  • Beyond the Domestic/Public Dichotomy
    Hitotsubashi Journal of Arts and Sciences 34 (1993) 65-73. C The Hitotsubashi Academy BEYOND THE DOMESTIC/PUBLIC DICHOTOMY : PROBLEMS AND NEW DIRECTIONS MAKIKO T. HANAMI The Domestic/Public Dichotomy Nearly twenty years ago, in a work that has become a landmark in women's studies by female anthropologists. Michelle Rosaldo proposed a dichotomy between a "domestic" orientation in women and a "public" orientation in men as a theoretical framework to anal- yze the universal position of women. In the theoretical overview of the book Woman. Culture, and Society (Rosaldo & Lamphere 1 974), Rosaldo accounted for the difference between the sexes in terms of this dichotomy by stating that there is a world-wide asymmetry of gender-identified activities: women's activities tended to be undervalued compared to those of their sexual counterpart and men were recognized as having culturally legitimated authority over women. By her definition, "domestic" meant "those minimal institutions and modes of activity that are organized immediately around one or more mothers and their children," and the "public" referred to "activities, institutions, and forms of association that link, rank, organize, or subsume particular mother-chi]d groups" (Rosaldo 1974: 23). She hypothesized that women are primarily involved in "domestic" relations and activities, while men are free to form broader associations in the public domain. Women are bound to the "enduring, time- consuming and emotionally-compelling" commitment as exemplified in a mother's relation with her infant child, whereas men can keep their distance from the "messiness" of domestic life, and engage themselves in the hierarchical, political world.

    Interview with Louise Lamphere Interviewer: Amy Goldstein Date: May 30, 2014 Location: Washington, D.C. Transcribed by Leigh Thomas and Bennett Knox *Notes in brackets were added by Louise Lamphere after the interview* Amy Goldstein: So, I’m going to ask you just to start by identifying yourself. Louise Lamphere: I’m Louise Lamphere. I’m a retired Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico. And I currently live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, split my time between that and New York City. Goldstein: And you had a role at Brown? Lamphere: Oh yes. And I was at Brown. I started teaching there in 1968. Left because I didn’t get tenure in 1975. And returned after my lawsuit in ‘79. Stayed until 1985. I had a year’s leave then [1985-86] but didn’t resign until ‘86. Goldstein: Okay, so now that we’ve done the synopsis, we’re going to take the slow story [laughs]. Lamphere: Okay [laughs]. Goldstein: So I’m wondering if you can start by just talking a little bit about the kind of environment you grew up in. Was there any activism in your home when you were a kid? Lamphere: Well, I come from a staunch Republican family in the state of Colorado. I grew up in Denver, Colorado. My mother’s family—her, both of her parents were German-American in sort of heritage. And my grandmother was born in Golden in 1885; she was part of the German community there, the same community that Coors came from. And my grandfather was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, but came to Colorado when he was five.

  • 'Anthropologists Are Talking' About Feminist Anthropology
    ‘Anthropologists Are Talking’ About Feminist Anthropology he series ‘Anthropologists Are Talking’ is a roundtable feature in which anthropologists talk candidly and spontaneously about issues Tof relevance to the discipline. The aim of the series is to reflect the kinds of conversations we all have (or wish we had) with colleagues — the fun and engaging ones in which we recount, joke, agree, dispute and formulate part of a broader vision of what anthropology is or could be. This conversation was held to mark the fact that the two landmark books in feminist anthropology, Woman, Culture and Society, edited by Michelle Zimbalist Rosaldo and Louise Lamphere, and Toward an Anthropology of Women, edited by Rayna R. Reiter (later Rapp) had celebrated their 30 year anniversaries in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Former Ethnos editor Don Kulick asked two of the books’ editors and the author of one of the most celebrated articles to appear in one of them to talk about the history of the volumes, about what happened next, and about their sense of feminist anthropology today. The participants are: louise lamphere Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the Uni- versity of New Mexico and past President of the American Anthropological Association. Louise has studied issues of women and work for 20 years, beginning with her book on women workers in Rhode Island industry, From Working Daughters to Working Mothers (1987). Among her other books are Sunbelt Working Mothers: Reconciling Family and Factory (1993, coauthored with Patricia Zavella, Felipe Gonzales and Peter Evans), and Situated Lives: Gender and Culture in Everyday Life (1997, co-edited with Helena Ragoné and Patricia Zavella).

