Quantitative Research in Proxemic Behavior1American Anthropologist - Tập 68 Số 4 - Trang 971-985 - 1966
Oliver Watson, Theodore D. Graves
Proxemics is the study of how man structures microspace, how he relates
physically to other persons with whom he is interacting, and what is
communicated by these physical relationships. Edward Hall, who coined the term
“proxemics” and devised a system of notation for recording proxemic behavior,
reports many impressionistic observations on Arab and American proxemic
differences. To test these hyp... hiện toàn bộ
The Truth from the Body: Medical Certificates as Ultimate Evidence for Asylum SeekersAmerican Anthropologist - Tập 107 Số 4 - Trang 597-608 - 2005
Didier Bigo, Estelle d’Halluin
Whether through traditional law or modern torture, the body has always been a
privileged site on which to demonstrate the evidence of power. But for
immigrants, the poor, and, more generally, the dominated—all of whom have to
prove their eligibility to certain social rights—it has also become the place
that displays the evidence of truth. In France, as immigration control
increases, asylum seekers... hiện toàn bộ
Distribution Patterns of Tropical Plant Foods as an Evolutionary Stimulus to Primate Mental DevelopmentAmerican Anthropologist - Tập 83 Số 3 - Trang 534-548 - 1981
Katharine Milton
Primates are noted for their mental abilities but the selective basis for such
traits has remained obscure. It is hypothesized that the element of
predictability associated with the spatial and temporal distribution patterns of
plant foods in tropical forests has served to stimulate mental development in
primates taking much of their food from the first trophic level. Primates able
to remember the... hiện toàn bộ
Hunting and Gathering in Tropical Rain Forest: Is It Possible?American Anthropologist - Tập 91 Số 1 - Trang 59-82 - 1989
Robert C. Bailey, GENEVIEVE HEAD, Mark R. Jenike, B. D. Owen, Robert B. Rechtman, ELZBIETA ZECHENTER
Hunters and gatherers living in tropical forests represent an important part of
the total range of variation among contemporary hunting and gathering societies.
Studies of tropical forest hunting and gathering peoples have contributed to our
perceptions of the foraging way of life. Yet no peoples have ever been directly
observed living independently of agriculture in tropical rain forest. This

Are Mixed Economies Persistent or Transitional? Evidence Using Social Networks from Arctic AlaskaAmerican Anthropologist - Tập 118 Số 1 - Trang 121-129 - 2016
Shauna BurnSilver, James S. Magdanz, Rhian Stotts, Matthew Berman, Gary P. Kofinas
ABSTRACTTwo opposing narratives describe future prospects for mixed economic
livelihoods in Alaska and the broader Arctic. On the one hand, Arctic
anthropologists have written about the emergence of persistent mixed economies
in Native communities. A second narrative echoes modernization assumptions and
assumes that “subsistence is dying,” mixed economies are transitional, and
Native communities a... hiện toàn bộ
