Among the Peoples of the Agreste of Pernambuco
Authors: Smith Keith
Published: January 2005

Anthropology, despite its historic role in both creating and dismantling the American racial worldview, seems barely visible in contemporary scholarly and public discussions of "race." The authors argue that race should once again be central to anthropological inquiry, that cultural and physical anthropologists must jointly develop and publicly disseminate a unified, uniquely anthropological perspective. They suggest ways to proceed and identify internal barriers that must be overcome before the anthropological voice can be heard.

Cultural Perspectives on Dreams and Consciousness
Authors: Price‐Williams Douglass
Published: January 2005

Anthropological studies of folk cultures have been made not only on the content of their dreams but also on their interpretations. While there is a wide variance in the understanding of dreaming by cultures other than our own, there is a large set which might be called the classic dream interpretation of folk societies, which was first noted by Tylor in the nineteenth century. Its main tenet is that dreams are the experiences or travels of the soul, and that the soul is distinct from the waking ego who recounts the dream. The dream is a narrative about real things, not something of a fantasy nature. This leads to a different epistemological basis of dreaming than the Western framework. This paper details the extent and nature of this interpretation, and explores the psychological and philosophical issues raised by it.
Waking Life, Dream Life, and the Construction of Reality
Authors: Krippner Stanley
Published: January 2005

Enigmatic, anomalous dream reports challenge the Western philosophical worldview, hence they are ignored or derided by most mainstream philosophers and scientists. Nevertheless, there is compelling evidence from research in parapsychology that at least some of these reports have consensual validation and waking life consequences. Shamanic models of reality (which reflect shamanic philosophies) provide anecdotal evidence, congruent with parapsychological data, and need to be reconsidered by the dominant Western academies because these model encompass anomalous dreams, and because they furnish provocative data.
Some Philosophical Implications of Dream Existence
Authors: Globus Gordon G.
Published: January 2005

Freud considered dreams to be compositions of past waking experiences but this theory is untenable: (1) the process of compositing disparate memories into the seamless dream life is miraculous, and (2) authentically novel dream worlds are experienced. Dennett makes dreams into purely cognitive affairs, a matter of scripts, denying their perceptual appearing. I suggest that dreams are de novo constructions of actual perceptual worlds, not put together from memory scraps. Implications for waking perception are considered.
Applications of Altered States of Consciousness in Daily Life
Authors: Heinze Ruth‐Inge
Published: January 2005

First, I discuss the importance of recognizing different states of consciousness. Knowing how these states differ from each other and recognizing their specific qualities determines their use, increases our self‐knowledge, balances our behavior and adjusts our course of action. Second, 1 report on workshops conducted in the United States, Russia, Lithuania, and Estonia. The examples illustrate the nature of material retrieved during different states of consciousness. Third, I evaluate the respective techniques which can be used to access different states of consciousness and show how they can be applied to everyday life.
On The Story‐Telling Imperative That We Have In Mind
Authors: Fischer Roland
Published: January 2005

The psychotherapeutic nature of the relatedness of literature and religion is part and parcel of the story‐telling imperative that we have in mind. There is not a shred of evidence that a historical character Jesus lived, to give an example, and Christianity is based on narrative fiction of high literary and cathartic quality. On the other hand Christianity is concerned with the narration of things that actually take place in human life. The human animal is subject to biologically and socially determined programs that collide head‐on with the morality of secular and religious traditions. Hence guilt of sin takes place in human life, and consciousness of sin is a real event and so are despair and salvation through faith.
Evolved Psychological Mechanisms and Content‐Specificity
Authors: Holcomb Harmon R.
Published: January 2005

In The Adapted Mind (1992), Cosmides and Tooby argue for the thesis that biological evolution endowed the human mind with a system of content‐specific computational mechanisms designed to solve long‐standing adaptive problems humans encountered as hunter‐gatherers, and not just a generalized "capacity for culture" or all‐purpose "learning capacity". I analyze three types of arguments they offer: historical arguments for the rise of content‐Specific psychology; programmatic arguments for the aims, theory, concepts, and methods of their evolutionary approach; and experimental arguments for the content‐dependence of reasoning. Their arguments stand or fall on the claim that functionally specialized adaptations must be richly structured in a content‐specific way.
Inchoate in Kota? Contesting Authority through a North Indian Pageant‐Play
Authors: Peabody Norbertt
Published: January 2005

