts which can be non-homogenous and overlapping at the same time, namely (i) Culture inheritance and (ii) Cultural invention. Key questions relevant to this conference are: (i) ‘how does the concept of European Capitals of Culture consider the invention and inheritance of cultures?’; (ii) ‘What avenues are being taken by ECoC programmers to strike a balance in the promotion of cultural components which are ‘invented’ and those based on grass-root identities?’; and (iii) ‘What are the core arguments surrounding the questions of whether a culture is invented or inherited?.

  • Tourism and Cultural Identity: the Case of the Polynesian Cultural Center
    Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 1, Issue 2 – Pages 101-120 Tourism and Cultural Identity: The Case of the Polynesian Cultural Center By Jeffery M. Caneen Since Boorstein (1964) the relationship between tourism and culture has been discussed primarily in terms of authenticity. This paper reviews the debate and contrasts it with the anthropological focus on cultural invention and identity. A model is presented to illustrate the relationship between the image of authenticity perceived by tourists and the cultural identity felt by indigenous hosts. A case study of the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie, Hawaii, USA exemplifies the model’s application. This paper concludes that authenticity is too vague and contentious a concept to usefully guide indigenous people, tourism planners and practitioners in their efforts to protect culture while seeking to gain the economic benefits of tourism. It recommends, rather that preservation and enhancement of identity should be their focus. Keywords: culture, authenticity, identity, Pacific, tourism Introduction The aim of this paper is to propose a new conceptual framework for both understanding and managing the impact of tourism on indigenous host culture. In seminal works on tourism and culture the relationship between the two has been discussed primarily in terms of authenticity. But as Prideaux, et. al. have noted: “authenticity is an elusive concept that lacks a set of central identifying criteria, lacks a standard definition, varies in meaning from place to place, and has varying levels of acceptance by groups within society” (2008, p. 6). While debating the metaphysics of authenticity may have merit, it does little to guide indigenous people, tourism planners and practitioners in their efforts to protect culture while seeking to gain the economic benefits of tourism.

  • Why a Public Anthropology? Notes and References
    WHY A PUBLIC ANTHROPOLOGY? NOTES AND REFERENCES While the placement of notes and references online is still relatively rare, they are quite easy to examine in a PDF online format. Readers should use find (or control F) with a fragment of the quote to discover the cited reference. In a number of cases, I have added additional material so advanced readers, if they wish, can explore the issue in greater depth. Find can also be used to track down relevant citations, explore a topic of interest, or locate a particular section (e.g. Chapter 2 or 3.4). May I make a request? Since this Notes and References section contains over 1,300 references, it is likely that, despite my best efforts, there are still incomplete references and errors. I would appreciate readers pointing them out to me, especially since I can, in most cases, readily correct them. Thank you. Readers can email me at [email protected].

Quoting him (1961[1922]:7-8): There is all the difference between a sporadic plunging into the company of natives, and being really in contact with them.

  • Early Researchers and Development of Cultural Sociology
    International Journal for Empirical Education and Research Early Researchers and Development of Cultural Sociology Maria M. Goodson Institute of Geoecology and Geoinformation Adam Mickiewicz University Email: [email protected] (Author of Correspondence) Poland Abstract Culture is the social behavior and norms found in human societies. Culture is considered a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies. Cultural universals are found in all human societies; these include expressive forms like art, music, dance, ritual, religion, and technologies like tool usage, cooking, shelter, and clothing. The concept of material culture covers the physical expressions of culture, such as technology, architecture and art, whereas the immaterial aspects of culture such as principles of social organization (including practices of political organization and social institutions), mythology, philosophy, literature (both written and oral), and science comprise the intangible cultural heritage of a society. Keywords: Cultural Change; Early Modern Discourses; Development of Cultural Sociology; ISSN Online: 2616-4833 ISSN Print: 2616-4817 12 1. Introduction In the humanities, one sense of culture as an attribute of the individual has been the degree to which they have cultivated a particular level of sophistication in the arts, sciences, education, or manners. The level of cultural sophistication has also sometimes been seen to distinguish civilizations from less complex societies. Such hierarchical perspectives on culture are also found in class-based distinctions between a high culture of the social elite and a low culture, popular culture, or folk culture of the lower classes, distinguished by the stratified access to cultural capital.

  • In the Design of Cultures, Skinner Suggested That
    Behavior and Social Issues, 11, 14-30 (2001). © Behaviorists for Social Responsibility COMMENTARIES ON “THE DESIGN OF CULTURES” ON THE DESIGN OF CULTURES: 1961 AND 2001 In The Design of Cultures, Skinner suggested that “there is considerable advantage in considering …governmental, religious, economic, educational, and therapeutic institutions…simply as behavioral technologies” (Skinner, 1999, p. 47). In this article, Skinner called for bringing scientific principles of behavior to bear on the design of cultural practices that are likely to enhance the survival of a culture. In the wake of the horrifying events of September 11, it is evident that Skinner’s society has neglected at its own peril the opportunity to systematically design and maintain cultural practices that enhance its own survival. And as Skinner has said elsewhere “If your culture has not convinced you [to work on its behalf], so much the worse for that culture” (Skinner, 1969, p. 40). It is also evident, however, that knowledge of behavioral principles is not enough to insure good design or adequate maintenance of cultural practices with survival-enhancing outcomes. One reason this is true is that behavioral principles are content-free. Although derived from empirically observed events such as tone presentations, lever presses and food deliveries, the principles are not “about” those particulars. In fact they are not “about” any particulars. Like all scientific principles or process laws, their terms specify classes that are “spatiotemporally unrestricted” (Hull, 1989, p. 92). Specifically, behavioral principles entail terms that specify functional relations between the classes called “operants” or “respondents” and the classes of environmental events designated as “consequences (reinforcing or punishing)”, “discriminative stimuli”, “establishing operations”, conditioned stimuli”, etc.

  • The World Practice of Development of Writing for Non-Literate Cultures
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 10 (2018 11) 1635-1652 ~ ~ ~ УДК 81.25 The World Practice of Development of Writing for Non-Literate Cultures Aleksandra A. Sitnikova* Siberian Federal University 79 Svobodny, Krasnoyarsk, 660041, Russia Received 04.09.2018, received in revised form 24.09.2018, accepted 05.10.2018 The article focuses on foreign scientific practices in the creation of orthographies for unwritten languages in order to find a high-quality and effective algorithm for the Enets writing approval and development. The review of modern foreign researches is dominated by the analysis of the publications issued by the scholars of SIL international, the most experienced and authoritative organization in this field. The first part of the article gives a description of the algorithm for the development of written languages for the indigenous peoples, the description being recognized as the most promising at the beginning of the 21st century. It highlights the stages, principles and scientific attitudes, lists linguistic and non-linguistic challenges that arise in the course of the development of writing. The second part analyses specific cases of a) the SIL scholars’ successful creation of writing for the Mexican languages, in particular, for the Mixtec language; b) unsuccessful attempts to create the writing for the people of Darma living in Nepal on the border with India. It is concluded that modern techniques in the field of orthographies can be used to create a written Enets language. Keywords: orthography for unwritten languages, unwritten languages, a case study of the development of writing in the 21st century, the Enets language.
