Individual Life Cycles And Family Cycles. A Comparison Of Perspectives In Yugoslavia, Joel Halpern

Joel M. Halpern

This paper seeks to relate changing individual life cycles to changing cycles of family development. My data refer specifically to Yugoslavia (although it is hoped that some of the points made will have more general applicability). Within Yugoslavia primary reference is to a village in central Serbia which I have studied intermittently over the past twenty years, but comparative data will be presented from other regions as well.

Comparative Dynamics Of A Traditional Serbian Village: Oraciac 1863 To 1975, Joel Halpern

Joel M. Halpern

Research proposal: I. Purposes of this Research In summary this research will provide a model for the investigation of kinship, demographic and socio-economic systems in an open systems framework. The impact of changes in these systems on the individual life cycle then follows as the village roles change not only qualitatively - as in the appearance of new occupations, but also quantitatively in the duration of role incumbancy for the individual.

A Method For Investigating Tv Effect On Passivity-Activity Of Crees, Gary Granzberg

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

With the recent rise to prominence of materialistic emphasis in anthropology, there has been a corresponding development of new methodology. An example is presented here of how new methodology can be applied to the study of a Cree Indian community in Canada. This study examined the effect of television on the passivity-activity dimension in development of children.

A Personal Vision Of A More Meaningful Anthropology (A Review Of Personal And Extrapersonal Vision In Anthropology By Robert Jay), David C. Dominik

Nebraska Anthropologist

In an unpublished paper presented to the AAA Annual meeting in 1969, Robin Ridington discusses "The Anthropology of Experience" (also the title). The paper relates the story of Jumping Mouse, a not-so-ordinary field mouse. Jumping Mouse leaves his brothers to satisfy his curiosity about the rushing sound in his head. The story makes special note that Jumping Mouse can see only a short distance ahead of himself as he travels, the philosophical implication being that he has limited vision. Curiosity becomes a quest after Jumping Mouse sees the rushing river; he the strives to reach the sacred mountains way off …

Some Questions About Anthropological Linguistics: The Role Of The Native (A Review Of A Critical Analysis By Michael L. Blake), Kenneth Hale

Nebraska Anthropologist

The author seems to be greatly concerned about current trends within his profession of Anthropological Linguistics. He has made some extremely valid observations and some equally valid suggestions to reconstruct the field of Linguistics in order to deal with pertinent problems of today.

Hale views Anthropology as a product of its origin. He believes that it is constrained by the limitations of a white Anglo-Saxon denomination in the field, in academic endeavors, and more precisely in its most important aspect, it's application. In particular he attacks the idea that non-native speakers, as objective observers, are more successful. The probable cause …