Through an examination of a disputed north Indian pageant‐play, I show how subversive activity can transform existing structures of power while always remaining culturally informed. Thus the power of a hegemony does not lie in its ability to define a consciousness within the boundaries of which all resistance takes place. Rather, a particular dominant structure defines a center from which contestation develops. It defines a point of departure for resistance, not the extent of its universe.

Honor and Stratification in Pohnpei, Micronesia
Authors: Keating Elizabeth
Published: January 2005

This article is an investigation of honor in a Micronesian society, particularly as it is constructed in language. I argue that honor is a set of practices through which people organize positive embodied attitudes about social hierarchy, according particularly high value to acts of self‐depletion. A different notion of the self in the Pacific has implications for ideas about the universality of a personal notion of honor and suggests that the common element in Pohnpeian honor and that described for other societies is the link between honor and inequality or stratification, [honor, honorifics, Pohnpei, Pacific Islands, social stratification, language and culture]
Reading the Fools' Mirror: Reconstituting Identity against National and Transnational Political Practices
Authors: De Soto Hermine G.
Published: January 2005

Previous identity studies have often been presented within a theoretical framework that overemphasizes either the micro or macro context but in which the interaction of both levels is inadequately considered. In this article I examine the conflictual relationship between these levels within a late‐modern community in western Germany to show (1) how these national and transnational contexts affect local (micro) existence, and (2) how these effects are turned against national and transnational (macro) economic, political, and policies. I utilize the concept of ritual practice to analyze these unbounded relationships and to explore further how people in a mountainous border village in the Black Forest employ symbols and history in their regional carnival. I argue that these ritualistic practices demonstrate resistance to the national and transnational political and economic forces and the simultaneous reconstitution of local identities, [ritualistic practice, European transnational economic regulations, national policies, western Germany, identity]

On Discourse and Power: "Cults" and "Orientals" in Fiji
Authors: Kaplan Martha , Kelly John
Published: January 2005

Essences are not origins, as is made clearer when approaching discourse via methods of Latour rather than Foucault. Tracking the emergence of power in the alignment of heterogeneous agents, institutions, and objects, we contrast the fates of efforts by two British colonial officials in Fiji, one who sought to outlaw a "dangerous" movement in 1887 and a second who sought to thwart union organizing among "orientals" in 1935. Though the second effort fit more closely with an existing grand discourse ("orientalism"), the first aligned changing fields of interest in Fiji and empire. The first gained the power to represent the real, and the second did not. Realities of colonial power contradict Latour's principle of symmetry, but not the rest of his approach to the making of power, [discourse, power, orientalism, cargo cults, colonialism, Latour, Foucault, Fiji]

Black Like This: Race, Generation, and Rock in the Post‐Civil Rights Era
Authors: Mahon Maureen
Published: January 2005

In this article, I demonstrate that the intersection of race, class, generation, and education had a decisive impact on African American rock musicians who came of age during the post‐civil rights era from the late 1960s to the present.
By analyzing life stories, I connect rock musicians' experiences with school desegregation to the position they occupy between black and white mainstreams and discuss how they critique discourses of black authenticity through the identities and practices they have produced as members of the Black Rock Coalition. I also consider the effects of racism and racializing discourses on this group of African Americans.

