Anthropology, History and Ideology

MG: It’s more than that. On the one hand, it’s a fact that, for Marx, one should go beyond visible patterns, observable relations, and that scientific analysis proceeds in terms of structural levels. This reference shows that Marx is our contemporary; that his work, in the 19th century, represented a break with respect to other pre-Marxist forms of scientific thought. But, on the other hand, what I believe is fundamentally at stake is that Marx, somewhat as the linguists try to define the object of language through the diversity of languages, wanted to set out a theory of the functions of what makes a society exist as such. He put forward

Towards a Rejection of the Meaning-Function Alternative

In crude terms we could say that in confronting the varied institutional realities which they study, some anthropologists ask what they mean and others what function they serve. Again, to put it very crudely, we can differentiate between a structural approach which privileges the analysis of symbols, and a functional approach which privileges the analysis of ideology; the two approaches are both clearly relevant if one admits that there are rules of functionality and general forms of expression of the human mind, and also that in all societies, institutions, social hierarchies, and belief systems, have a role which both makes them intelligible and allows them to operate. We can ask, then, if it is possible simultaneously to understand the universal aspects of the human mind and the functional specificities of society; furthermore whether the former is not one of the conditions of existence of the latter.

Key informants on the history of anthropology: an itinerary

The history of anthropology is a growing field of study within the discipline itself. Our series ‘Key Informants on the History of Anthropology’ contributes to the discussion of how anthropology, as it is understood and practised today, evolved and took shape. In the following invited contribution Marc Augé, Professor of Anthropology at École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, reflects back on his work in Africa, in light of his more recent explorations of contemporary global issues. He observes how history intervenes also with previous research ‘as if the facts which I observed in former times were only taking on their full meaning today’. This relationship between past and present research reinforces his faith in social anthropology as a discipline that is particularly well suited to address contemporary issues of globalisation.

Emma, c’est nous

Alienes, dirions-nous dans un langage qui n’etait pas le sien, a leurs lectures, a leurs reveries et a des ambitions qui ne leur appartiennent pas en propre, les personnages de Flaubert sont avant tout l’expression d’une epoque. Lui, pourtant, travaille et ecrit pour les promouvoir a l’existence, comme si rien n’etait plus important que de mettre en forme le desenchantement qui non seulement leur interdit toute vision de l’avenir, mais entraine chez les plus lucides d’entre eux une interpreta...

Totalité, sens et comparaison: A propos de ‘culture, thought and social action’ par Stanley J. Tambiah: A review article

Ritual is the main topic of ‘Culture, Thought and Social Action’. Tambiah, in some of the most important essays of this collection, denies any efficiency to the dualistic approaches which contrast thought and action, word and deed, facts and representation. Marc Auge agrees with such a conception but wonders whether the definition of the sense as cultural and total which Tambiah tries to develop is congruent with the necessity of comparison he claims for in the same time.
