Gender Ideology and Psychological Reality. An essay on cultural reproduction

Yale University Press, 1997. Hardcover. Pp: 220. Spiro propose a theory of cultural reproduction that is an alternative to the enculturation model of radical cultural determinism. He postulates that cultural systems are reproduced only insofar as they are internalized by members of society and that this occurs if these systems resonate with members' conscious and unconscious beliefs and desires or are employed by them as a resource for the construction of defense mechanisms. He compares his firsthand observations of a Burmese village to extensive data from a wide array of other societies (including our own) and argues that this explanation applies to all societies.

OEDIPUS in the TROBRIANDS.

Chicago / London, The university of Chicago press, 1982. 1st edition. Cloth binding, 22cmx14,5cm, Good condition. 'The Making of a Scientific Myth'. Spiro challenges the argument of Bronislaw Malinowski that the matrilineal society of the Trobriand Islands produced a psychological constellation - a matrilineal complex - different from Freud's Oedipus complex and the generalization regarding the restrictive provenance of the Oepidus complex to which it gave rise. Spiro undertakes a reanalysis of Malinowski's data and shows that there is enough to suggest the presence of a strong Oedipus complex. Contents: 1). The problem posed. 2). The Trobriand matrilineal complex: a critique. 3). The Trobriand Oedipus complex: a hypothesis. 4). Testing the Trobrians oedipal hypothesis: predicted ontogenetic determinants. 5). Testing the Trobriand oedipal hypothesis: predicted psychological concomitants. 6). Is the Oedipus conplex universal? With notes, references and index. Melford Elliot Spiro (*1920) is an American cultural anthropologist specializing in religion and psychological anthropology. The Trobriand Islands (today officially known as the Kiriwina Islands) are a 450 km² archipelago of coral atolls off the eastern coast of New Guinea. They are part of the nation of Papua New Guinea and are situated in Milne Bay Province. XII + 200 pag.