Mind‐Body Problems
Authors: Martin Emily
Published: January 2005

In this article, I lay out some of the cultural assumptions in recent accounts of mind and brain in neuroscience, in which it is argued that human social activities can be reduced to neural processes in the brain. Since the current dominance of these accounts in the United States threatens the work of social and cultural anthropology and other non‐reductionist disciplines, I develop some ways the arguments of their critics can be bolstered with insights from anthropology. I ask what social features of the present context could be inciting this turn to a hyper‐rational, neuronal account of human consciousness, and explore fear of the newly valued irrational energy (akin to mania) often required by contemporary entrepreneurial capitalism as a possible source. To counter the forms of individual subjectivity encouraged by neuroreductionism, I argue that ethnography could contribute to a form of subjectivity that renders individuals thinkable only as social beings,[language, metaphor, cognitive science, neuroscience, manic depression, stock market, capitalism, United States]

Studying Thy Neighbor: Reflections on Participation
Authors: Bourdillon Michael F. C.
Published: January 2005

In a recent article in Anthropology and Humanism, Ellen Badone (1995) raises, but does not pursue, an issue that has concerned me for some time. She points out that she reacted unfavorably to a healer who used techniques that Badone regarded as manipulative in her own culture. She suggests that difficulty in suspending disbelief points to an advantage in cultural distance in anthropological fieldwork. My suggestion is that we should learn another lesson from her experience: that cultural distance and exoticism sometimes disguise the reluctance on the part of anthropologists to make judgments that are important to the cultures they study. If we protect ourselves from unfavorable reactions through cultural distance, we are cutting ourselves off from an important element in people's understanding of their society.

Crime and Punishment on the Margins of the Postapartheid State
Authors: Buur Lars
Published: January 2005

This article examines how communities on the margin of the new postapartheid state reclaim “stolen goods” and deal with “criminals” in ways that inflict physical punishment and are often profoundly brutal or violent. It explores how the use of corporal punishment in the form of beatings and other forms of inflicting pain comes to be seen as both necessary and legitimate by the affected communities. Crime is often articulated by township communities as their biggest obstacle to accessing development funding, investments, and employment initiatives. By drawing on past forms of organization from the struggle against apartheid, township residents, believing that the police are unable to preserve law and order, take the law into their own hands. These residents have created a range of local security structures to deal with crime—some well organized, others working on a more ad hoc basis. The kind of “justice” these emerging structures stand for is often the only kind of justice that large numbers of citizens in the South African townships can afford. The particular manner in which criminals are dealt with in the township is intimately related to the socioeconomic marginalization that most township residents encounter on a daily basis.
Red Herrings: Looking Back at Apartheid through James McClure's Detective Novels
Authors: Kapstein Helen
Published: January 2005

McClure's Kramer and Zondi detective novels play on issues of race, gender, oppression, and resistance in apartheid‐era South Africa while all the time the detectives try to solve the case. While McClure has a devoted readership, reception has been inconsistent. Are the books meant to be ironically critical of a racist cop upholding an illegitimate regime? Are they accurate and sympathetic portrayals of a pair of buddy cops doing their best against the odds? Or are they unreconstructed, violent, racist, and misogynistic indulgences? Part of what makes them intriguing is that they are far from simple fictions but, instead, feed into all of these readings. This is perhaps most clear in The Song Dog, the book McClure wrote last, as apartheid was ending, but set as the first in the series, when apartheid was peaking. This article probes the connections between the moment of.writing and the moment of the narrative and asks how the preauel reveals a range of anxieties about the end ofapartheid, from the clash between the personal and political, to tensions over imposing law and order, to the competition between magical prediction and rational detection. The article argues that the books display not a competen t pair of crime solvers, but detectives whose habitual practice is to misread the situation, the evidence, the body, and the crime as a result of the distortions of the apartheid system that render them unable to see clearly their own implication in the politics of everyday life and the failures of the system itself.

