Abstract:

The article is focused on the intellectual significance of the theory of myth developed by prominent Polish anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski within his anthropological approach known as functionalism. The author argues that Malinowski already in the first half of the 20th century anticipated the main trend within the later studies on myth. Like many influential myth-theorists of the next generations, Malinowski recognized the elements of rationality within mythical thinking. Both his emphasis on the integrity of culture as well as his opposition to diffusionism and evolutionism resonate with the perspective of structuralists in the second half of the 20th century. According to Malinowski, myth and science as the parts of culture serve mainly for the basic biological needs of the human body. The more elaborated vision of the functionality of myth has been proposed later in the philosophy of mythology of German poststructuralist Hans Blumenberg. Despite that, Malinowski’s attention to the function of myth reflected and formed the general tendency of contemporary science of myth. This tendency presupposes the “de-archaization” of myth in contrast to the progressivist vision of myth as entirely “irrational” or “paralogical” thinking. The author also analyses how the intellectual heritage of Malinowski is used in the recent studies made by contemporary Polish and Ukrainian scholars.

Resumen. Sin que pueda discutirse el carácter canónico, en la historia de la antropología, de la obra del polaco Bronislaw Malinowski (1884-1942), es necesario admitir que la imagen de este autor atravesó, a lo largo del siglo xx, por crisis y apogeos que le significaron una evidente heterogeneidad. Así, la perdurabilidad de la fama de Malinowski se apoyó sucesivamente en las figuras del teórico, el metodólogo, el escritor y el personaje literario.Abstract. Without refuting the canonic carácter of the work of the Polish Bronislaw Malinowski (1884-1942) in the history of anthropology, it is necesary to recognize that the image of the author passed throughout the 20th century between crisis and fame which means a very evident heterogeneity, suchthat the fame of Malinowski is based successively on the figures of theoretician, methodologist, the writerand the literary personaje.

Abstract:

In the burial rites of the Trobrianders Bronislaw Malinowski describes, a body is removed from its grave so that certain bones can be used as relics. He was joined in the tropics by Polish playwright Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, whose bones, it was later discovered—after his remains were relocated twice—were nowhere to be found. The two friends were reunited in a 2011 play that shares a title with one of Malinowski’s books: The Sexual Life of Savages. The anthropologist’s demonstration of how remains achieve autonomy aptly reflects the role bones and things play in “necroperformance.”

Abstract:

This article represents my 2020 Bronislaw Malinowski Award Address that I delivered virtually at the 2021 Society for Applied Anthropology Annual Meetings, March 23–27, 2021. The address focuses on the value of organizations as both a field of study and a place of employment for anthropologists. On the one hand, organizations have been largely excluded from anthropological field research in favor of research in communities. On the other, academic anthropology departments (applied anthropology programs excepted) have been largely reluctant to engage with anthropological practice and scholarship in the classroom or view organizations as a vital source of careers for their graduating students. I use my own career trajectory as a model to raise awareness of what anthropology might learn from organizations as well as what anthropologists might offer them. I will close with an initiative for a cross-section of the discipline to work together on the Career Readiness Commission to address the lack of student preparation and professionalization for careers in and for organizations.

Abstract:

This article reproduces an archived and previously unpublished paper by Bronislaw Malinowski entitled “The anthropological approach to language” which he delivered to a meeting of the elite Monday Night Group in the Institute of Human Relations at Yale University in November 1941. The social “context of situation” of Malinowski’s seminar presentation is reconstructed together with a brief consideration of his contribution to linguistic theory. A commentary on his paper refers to Malinowski’s relationship with several of his peers, including discussion of the critical reception given to the second volume of his last monograph on the Trobriand Islands, Coral Gardens and their Magic. Finally, the “biographical context of situation” describes Malinowski’s lethally busy schedule six months before his death, referring to his other public presentations during the months of October and November 1941.

Esse texto resulta de uma revisão bibliográfica, ao revisitarmos alguns dos vários autores que vêm se debruçando analiticamente sobre o método etnográfico e a pesquisa de campo. Dessa forma, defendemos as contribuições metodológicas sistematizadas por Malinowski, sem perder de vista as críticas contemporâneas acerca dos limites dessa obra.

Abstract:

In this article, I focus on different strategies of anthropological engagement with government and potential funders. I do so by considering the diverse nature of Alfred Radcliffe-Brown and Bronislaw Malinowski’s encounters with South African authorities, between 1919 and 1934. I suggest that Radcliffe-Brown saw South Africa as an integrated society in which segregation was impossible, and advocated the sympathetic scientific understanding of cultural difference within this context. By contrast, Malinowski was committed to a romantic vision of holistic cultures, collaborated directly with colonial authorities, and argued for a policy of effective cultural and territorial segregation. The strategies had important longterm consequences and costs, calculable only from the privileged vantage point of history.

