  • Introduction ROBERT AUNGER a Number of Prominent Academics
    CHAPTER 1: Introduction ROBERT AUNGER A number of prominent academics have recently argued that we are entering a period in which evolutionary theory is being applied to every conceivable domain of inquiry. Witness the development of fields such as evolutionary ecology (Krebs and Davies 1997), evolutionary economics (Nelson and Winter 1982), evolutionary psychology (Barkow et al. 1992), evolutionary linguistics (Pinker 1994) and literary theory (Carroll 1995), evolutionary epistemology (Callebaut and Pinxten 1987), evolutionary computational science (Koza 1992), evolutionary medicine (Nesse and Williams 1994) and psychiatry (McGuire and Troisi 1998) -- even evolutionary chemistry (Wilson and Czarnik 1997) and evolutionary physics (Smolin 1997). Such developments certainly suggest that Darwin’s legacy continues to grow. The new millennium can therefore be called the Age of Universal Darwinism (Dennett 1995; Cziko 1995). What unifies these approaches? Dan Dennett (1995) has argued that Darwin’s “dangerous idea” is an abstract algorithm, often called the “replicator dynamic.” This dynamic consists of repeated iterations of selection from among randomly mutating replicators. Replicators, in turn, are units of information with the ability to reproduce themselves using resources from some material substrate. Couched in these terms, the evolutionary process is obviously quite general. for example, the replicator dynamic, when played out on biological material such as DNA, is called natural selection. But Dennett suggests there are essentially no limits to the phenomena which can be treated using this algorithm, although there will be variation in the degree to which such treatment leads to productive insights. The primary hold-out from “evolutionarization,” it seems, is the social sciences. Twenty-five years have now passed since the biologist Richard Dawkins introduced the notion of a meme, or an idea that becomes commonly shared through social transmission, into the scholastic lexicon.

  • 1 with Respect to Zulu: Revisiting Ukuhlonipha Hlonipho, to Give Its
    With Respect to Zulu: Revisiting ukuHlonipha Hlonipho, to give its form as a Zulu noun stem, is a form of respectful behavior in speech and action.1 Mentioned in colonial-era documents and other writings since the mid-19th century, it has been widespread in southern Africa, practiced among (at least) the Zulu, Xhosa, Swazi, and Sotho. Recent studies, including several very useful sociolinguistic and ethnographic descriptions, have focused their attention mainly upon isihlonipho sabafazi, the linguistic form of hlonipha associated with women (the isi- prefix implies a way of speaking).2 Indeed, a stereotype of hlonipha as “women’s language” goes back to ethnographic and linguistic literature of decades ago, and is described as a form of linguistic taboo in which a married woman must avoid speaking the name of her father-in-law. It is also often described as “old” or “traditional,” or even vanishing. While the existence and prominence of this stereotype is of interest in itself, the practice of ukuhlonipha (the general term, with infinitive prefix) is much wider than much of the literature on it recognizes. To focus solely on “women’s language” is to excise a wider frame of social, semiotic, and somatic meaning. Hlonipha is not only about language; bodily posture, comportment, and clothing are part of it too. Moreover, a narrow focus on “women’s language” implies ignoring hlonipha as practiced by men, as well as the practice of praise-performance (bonga), which, we propose, is the semiotic complement to hlonipha and joins with it in a broader Zulu notion of “respect.” The cultural background to these practices, we argue, is an ideology of language and comportment that understands performances of all kinds, including linguistic utterances, fundamentally as actions of the body.3 1 Focusing first on isihlonipha, we argue that the linguistic practice is itself seen as bodily activity in a Zulu ideology of language, and we explore the semiotic connection with other forms of respectful bodily comportment.

