O Instituto de Antropologia Social (EUA, Brasil e México): um artefato da resposta antropológica ao "esforço de guerra"

O presente trabalho trata do estabelecimento de escritórios do Instituto de Antropologia Social da Smithsonian Institution (SI) no México e no Brasil. A presença da SI dependia de acordos diplomáticos que requeriam aceitação pelos países hospedeiros. O trabalho focaliza documentos, tais como entrevistas e registros institucionais, analisados segundo a relação entre discursos e práticas envolvidos na resposta antropológica ao esforço de guerra. Tal análise pressupõe um entendimento de conceitos empregados na época como "antropologia aplicada", "estudos de área", "estudos de comunidade" e definições usadas especificamente por antropólogos da SI, como "bem limitado" e "choque cultural". O método comparativo mostra-se relevante para entender o que se passava nos dois países. No México, negociações políticas e outros fatores retardaram a criação do Instituto. No Brasil, o processo envolveu disputas interinstitucionais. O exame dessas interações leva à análise da maneira hierárquica como o Instituto era apresentado.

Collaborative Researchers or Cold Warriors? The Origins, Activities, and Legacy of the Smithsonian’s Institute of Social Anthropology

Tendências e dilemas da antropologia norte-americana: sobre a história do Instituto de Antropologia Social da Smithsonian Institution e sua presença no Brasil

This paper is about the history of Smithsonian Institution's Institute of Social Anthropology, which was an agency in charge of the cooperation involving North-American researchers and Latin-American institutions in the social sciences, between 1943 and 1952. Taking into account the geopolitical context - marked by the war efforts, Good Neighborhood Policy and Technical Assistance and Development Programs - the Institute's trajectory expresses the interfaces between science and politics and also discloses the tensions between basic and applied research. Besides, the activities, positions and negotiations taken by Institute's staff illustrate some of American Anthropology's trends and dilemmas in the post-Second World War. The research program pursued in that moment tells us about the anthropological agenda in the continent. Smithsonian's anthropologists and sociologists were involved in teaching and researching in Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Brazil, yet this present work focuses on the bilateral agreement with Escola de Sociologia e Politica de Sao Paulo.

Anthropological Intelligence: The Deployment and Neglect of American Anthropology in the Second World War (review)

David H. Price, Anthropological Intelligence: Deployment and Neglect of American Anthropology the Second World War. Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2008. 352 pp. Approximately half of all anthropologists the United States contributed their expertise to the World War II effort. This timely book explores the wide range of roles they played through dozens of accounts profiling their work. book's methodology is innovative and eclectic. It relies upon an array of sources including declassified documents requested through the Freedom of Information Act, anthropologists' letters and obituaries, government reports, and interviews, among others. Price begins by providing a historical framework, specifically an analysis of anthropologists' roles the to end all wars, WWI. During this time, Franz Boas developed a radical ethical critique response to American archaeologists who worked as spies Central America (p.12). According to Price, Boas's belief the existence of pure science independent of the corrupting influence of a militarized and politicized nation-state fueled this attack more than his disapproval of American participation the (p. 12). It also set the stage for ethical struggles that would erupt throughout the course of the century. Subsequent chapters thoroughly cover a wide range of topics. For example, Price examines the role of professional associations (notably the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology), and finds that few anthropologists had second thoughts about the ethics of applying anthropology to warfare (p. 49), as the needs of the war effort were assigned high priority by most members of the organizations. Laura Thompson was among the few concerned that some anthropologists had become engineers and technicians for hire to the highest bidder (pp. 34, 35). book includes a fascinating chapter that analyzes and Axis Anthropologies, and reveals that Japanese and German anthropologists' silence was remarkably similar to that which emerged the writings of the postwar Allied anthropologist victors (p.71). Another chapter documents the ways which WWII transformed college campuses, most notably through the creation of foreign language and area studies programs, and, after the war, the creation of the GI Bill. Yet another explores the work of institutions that together functioned as a kind of brain trust. These included the Human Relations Area Files, the Smithsonian Institution and its Ethnogeographic Board (created to generate information about potential theaters of war), and the Institute of Social Anthropology, among others. Academics were not always able to see the risks that such projects might entail: The war's needs shone so brightly that they seemed to blind anthropologists to the possiblity that America's interests and those of the cultures they were studying might diverge (p. 89). Among the most shocking sections is a description of social engineers such as Henry Field (p. 127). Field and several other anthropologists were deeply involved the M Project initiated by President Roosevelt 1942. goal was to search the globe for regions where millions of wartime refugees could be resettled. (Ales Hrdlicka, a physical anthropologist, who was an informal advisor to Roosevelt, also gave suggestions on relocating refugees.) Declassified documents reveal that library bound bureaucrats [were] designing contingency plans to move tens of millions of people thousands of miles away from their native lands. Field and his staff appear[ed] comfortable planning to move inventoried people about the globe like fungible commodities (p. 126). Even more disconcerting is that fact that in almost every case, the peoples identified for relocation were victims of the aggression of others (e.g., the Roma, Jews, etc.), as if the reward of being victimized was being moved so that the aggressor could live peace (p. …