Home Care and Prevention
Authors: Saillant Francine
Published: January 2005

This article focuses on the practices and conceptions of prevention in home care that were prevalent among Quebec families during the first half of the 20th century. The analysis is based on an examination of 585 recipes in which prevention was an objective. The analysis finds that there are three prevention purposes in home care: strengthening, which includes caregiving acts that maintain good health and fortify the whole or particular parts of the body; cleansing and purifying, which include any care aimed at eliminating accumulated substances from the body; and finally, warding off illness. The discussion insists on the holistic nature of these practices and on their relationship to women's work. [prevention, home care, ethnomedicine, self‐care, women]
Biomedicine on the Spatial Periphery: The (Re)Production of a Metaphorical Landscape by Rural Health Care Practitioners in Northern California
Authors: Lockhart Chris
Published: January 2005

I examine the use of spatial concepts by rural health care practitioners in Northern California and suggest that rural and urban spatial metaphors are important means of expressing and (re)producing problems associated with their search for legitimacy and moral authority within afield of relations defined by biomedicine. I present three broad ways in which spatial metaphors are used by rural health care practitioners to continuously enact a “metaphorical landscape.” I situate this landscape in the context of a hierarchical field of relations within biomedicine, which is itself underpinned by a distinct urban bias and the uneven distribution of material and technological resources. I suggest that this landscape is partly the result of the rural health care practitioners' position within this field of relations and partly the result of implicit and historically situated frameworks of spatial meanings derived from capitalism,[rural health care practitioner, United States, landscape, metaphor, embodiment]
Costs and Benefits of Pharmaceuticals: The Value Equation for Older Americans
Authors: Levy Richard
Published: January 2005

Recent increases in drug expenditures are primarily due to the availability of more and better therapy rather than price inflation. Investment in new drugs generates savings throughout the health care system. Increased use of drugs, especially newer agents, has also resulted in increased longevity and reduced disability. Benefits from new pharmaceuticals far outweigh their costs for many key diseases of the elderly. Even incremental improvements in drug therapies contribute substantially to improved care. Chronic illness, disability, and an aging population will drive future health care spending. Pharmaceutical innovation will be an integral part of effective strategies to address this challenge. The availability of individualized therapy for the elderly will soon increase based on our rapidly growing understanding of the molecular and genetic basis of disease. This is expected to result in major advances in preventing, treating, and perhaps even curing many of the costly, life-threatening, and disabling diseases afflicting older Americans. The adequacy of drug benefit programs for elderly patients depends on the extent to which the range of drug therapies necessary for appropriate care are covered. Policies that foster the availability of unique pharmaceuticals can have important implications for treatment outcomes, quality of life, cost containment, and ongoing research investment in newer and more effective medicines. Such policies increase the diversity of agents within drug classes and thereby enable differentiated, individualized therapy. A wide range of choices is especially important for elderly patients, who have the greatest need for individualized care and are at greatest risk for compromised outcomes if choices are overly circumscribed.
Effectiveness of Case Management in Substance Abuse Treatment

Published: January 2005

Health officials have promoted case management as a promising intervention in substance abuse treatment (Ridgely & Willenbring, 1992). The relationship between organizational mission combined with case management and different types of outcomes has not been explored in studies, but they are worth noting and exploring further. This study, which is part of a larger clinical trial, examined the 3-, 6-, and 12-month effectiveness of case management in a residential setting for individuals treated for substance abuse. Clients who agreed to participate were randomly assigned to one of four study groups. Two groups received face-to-face case management and one telecommunication case management, while the fourth was the control group. Results from the analysis revealed only modest support for the effectiveness of case management as a supplement to traditional treatment. The face-to-face case-managed groups achieved improvements on the legal, employment, and psychiatric domains exceeding that achieved by the control group. Because of the short-term follow-up of the study, conclusive evidence of the effects of case management could not be drawn. This study is a valuable stepping stone, however, to further research in the field and as an aid to policymakers who are interested in knowing more about the effects of case management.
Case Management for Caregivers
Authors: Noelker Linda S.
Published: January 2005

This article originally was prepared as a resource guide to assist the nation’s Area Agencies on Aging as they begin developing or expanding services for the caregivers of older adults. A seminal question they face is how to provide case management service for this particular target population. The article reviews the literature on case management service generally, including its goals, functions, models, and outcomes. Its primary purpose, however, is to explicate the specific issues for providers to consider when planning and implementing case management service for caregivers. The article concludes with recommendations based on the results of evaluation research to maximize the benefits of caregiver services.
