Structure and Sentiment (Classic Reprint): A Test Case in Social Anthropology: A Test Case in Social Anthropology (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Challenging common explanations of social life, this book tests a major anthropological theory against real-world cases.
This book offers a careful, data-driven critique of how psychology has been used to explain social phenomena. It presents a close look at the debate around cross-cousin marriage and offers a test case that challenges a well-known theoretical approach. The discussion centers on how kinship, authority, and marriage rules shape social structure, using historic and cross-cultural evidence to question established claims.
- How to assess sociological and anthropological theories with concrete examples
- Detailed examination of cross-cousin marriage and related kinship patterns
- Analysis of authority, residence, and family influence in diverse societies
- Discussion of methodological issues, including the role of statistics in comparisons
Ideal for readers of structural anthropology and those exploring how theory meets field data in social life.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical and anthropological debate on social institutions, specifically the concept of 'prescriptive marriage rules' as the organizing principle of some societies' structures. The author posits that this theory, first put forward in the 1949 classic Les Structures à là mentaires de la Parentà by Claude Levi-Strauss, is fundamentally flawed. He argues that Levi-Strauss' theory misinterprets the empirical data, over-emphasizes statistical correlations, and mistakenly employs psychological analysis to address a sociological problem. By contrast, the author presents a rigorous and evidence-based analysis of prescriptive marriage rules, demonstrating their structural and functional significance in organizing social life. This book provides a valuable critique of a widely accepted theory and offers fresh insights into the role of these rules in shaping human societies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