Dress and Ethnicity: Change across Space and Time

Dress and Ethnicity is the second in the Ethnic Identities Series recently initiated by Berg publishers. book comprises 15 articles and focusses on ethnic expressions in several regions of the world including Scotland and Brittany, Cypress, Greece, Japan (2 articles), Nigeria (2 articles), Herero, Swaziland, Israel/Palestine, the U.S.A. and Ecuador. articles include the proceedings of a seminar on The Social Construction of Ethnic Identity at the Institute of Social Anthropology, University of Oxford in 1989, as well as other invited contributions. Contributors hail from the disciplines of social anthropology, art history, folklore and human ecology/home economics. All have based their findings on field research. As the title indicates, the exploration of ethnicity has been developed in this volume through the analysis of dress.The editor, Joanne B. Eicher, has devoted her career to the study of dress, particularly in Nigeria, and has published extensively on the topic, including Dress and Gender, co-edited with Ruth Barnes, and Dress and Identity, co-edited with Mary Ellen Roach-Higgins and Kim K.P. Johnson as well as numerous articles. Eicher's hand is particularly evident in this volume. Many of the North American contributors have studied or collaborated with her. Her influence on a new generation of scholars of dress has been significant and this volume is, in part, both a celebration and a record of that achievement. Eicher's introductory essay pleads for the end of the analytical neglect which dress has suffered in the study of ethnicity and summarizes the kinds of contributions -- as represented by this volume -- which dress can make to the study of ethnicity.Both the study of ethnicity and the study of dress have moved toward analysis of process with a focus on agency and the factors which figure in the negotiation of identity. Dress is a subtle indicator of the nuances and dynamic of ethnicity for many reasons, but primarily because dress is an ever-present proclamation of social position for everyone at all times: everyone always wears clothes. Furthermore, clothing changes faster than political platforms and ideology, and formulates social position faster and sometimes with more facility than this may be verbally expressed. Clothing is a very primary social analytical resource -- when its messages can be decoded. Without exception, the authors in this volume are concerned with the process of identity construction and the peculiar and powerful abilities of clothing to reveal that process.All of the authors have had to wrestle to some extent with the ambiguities of what is conceptualized as just as have the people about whom they are writing. Tradition, by definition, is unchanging, immutable and faithful to some authentic past time -- even though the needs of the times are always changing, and similarly the content of tradition is also changing. substantial literature which deals with the theoretical dimensions of this ambiguity (e.g., Dominguez 1986; Hobsbawm and Ranger 1983) is referenced by several of the authors, and their conclusions contribute to a literature, also substantial and still expanding, which addresses a variety of dimensions of this issue through clothing (e.g., Niessen, 1993; Schevill et al. 1991).In the opening essay, Malcolm Chapman writes of the image of traditional apparel as a frozen frame in the passage of time, and Linda Welters writes of the micro and the macro dimensions of clothing selection and interpretation. analogies of camera image and lens are useful for reviewing the contents of this book as its analyses range from the close focus on individual agency to the broader scope of social and historical survey, and always the interpretation is of one or a set of clothing images for one or a set of ethnic identities.Deborah Durham for instance, in The Lady in the Logo, takes as her image a particular dress which was selected by the Herero Youth Association as extremely appropriate to represent them. …

On the Effective Use of Anthropology in Public Health Programs

In July of 1951 George Foster published a mimeographed report based on the work carried on by the four anthropologists of the Institute of Social Anthropology of the Smithsonian Institution. (The report, entitled "A Cross-Cultural Anthropological Analysis of a Technical Aid Program," was translated into Spanish and issued by the National Indian Institute of Mexico in 1952, and an article-length summary of it appeared in the same year in the Boletin de la Oficina Sanitaria Panamericana, a journal which is distributed through all the countries of the Western hemisphere.) The report consisted of an analysis of the work of the Servicios of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs in certain phases of their work in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. The study, as its title indicates, was an attempt to analyze in anthropological terms the efforts of public health personnel to introduce through their regular programs measures of hygiene and sanitation to the populations of selected regions of Latin America.

Symposium: Time Depths of American Linguistic Groupings

SOME time depths of American Indian groupings are set forth here in Table 1. A supplement, Table 2, gives additional details on internal relationships within the Salishan stock. These time depths have been calculated from percentages of agreement in noncultural vocabulary, according to the method known as glottochronology or lexical statistics which is described in articles cited in the bibliography. The material was prepared under the Language Divergence Project sponsored by the Social Science Research Council of Columbia University. The aim has been in general to give time depths for all language groupings where a percentage of agreement was available to the compiler either in published sources or in research completed though not yet published. The classification of families and stocks follows established lines except for the recognition of some recently demonstrated groupings, to wit, the Huavemayan complex, bringing together Mayan, Zoquean, Totonacan and Huave; and the connection of Jicaque with Hokan. On the other hand, MixeZoque is not included in Penutian, as Sapir and Freelander have proposed, because it seems to have a closer relationship with the Huavemayan languages. This of course is not to deny that Penutian and Huavemayan are related at a more remote time depth. All the time depths given here have to be regarded as provisional in greater or lesser degree. This follows, first, from the fact that the lexicostatistic method has not yet been developed to its maximum reliability (it cannot be until more research has been done on control cases); second, the test lists are much too limited in some cases; and, finally, the phonological formulas and structural reconstruction necessary for maximally reliable identification of cognates in each pair of languages has not been sufficiently worked out. Despite these limitations, it seems desirable to publish a list of tentative dates so that the provisional determinations may be known pending eventual verification or improvement.
