• A New Epoch in Rural Quebec

    Type Journal Article
    Author Horace Miner
    Abstract The rural French-Canadian community of St. Denis, studied intensively in 1936-37, was revisited during 1949. Social change was analyzed with a view to establishing the trnds in rural Quebec and in order to test hypotheses based on the previous study. It was found that the one largely self-sufficient community had moved toward greater interdependence with the outside world, most markedly in production and communication technology. Demographic changes were also found. Unanticopated changs were caused by Dominion and provincial programs which brought considerable cash income into the community without requiring any fundamental change in the social structure. This new income provided means of fulfilling needs which previously had to go unfilled.

  • Everyday Sacrifice and Language Socialization in Vietnam: The Power of a Respect Particle

    Type Journal Article
    Author Merav Shohet
    Abstract The Vietnamese ethic of hy sinh, typically translated as “sacrifice,” involves moral conduct and dispositions that emphasize showing respect to sociocultural “superiors” and yielding to sociocultural “inferiors.” Like “filial piety,” which has been shown to permeate many aspects of life in contemporary Asia, hy sinh is a cultural virtue learned first in families’ daily lives. In this article, I examine how participants’ linguistic and corporeal practices in routine interactions with children relate to their engagements with ancestors. Focusing on video-recorded displays of respect, I argue that these cultivate elementary forms of hy sinh even in a toddler, thus initiating her into intergenerationally continuing moral lifeworlds. Further, I suggest that, like ritual and patriotic forms of “sacrifice” more common in anthropological accounts, hy sinh is an ethical practice that helps substantiate local sociomoral order. It underpins pervasive relationships of asymmetrical reciprocity both beyond and within the family, naturalizing inequality as ethical.

  • Purity and danger [electronic resource]: an analysis of concept of pollution and taboo

    Type Book
    Author Mary Douglas
    Abstract In Purity and Danger Mary Douglas identifies the concern for purity as a key theme at the heart of every society. In lively and lucid prose she explains its relevance for every reader by revealing its wide-ranging impact on our attitudes to society, values, cosmology and knowledge. The book has been hugely influential in many areas of debate - from religion to social theory. But perhaps its most important role is to offer each reader a new explanation of why people behave in the way they do. With a specially commissioned introduction by the author which assesses the continuing significance of the work thirty-five years on, this Routledge Classics edition will ensure that Purity and Danger continues to challenge and question well into the new millennium.

  • Street Corner Society

    Type Book
    Abstract <div><i>Street Corner Society</i> is one of a handful of works that can justifiably be called classics of sociological research. William Foote Whyte's account of the Italian American slum he called "Cornerville"—Boston's North End—has been the model for urban ethnography for fifty years. <br><br>By mapping the intricate social worlds of street gangs and "corner boys," Whyte was among the first to demonstrate that a poor community need not be socially disorganized. His writing set a standard for vivid portrayals of real people in real situations. And his frank discussion of his methodology—participant observation—has served as an essential casebook in field research for generations of students and scholars. <br><br>This fiftieth anniversary edition includes a new preface and revisions to the methodological appendix. In a new section on the book's legacy, Whyte responds to recent challenges to the validity, interpretation, and uses of his data. "The Whyte Impact on the Underdog," the moving statement by a gang leader who became the author's first research assistant, is preserved.<br><br>"<i>Street Corner Society</i> broke new ground and set a standard for field research in American cities that remains a source of intellectual challenge."—Robert Washington, <i>Reviews in Anthropology</i> <br><br></div>
