With a new foreword by Bruce Kapferer, Professor of Anthropology, James Cook University- A reprint of the seminal anthropological work of the 1960s. Originally published by Manchester University Press.Victor Turner will be remembered as the anthropologist who developed the concept of the 'social drama', a method used extensively by anthropologists to describe and analyse the social life of a community. In essence, this technique involves analysing social crises within a community over a period of time in order to gain a better understanding of the key principles that govern the social life of the community.This book -- Turner's first 'social drama' study -- focuses on the village life of the Ndembu of Zambia who were then under British rule. The social constraints, such as the matrilineally-inherited headmanship system, and the various releases from these constraints, provoked periodic crises which caused great disruption and pain. These crises made visible the contradictions between the principles governing social life and the conflicts experienced between individuals and groups when enforcing these principles. Seven social dramas are discussed - all from one family over a period of twenty years -- each substantiated by sociological and demographic research.… (altro)

Incipit
Dati dalle informazioni generali inglesi.Modifica per tradurlo nella tua lingua.
Social anthropology in its modern form is only about forty years old, and during its short history it has changed and developed fast.
Foreword.
This account of the Lunda-Ndembu is based on two periods of field research carried out between December 1950 and February 1952, and May 1953 and June 1954, after my appointment as a Research Officer of the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute.
Acknowledgements.
In this book I attempt to isolate the cardinal factors underlying Ndembu residential structure.
Preface to the first edition.
It is now more than a decade since Schism and Continuity was first published. From this perspective it emerges clearly as a transitional book between the prevalent structural-functionalism of British anthropology in the 1940s - the period in which I received my training - and the processual analysis of the 1960s.
Preface to the 1968 edition.
This book is primarily what Professor Fortes would call a 'histological' study, an attempt to analyse in close detail the form and functioning of a sub-system, the village, within a wider system, the totality of Ndembu society.
Chapter I. Historical and ecological background.

In its general form, then, Ndembu society falls into that category of societies of which Professor Evans-Pritchard writes that 'the political organization takes a ritual or symbolic form which in politics with a higher degree of organization gives way ... to centralized administration'.