  • Nietzsche, the Anthropologists, and the Genealogy of Trauma
    genealogy Article Nietzsche, the Anthropologists, and the Genealogy of Trauma Iain P. Morrisson The Honors College, University of Houston, Houston, TX 77204, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this paper, I bring the Second and Third Essays of On the Genealogy of Morality into conversation with the anthropological work that Nietzsche uses to inform his understanding of human prehistory. More specifically, I show the ways in which Nietzsche’s genealogical use of prehistory both calls upon and departs from the work of figures like Edward Tylor, John Lubbock, and Albert Hermann Post. This departure is most significant in Nietzsche’s rejection of the progressive or developmental account of social and moral history for an account that emphasizes the way in which morality develops out of the psychological effects of recurring human traumas. Keywords: Nietzsche; genealogy; anthropology; prehistory; trauma Though Nietzsche’s genealogical approach to the nature and value of morality has often been heralded as a ground-breaking development in philosophy, it is worth remem- bering that the 19th century was one in which the study of history, broadly construed, 1 flourished in a number of fields of inquiry. It was in this century that paleontology, geology, comparative philology, evolutionary biology, and prehistoric archaeology all developed rapidly and established themselves as academic disciplines. Indeed, historical Citation: Morrisson, Iain P. 2021. development was a key idea in the Hegelian/Marxist philosophical schools as well as in Nietzsche, the Anthropologists, and the Genealogy of Trauma.

  • In His Highly Debated Article Return of the Native, Adam Kuper Argued That
    Draft – Work in progress CSEAS University Of Michigan Conference 22 October 2010 The Original People and the Native State: Historicizing Contemporary Indigenous Rights Claims in Malaysia Rusaslina Idrus, Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore [email protected] The term indigenous people(s) is a subject of much debate within both academic and activist circles.1There are scholars who question the usefulness of such a category (Kuper 2003) and caution the potential risks of subscribing to an essentialized identity (e.g. Conklin and Graham 1995, Conklin 1997, Li 2000). There are also studies that highlight the empowering aspects of this new rights discourse and how it has provided space for local rights struggles (Keck and Sikkink 1998, Wilson 1999). Many also discuss the double-bind that communities fall into when claiming rights based on indigeneity, and others highlight the political risk in privileging claims to being first to the land (Jackson 1999, Bowen 2000, Li 2000. Within the Southeast Asian context, the suitability of the term indigenous peoples to this region has also been raised by legal scholars and social scientists (Kingsbury 1998, Li 2000, Bowen 2000). At the international level, the concept of ―indigenous peoples rights‖ is largely shaped by the experiences of countries in the Americas in the context of European invasion and colonization. In these countries there is a defined (and for some continued) native-settler framework with the state tracing its roots to the colonizer. In Southeast Asia, while the term indigenous within the international context has been mobilized more recently (much like Africa2), the politics of indigenous rights have been around for much longer and the term indigenous has varied meanings.

  • An Analytic Survey of the Roles of Animals in Siswati Proverbs
    J Sociology Soc Anth, 8(1): 38-45 (2017) DOI: 10.1080/09766634.2017.1311717 An Analytic Survey of the Roles of Animals in Siswati Proverbs Jozi J. Thwala MER Mathivha Centre for African Languages, Art and Culture, University of Venda, P/Bag x5050 Thohoyandou 0950, South Africa E-mail: [email protected] KEYWORDS Degeneration. Enmity. Faithful. Fortune. Gratitude. Hardship. Hospitality ABSTRACT This is an analytic survey of Siswati proverbs that employ animals to bring about their meanings. The characteristics and functions of the animals play a role in the formation of the proverbs. This is a qualitative study on thematic explications and stylistic observations. The analysis looks at the thematic classification, form and functionalistic perspective of proverbs. The theme considers humanness, good disposition, conceit, uncertainty, hardship, enmity, good fortune, misfortune, threats and obstinacy. The proverbs are singled out from other oral literature aspects such as riddles, idioms, folktales and praises. This is because of proverbs’ unique characteristics of being rich in vocabulary, fixed, figurative, pithy and packed with wisdom of the ages. Proverbs are basic oral expressions of culture, social life, skills of verbal coercion effective means of communication and art of rational discourse. They enrich Siswati language because they are poetic in nature, loaded with symbols and metaphors. Their language is characterized by a wide use of figures of speech. INTRODUCTION cepted by all the members of a particular lan- guage community. Proverbs are statements intended to express Webster’s New World Dictionary (1980: 144) a generally accepted truth. Very often when defined proverb as: studying proverbs, the researchers do not pay A short saying in common used that strik- so much attention to the words in which the ingly express some supposed truth or familiar thought is couched.
