This edited collection presents a range of heretofore unpublished,
unavailable methods for the systematic reconstruction of culture
from interviews and other discourse. Authors set the design and
evolution of their methods in the context of their own research
projects, and draw general lessons about investigating culture
through discourse. These methods have largely grown out of the work
of the cultural models school, and represent the approaches of some
of the very best methodologists in cultural anthropology today. An
impetus for the volume has been inquiries from researchers, many of
them graduate students, about how to conduct the kind of research
that cultural models theorists do. This is not a linguistics book;
unlike approaches to discourse analysis from linguistics, this
volume focuses on culture, treating discourse as a medium
especially rich in clues for cultural analysis, and hence a window
into culture.
Attachment theory has massively influenced contemporary psychology.
While intended to be general, this western theory harbors a number
of culturally biased assumptions and is devoted to decontextualized
experimental procedures that fail to challenge this ethnocentrism.
The chapters in this volume rethink attachment theory by examining
it in the context of local cultural meanings, including the
meanings of childrearing practices, the cultural models of virtue
that shape those practices, and the translation of shared childhood
experience into adult cultural understandings through developmental
and psychodynamic processes. The current volume is not only a
challenge to attachment theorists, but also an object lesson for
psychologists of many other stripes.
Since the 1950s, the study of early attachment and separation has
been dominated by a school of psychology that is Euro-American in
its theoretical assumptions. Based on ethnographic studies in a
range of locales, this book goes beyond prior efforts to critique
attachment theory, providing a cross-cultural basis for
understanding human development.
