我们可以从部落社会中学到什么关于在各种社会环境中男人群体解决与其他男人的冲突的方式?为了回答这个问题,《部落社会中的政治、法律和仪式》比较了近四十个案例研究社会(其中大多数在非洲)重建的前殖民部落状况,将它们的小规模社会关系与其大规模社会背景进行了比较。格鲁克曼一开始就向读者解释说,习俗是所有类型人类学的兴趣焦点。然而他的方法表现出对经济、政治和社会关系的浓厚兴趣。在本书中,马克斯·格鲁克曼提供了一生固执己见的分析的简洁版本。本材料按主题组织,人种学示例作为理论问题的简要说明出现。这里还讨论社会控制和稳定机制背景下的纠纷和权力斗争之间的关系。此外,格鲁克曼还对从十九世纪至今部落制度人类学分析的累积发展进行了逐步的调查,并支持了人类学是一门科学而不是一门艺术的论点。莎莉·福克·摩尔 (Sally Falk Moore) 的全新精彩介绍,以及格鲁克曼专业活动和出版物的新后记,为刚接触格鲁克曼作品的人提供了对这位伟大人类学家工作内容和背景的深入见解。
What can we learn from tribal societies about the ways in which, in a variety of social settings, groups of men resolve their conflicts with other men? In order to answer this question, Politics, Law and Ritual in Tribal Society compares nearly forty case study societies, most of them in Africa, in their reconstructed pre-colonial tribal condition, comparing their small-scale social relations to their large-scale social context. At the outset Gluckman explains to the reader that custom is the focus of interest of all types of anthropology. Yet his approach manifests a strong interest in economy, politics, and social relationships. In the volume, Max Gluckman offers a succinct version of a lifetime of opinionated analysis. This material is organized by theme and the ethnographic examples appear as brief illustrations of theoretical questions. Discussed here also is the relation between disputes and struggles for power within the context of mechanisms of social control and stability. In addition, Gluckman presents a step-by-step survey of the cumulative development of the anthropological analysis of tribal institutions, from the nineteenth century to the present, and supports the argument that anthropology is a science rather than an art. The new masterful introduction by Sally Falk Moore, along with a new postscript of Gluckman's professional activities and publications, provides newcomers to the work of Gluckman with deep insights into the contents as well as contexts within which the great anthropologist worked.