O objetivo central deste estudo é fazer ressaltar as características dos conceitos de animismo, magia e feitiçaria a partir das perspectivas de Sigmund Freud e Bronislaw Malinowski. Em um primeiro momento, analisaremos o animismo. Em seguida, uma vez que as observações etnográficas de Malinowski divergem daquelas de Freud, examinaremos a magia e a feitiçaria com a finalidade de verificar não somente as divergências, mas também as convergências e as aproximações possíveis que existem entres estes dois pensadores e os próprios conceitos entre si. Por fim, mostraremos o que está no centro dessas análises e quais são as razões que fundamentam esses métodos e as resistências que eles podem suscitar.

Based on bibliographic and documental research made on that center collection and on the study of the works by Émile Durkheim, Bronislaw Malinowski and Robert Merton, it was searched similarities and differences between the investigation indications that existed on Ciespal material on the 1960's and the functionalist doctrine. The study pointed that development communication has brought political proposals while the mass communication research (MCR) guided the scientific work, and that those two do not bring, necessarily, in their structures the functional way of thinking.

In 1945 Bronislaw Malinowski stated that "The anthropologist should have as one of his duties…to study the growing forces of (native) nationalism; to insist as all those with knowledge and foresight do, that an improvement in social and, above all, economic conditions, constitutes the only way out of the difficulty, and that no price is too high to pay to prevent inevitable disaster."

Abstract:

Na reflexão proposta por esta revisão bibliográfica, partimos da constatação de que a Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional, da qual Michael Halliday é um dos maiores representantes, foi influenciada por pressupostos etnográficos do antropólogo polonês, Bronislaw Malinowski. Halliday toma a linguagem sob uma perspectiva sociossemiótica, o que pressupõe pensá-la como um conjunto de sistemas e de significados abertos à vida social e entrecortados pelo que Malinowski denominou como contexto de situação e contexto de cultura, caracterizados, de forma geral, pelas circunstâncias extralinguísticas da enunciação. Essa influência foi significativa para o desenvolvimento e a manutenção do pensamento funcionalista da linguagem, uma concepção tão cara, ainda hoje, aos estudos sobre linguagem como um fenômeno social.

Abstract:

In 1945, Bronislaw Malinowski urged anthropology to abandon what he called its “one-column entries” on African societies and to study instead the “no-man's land of change,” to attend to the “aggressive and conquering” European communities as well as native ones, and to be aware that “European interests and intentions” were rarely unified but more often “at war” (1945:14–15). Four decades later, few of us have heeded his prompting or really examined his claim.

This article describes how school leadership, as a response to omnipresent hopes and expectations, seems to be shrouded by mystery and new forms of secular religion. This results in new divisions of labour – between a profane, everyday praxis, a kind of magic management, and divine leadership. The article is theoretically informed by the social anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski, and it is based on empirical data from a project on qualification of school leadership in the Danish Folkeskole (primary and lower secondary school).

Posteriormente introduciré los elementos antropológicos que alimentan la propuesta ivanoviciana a través de autores como: Bronislaw Malinowski, Claude Levi–Strauss y Mircea Eliade. En un tercer momento contrastaré la definición teórica de Ivanovici, sustentado en los aportes antropológicos acerca del mito, con la lectura del cuento escogido, corroborando en él los elementos que propone el autor como esenciales para la categorización de lo fantástico.

Abstract:

The paper expounds a non-cooperative game that can be interpreted as a model of the system of kula that was described by Bronislaw Malinowski in his Argonauts of the Western Pacific. The game of kula is an infinite-horizon game with an arbitrary, but fixed, number n of players. It generates pure norms of direct reciprocity, pure norms of indirect reciprocity, and mixed norms whereby a player who deviates is punished both by the individual who has been harmed and by a third party.

