  • 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).

    Current Anthropology Volume 60, Number 4, August 2019 559 Freud among the Boasians Psychoanalytic Influence and Ambivalence in American Anthropology by Kevin P. Groark In this article, I present an unpublished letter in which Franz Boas offers what would become his final remarks on the work of Sigmund Freud and the influence of psychoanalysis on anthropology. I explore the intellectual and inter- personal field of early psychoanalytic anthropology, outlining Boas’s empirical objections to Freud’s “ethnology” (what we might call the letter’s manifest content), while exploring the less obvious latent factors underpinning his antipathy toward psychoanalytic thought: the marginalization of the Boasian paradigm at Columbia University, the cultural impact of Freud’s “untenable” theories, and most significant, the paradoxical and ambivalent appeal of psychoanalysis among Boas’s former students and disciples. I close with a set of reflections on the current relationship between an- thropology and psychoanalysis, offering thoughts on the role a cultural psychodynamic approach might play in what Géza Róheim called “the anthropology of the future.” Introduction: Remembrance of Things Past Several months earlier, just after Freud’s death, Kaempffert had published two critical retrospectives of Freud’s legacy in On a cold winter day in February 1940, several years after his his New York Times “Science in the News” column. “Now that retirement, Professor Emeritus Franz Boas sat at his desk in the Sigmund Freud is gone,” he wrote, “the world is trying to judge fi spacious Schermerhorn Hall of ce he still occupied in the De- him.

  • This Is a Personal Recollection of Influential Individuals and Theories in California Archaeology. I Use the Framework of Evolut
    THE EVOLUTION OF CALIFORNIA ARCHAEOLOGY: ANCESTOR/DESCENDANT RELATIONSHIPS SANDRA E. HOLLIMON DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES SANTA ROSA JUNIOR COLLEGE This is a personal recollection of influential individuals and theories in California archaeology. I use the framework of evolution to describe the relationships between ancestors and their descendants in an intellectual genealogy. This is intended to describe persons and perspectives that have been important in my development as an archaeologist, rather than a comprehensive history of the discipline of California archaeology. Finally, I include the names of several of California anthropology’s early women researchers, who have not traditionally been considered as influential individuals in our discipline. INTELLECTUAL GENEALOGY How do our teachers influence our theoretical perspectives? How do these in turn impact the way we perform archaeological research? Participants in the plenary session were asked to consider these questions and provide our perspectives based on personal experiences. I chose to approach the topic of intellectual genealogy within an evolutionary framework of cultural transmission. In this piece, I discuss the importance of ancestor and descendant relationships within California archaeology generally, and in my own development as an archaeologist specifically. ANCESTORS Franz Boas may rightly be considered the “Father of American Anthropology.” He founded the first anthropology department at an American university, at Columbia in New York in 1896. Alfred L. Kroeber was Boas' first doctoral student at Columbia, and he later became the first professor in the U.C. Berkeley Department of Anthropology, which was founded in 1901, and was the second such department in America. Boas provided two important theoretical and methodological foundations that are principles critical to anthropological practice.
