ANTC32H3 Lecture Notes - Max Gluckman, Social Inequality, Social Stratification
Document Summary
We didn"t do a reading of lecture last week, so we will discuss that today. Pritchard: why are they stateless: some people say they hadn"t become that complex yet. But he rejected that; he said it doesn"t have anything to do with history. He argued that it was because they rejected it: anthro wont necessarily be political. He started the piece by equating speech with power. Why is speech one of the essences of power: he starts by saying that there are fundamental things we need to realize. The organ of speech is one of the primary speech by the way power is maintained. If you are walking in the mall and someone says stop, it makes you stop. The state control over the speech that matters is what actually matters: claste loved paradox speech and power were connected. He says that the one who speaks is often the name.