Abstract:

Drawing on the explanation already offered for the confusion of positivism with realism in the epistemological imagination of the author and founder of postmodern anthropology, the paper analyzes the moral implications of dealing with problems characteristic of the philosophy of science by literary-theoretical means. The transdisciplinary migration of "realism" from literary theory to social science methodology has produced a whole new history of anthropology. The history of pre-postmodern anthropology constructed in this manner can be said to fit the register of some sort of comparative-cultural theory of retroactive moral judgement, complementing postmodern anthropology as a general theory of writing by political subjects, so that the theoretical-methodological dilemmas of postmodern anthropology do not constitute proof of the legitimacy of a holistic interpretation of the discipline’s founders’ intentions, but rather lead to neo-pyrrhonic, formalistic endeavours to uphold, by respecting academic trappings, the academic authority of the discipline whose subject, method and purpose, as a rule, even colleagues from adjacent departments for various reasons fail to understand. In the paper, evidence for this is derived from Clifford's writing of Malinowski, and the moral implications of the unfortunate analogy between the writing of political subjects and the writing of disciplinary founders are followed through. The paper then goes on to explain that the critique of the possibilities of misuse, particularly through political instrumentalization, of anthropological fictions as evidence of Others did not have to come at the cost of sacrificing the semblance of continuity in the establishment of anthropology as a proper academic discipline.

Résumé Le but de cet article est d’évaluer l’hypothèse de John Rupert Firth (1890–1960) énonçant que l’article de l’anthropologue Bronislaw Malinowski (1884–1942), “The Problem of Meaning in Primitive Languages” (1923), constituerait une des sources d’inspiration ayant conduit Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) à élaborer une nouvelle conception de la signification en termes d’‘usage’. S’appuyant sur certains passages des Philosophical Investigations (1953), Firth établit ainsi une filiation entre les deux grandes idées phares de Malinowski, à savoir l’importance de la notion de ‘contexte de situation’ et l’idée que le langage serait un ‘mode d’action’ et les principales thèses (la signification comme usage, l’acquisition du langage, le langage comme un ensemble de jeux) que développera Wittgenstein. L’examen du bien fondé de cette hypothèse conduira à préciser la synergie des idées qui eut lieu en matière de pragmatique dans l’Angleterre de la première moitié du XXe siècle.

Abstract:

Sometime during the increasingly tense European summer of 1938, the Anglo-Polish anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski sat down to write an introduction to a new book by one of his students, Jomo Kenyatta—a book based on the graduate thesis the latter had written under his supervision at the London School of Economics. A scientific rationalist and atheist, as well as an antiracist, antifascist, and anticommunist, Malinowski was most of all in that fraught time a deeply frightened liberal watching Europe slide into war. During the 1930s he had shifted his focus from the South Pacific to Africa. Over the course of that decade he had become increasingly critical of European colonialism, particularly of what he regarded as its deeply destructive impact on indigenous societies. In his brief introductory essay, Malinowski reflected on Kenyatta's work and, no doubt, on their many long conversations during the three years Kenyatta had studied with him. He commented on the dilemma of the educated African who had “suffered the injury of higher education” and noted that “an African who looks at things from the tribal point of view and at the same time from that of Western civilization experiences the tragedy of the modern world in an especially acute manner” (1938:ix).

O presente trabalho analisa as idéias de Malinowski e Paulo Freire, propondo algumas proximidades entre a antropologia e a pedagogia. Dentre as possibilidades resultantes de tal encontro, uma certamente merece destaque: a recomendação de que antropólogos e professores respeitem sempre o "saber-fazer" comunitário e previamente adquirido por seus respectivos outros, alunos ou "nativos", enquanto um verdadeiro ponto de partida para a construção da ciência. Desta maneira, pode-se pensar que em ambas as disciplinas o conhecimento caminha junto a um respeito pela alteridade, lição esta que elas devem partilhar não somente com outras áreas do saber, mas especialmente com a comunidade mais ampla.

Abstract:

The activity of fieldwork, that is research conducted with individuals and groups in a real-life and by implication, real-time setting or living environment rather than research under controlled conditions and specific time-frames, continues to draw strong attention and criticisms. Given the plethora of these schools of thought and their critiques over the past decades including relativism in its intense expressions, emphases on quantification as a sine-qua-non, hermeneutics, praxis, semiotics, deconstructionism and essentially “post-modernist” approaches to enduring questions of objectivity, recording behaviour, methodological rigor, meaning and their epistemological references, it is significant that (1) fieldwork still continues and does so in a variety of disciplines, and (2) most criticisms have been directed essentially at issues of validity, viability and reliability in relation to “data”, rather than some grand meta-disciplinary demise.There are those who would dearly like to throw baby, bathwater and the entire endeavour out, and such critiques are important: in their confabulations, they evoke enduring and profound issues with trenchancy. Nor have political assaults been slow to enter the battle: fieldwork, especially as perceived via an increasingly hapless anthropology, is seen as an enduring colonial tool, an exploiter of the ethnic domain, a servant of capitalism and product of the western will to power.

