Female Roles and Male Dominance among Peasants

Analysis of 46 peasant community studies reveals a recurrent androcentric social structure, with economic control and authority in the hands of men. Fathers tend to be authoritarian, mothers indulgent. In the patrilineally oriented families, marriage is usually by arrangement, with weak affective ties between spouses and a strong bond between mother and son which increases her power in later years and results in strained relations with daughters-in-law. In bilateral families, the increased economic power of women tends to make for brother-sister rivalry and, where male authoritarian roles are expected, seems to create a machismo syndrome. The data suggest that there are not only recurrent structural responses to the common organizational problems of peasant family life, but also recurrent structuring of social sentiments.

Affect hunger and the evolution of human behavior

It is a great privilege to be standing before this august audience of worldwide leaders in all fields of anthropology in this most beautiful of cities with its great historic role in the re-birth of European civilization. Anthropology was broadly speaking present then in the person of Nicola Machiavelli, who made cross-cultural studies of the character and function of leadership. If his name has acquired a cynical coloring, it is because, as often among anthropologists, he took on the attributes of the subjects of his research. I am especially pleased to address this Congress because its theme, the relation between the biological and the social, is of very great significance and because I am devoting my closing years to examining it. I consider it the central issue in all social science and despair at the way it is bickered over and trivialized. No wonder that we draw a scornful public press-at least in America. Just look at the newspaper treatment of the attacks on Mead and Chagnon coming from uninformed partisanship. It is particularly timely now, since new physiological and neurological knowledge is emerging from the laboratories, giving us concrete knowledge about the mechanisms that transform infants from speechless animals into a cultural human beings (Arbib 2001; lacoboni, et al. 1999; Rizzolatti and Arbib 1998). Anthropology is essential to this discourse for it is the only science with the breadth of interest needed in our increasingly compartmentalized world of knowledge (Weisner 1997). I will be calling on all four fields of anthropology to make the case that the social and the biological are neither conflicting nor compromising, but that the two are interacting.

their behavior after they have been at Highfields. As a general conclusion at this intermediate point in the Highfields evaluation it seems evident that Highfields accomplishes as much, if not more, in its four months of residential treatment as the reformatory at Annandale does in its more than twelve months. Highfields may even do better, but such results can only be known after more cases are analyzed in the years ahead.