At Stanford, in i971, a collective of female gradu­ ate students in anthropology organized an undergraduate lecture course, "Wo1nen in Cross-Cultural Perspective." At more or less the sa1ne time anthropologists in other colleges and universities began to prepare sim­ ilar courses, and to ask themselves what anthropologists might have to say about won1en and, conversely, how an interest in women might pro­ vide a new perspective in their field. When Rosal do (who taught that course, along with Jane Collier, Julia Howell, Kim Kramer, Janet Shepherd Fjellrnan, and Ellen Lewin) showed Lamphere a copy of the Stanford lectures, we both decided that the issues raised, the problems solved, and the questions that remained unasked (and so, unans\vered) were of sufficient importance and interest to be shared.

  • Women in Anthropology Jan Lister Wichita State University Wichita
    Women in Anthropology Jan Lister Wichita State University Wichita, Kansas Women have long held a place of prominence as professionals in the field of anthropology. To the general public the names Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict are practically synonymous with science. Ironically, however, women as subjects of inquiry have not held such status throughout most of anthropology's history as an academic discipline. This neglect, both in theory and in the fieldwork which is the hallmark of anthropology, has been addressed in recent years. A new generation of women anthropologists has been building on the legacy of those who preceded them by including women's experience in the configuration of culture as a legitimate sUbject worthy of inquiry and analysis. An historical survey of the treatment of women as a research problem, along with a sampling of the work of female anthropologists, particularly as it pertains to this topic, offers an overview of the contribution of women, both as professional and as sUbject, to the science of anthropology. During the formative years of anthropology, this new science in "accepting the psychic unity of mankind", "was kinder to women", making them "more welcome than in other professions" (Mead & Bunzel 1960:5). In an era when -few women worked outside the horne in a professional capacity the discipline was, of course, dominated by men. The women drawn to anthropology with its emphasis turning to fieldwork and the rigors inherent in it, were certainly uncommon women. Matilda Cox Stephenson first began her work among the Zuni with her husband, but later returned after his death to do extensive research under the auspices of the Bureau of American Ethnology.

  • Introduction: Women Writing Culture: Another Telling of the Story Of
    Introduction Women writing culture: another telling of the story of American anthropology Ruth Behar Department of Anthropology, University of Michigan The absence of models, in literature as in life, to say nothing of painting, is an occupational hazard for the artist, simply because models in art, in behavior, in growth of spirit and intellect - even if rejected - enrich and enlarge one’s view of existence. (Alice Walker, 1983) I have seen a woman sitting between the stove and the stars her fingers singed from snuffing out the candles of pure theory Finger and thumb: both scorched: I have felt that sacred wax blister my hand. (Adrienne Rich, 1989) Invocation The publication, in 1986, of the anthology Writing Culture: The Poetics and Politics of Ethnography set off a debate about the predicaments of cultural representation that shook up American anthropology and brought a new self-consciousness to the discipline (Clifford and Marcus, 1986; cf. Geertz, 1988). Even those who shredded the volume in their critiques acknow- ledged its importance by giving it their serious attention (Scholte, 1987; Sangren, 1988; Spencer, 1989; Geertz, 1988: 131). At 25,000 copies, the book has also sold well, a rare feat for an academic collection of essays published by a university press. That Writing Culture became the kind of book which anthropologists could vehemently disagree with, but not ignore, is remarkable if one considers that its major purpose was to make plain an incredibly obvious fact: that anthropologists write.’ To be sure, the various contributors took pains to show that anthropologists are writers of a peculiar sort, who have to deal with varying degrees of authority, allegory and angst, for their aim as authors is always to tell about what happened in ’the field’ after they Critique of Anthropology © 1993 (SAGE, London, Newbury Park and New 307 308 have returned to the academy, and usually a nice home in the suburbs (though this was implied more than overtly stated).