Abstract:

Resumo O centenário da publicação de Argonautas do Pacífico Ocidental enseja não apenas a necessária referência, mas um cuidadoso resgate da contribuição para a prática etnográfica e reflexão conceitual que a saga de Bronislaw Malinowski legou para a antropologia. Claro, é necessária uma também cuidadosa releitura de seus achados nas Ilhas Trobriand tendo em vista a realidade atual, principalmente quando os temas de pesquisa têm como recorte a dinâmica das grandes cidades contemporâneas. Essa é a linha que percorre o presente artigo, com base em pesquisas e experimentos no âmbito da antropologia urbana, levados a cabo por integrantes do Laboratório do Núcleo de Antropologia Urbana da USP (LabNAU).

Abstract:

AbstractFunctionalist anthropology has a contested legacy. Some scholars have praised functionalism as a contributor to the relativizing of civilizations and cultures while others have criticized it as a colonial science smoothing the interwar workings of indirect rule. This article argues that the colonial politics of functionalist anthropology can only be understood against the background of resurgent settler colonialism in British East Africa. Supporters of indirect rule increasingly relied on a language of scientific administration and welfarist policies associated with the League of Nations to bolster their position against the settlers in the 1920s and 1930s. Functionalism offered them some means of support on this count. The functionalists, meanwhile, co-opted the language of indirect rule to pursue their own intra-disciplinary ends. This combination of interests was pragmatic and flexible rather than ossified and ideological, marked more by what both opposed (settler colonialism) than a shared ideal towards which they aspired (indirect rule). Anthropologists and colonial administrators possessed very different ideas of indirect rule, with strikingly different implications for the future of Britain's African Empire.

Abstract:

Este ensaio apresenta reflexões e sugestões de procedimentos práticos para a pesquisa de campo baseada na “observação participante”. O objetivo é discutir a utilização da “observação participante” em pesquisas de campo em educação. Para isso, refletimos sobre o conceito de “observação participante” buscando um diálogo com trabalhos de Bronislaw Malinowski e Wiliam Foote Whyte. Além disso, propomos algumas ações de caráter prático para esse tipo de pesquisa na área da educação. Concluímos que a “observação participante” constitui um instrumental de grande ajuda para a compreensão de determinadas comunidades, inclusive as escolares. Entretanto, faz-se necessário que o pesquisador articule teoria e prática, buscando construir procedimentos teóricos e metodológicos adequados à própria realidade social que busca investigar.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to analyze the interdisciplinary cooperation and interaction between American legal realists and anthropologists during the interwar period. Using scholarly publications and manuscripts as its sources, it argues that despite the lack of recognition in earlier studies, there were transfers of important methodological and substantive influences that were crucial to the creation of legal anthropology as it is known today, as well as the whole field of law and society studies. Writers of the era like Karl N. Llewellyn, E. Adamson Hoebel, Felix S. Cohen, Franz Boas, and Bronislaw Malinowski utilized interdisciplinary influences to criticize scholarly formalism as well as social and political conservatism, seeking to replace conceptual structures with scientific facts gained from studies.

Abstract:

Summary British linguistic thought in the first half of the 20th century reacted against the Saussurean oppositions signifiant/signifié, langue/parole, and signification/valeur. Ogden & Richards (1923) reject them on epistemological, orthological, and terminological grounds. For Bronislaw Malinowski meaning in a pre-literate language cannot be described by the dyadic sign. Alan H. Gardiner too rejects this concept of the sign, but he modifies langue/parole and synchronie/diachronie to make them complementary. J. R. Firth rejects most of the Saussurean canon, but the starting point of his own line of analysis proves to be indistinguishable from the same brand of functionalism. The connection between the British linguistic tradition and Saussure therefore displays a full range of positions from incompatibility to unwilling and unwitting compatibility.

Na análise das obras, serão utilizados os referenciais teóricos que dizem respeito às estruturas do imaginário, às conceituações de magia brasileira nas ambiências dialógicas entre o dito e o feito, mas também na tradição histórica da temática de ritual e feitiço a partir dos clássicos, Claude Lévi-Strauss e Marcel Mauss, assim como os contemporâneos Bronislaw Malinowski e Yvonne Maggie. Nosso desafio é analisar o imaginário afro-brasileiro em seus usos da reza, magia e feitiços, retratados ficcionalmente por Guimarães Rosa nos contos São Marcos e Corpo Fechado, ambos formam um breve retrato de nossa afro-brasilidade, e uma oportuna leitura da cultura e religiosidade popular no sertão mineiro e brasileiro.Palavras-chave: Antropologia.

