Document Summary
Lecture # 10 kinship: procreative ideology and kinship ideology - malinowski. Baloma spirits that enter a women"s body in the trobriand island. Enter the body when a women is bathing and cause her to become pregnant. The broad assertion that the natives are ignorant of the existence of physiological impregnation may be laid down quite safely and correctly. Don"t recognize a connection between intercourse and conception. Veiola connections in the maternal line (i. e. mothers kin) the idea underlying maternal relationship is the community of the body. The line of demarcation between paternal or agnatic relationship (as a generic conception and term does not exist for the natives). When a trobiand passes, he prefers to pass the torch to his son rather than his brother or nephew who he is closely related to. Way of making final repayment to his wife/family. Impregnation (father having share in building up relation with child) vs intercourse.