Abstract:

In his famous introduction to his monograph “Argonauts of the Western Pacific” Bronislaw Malinowski (1922: 24f.) points out that a “collection of ethnographic statements, characteristic narratives, typical utterances, items of folk-lore and magical formulae has to be given as a corpus inscriptionum , as documents of native mentality”. This is one of the prerequisites to “grasp the native's point of view, his relation to life, to realize his vision of his world”. Malinowski managed to document a “ Corpus Inscriptionum Agriculturae Quriviniensis ” in his second volume of “Coral Gardens and their Magic” (1935 Vol II: 79-342). But he himself did not manage to come up with a holistic corpus inscriptionum for the Trobriand Islanders. One of the main aims I have been pursuing in my research on the Trobriand Islanders' language, culture, and cognition has been to fill this ethnolinguistic niche. In this essay, I report what I had to do to carry out this complex and ambitious project, what forms and kinds of linguistic and cultural competence I had to acquire, and how I planned my data collection during 16 long- and short-term field trips to the Trobriand Islands between 1982 and 2012. The paper ends with a critical assessment of my Trobriand endeavor.

Abstract:

En el presente artículo se exponen las funciones del Congreso mexicano a la luz de la teoría sociológica del funcionalismo de Bronislaw Malinowski, basada en los conceptos de necesidad y función. Aplicada dicha teoría al análisis del Poder Legislativo se comprenden mejor las necesidades que cada función satisface: la representativa, legislativa, financiera y de control, al menos. Con su ejercicio, fortalece la vida democrática y el estado de derecho; y se destaca el papel del Legislativo como instancia de equilibrio, de fiscalización y control indispensable en un sistema plural y diverso que acrecienta su legitimidad por el origen popular de sus miembros y por el ejercicio democrático de sus atribuciones. Mucho más, a diferencia del Ejecutivo es colegiado y, contrario al Judicial, es plural, lo cual lo convierte en el summum de la representación nacional.

Para muchos es conocido el cuerpo antropológico, mas no sus entrañas; esto es aún más visible en la enseñanza de la disciplina. Los órganos que componen una investigación en antropología regularmente quedan ocultos pues podrían no ir acordes con el deber ser que busca funcionar como guía para los estudiantes. El horizonte que se le pretende inculcar a los futuros antropólogos y antropólogas, en ese sentido, también permea los temas a los que son conducidos; hay, entonces, una sobrerrepresentación de los tópicos que se refieren a comunidades marginales en comparación con los que atañen a elites. Mediante un cotejo entre Los argonautas del Pacífico occidental y Diario de campo en Melanesia, de Bronislaw Malinowski, se cuestionará la generación del rapport en la práctica antropológica a partir de mi propia experiencia de investigación doctoral, en lo que respecta a elites y corrupción en Guatemala

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper explores how the concept of the 'contact zone′ (conceived by Mary Louise Pratt) can be extended by means of an issue which she does not mention: the physical shape and specific corporeal reactions of those acting in cultural encounters. By means of two case studies it will be questioned if and how ethnographers regard their body as an important constituent of 'contact zones′ generated by anthropological fieldwork ‒ and how concepts of performativity may serve to shed light on these particular interactions between the ethnographer′s body and its social environment. Therefore I will pay attention to the records in the diaries and letters of Franz Boas (18581942) und Bronislaw Malinowski (18841942), since both scholars are wedded with the methodological scheme of 'participant observation′, which specifically claims the physical presence of the ethnographer by means of long standing fieldwork. With a 'performative′ view to their 'fieldwork performances′ it becomes clear that they, certainly without using the term, even regard and utilize their skin as a 'contact zone′: through the corporeal surface and its physical resistance they detect the haptic, olfactory and gustatory qualities of social life. Moreover, a performative′ view to the concept of the 'contact zone′, particularly against the background of this ethnological context, exposes the problem of the seminal methodological scheme of 'participant observation′.

Abstract:

For me, since the 1980s, the distinctive event in the recent history of social and cultural anthropology in the United States has been a profound cutting of the discipline (or rather of this influential component of the four-field disciplinary organisation of general anthropology) from moorings that defined it through much of the twentieth century. Certainly the discipline is still wedded functionally to certain aspects of the institutional model which has shaped the identity of social and cultural anthropologists, as pioneered through the works of such figures as Bronislaw Malinowski in England and Franz Boas in the United States. Most anthropologists still begin their careers with a geographical area specialisation outside the U.S. However, few receive the intensive areas studies education that was available and encouraged in the U.S. during the 1950s through to the 1970s when, in the atmosphere of the Cold War and development studies, there was a huge investment in such interdisciplinary programmes that has since waned.
