The time has come to think about sex To some, sexuality may seem to be an unimportant
topic, a frivolous diversion from the more critical problems of poverty, war, disease, racism,
famine, or nuclear annihilation But it is precisely at times such as these, when we live with
the possibility of unthinkable destruction, that people are likely to become dangerously crazy
about sexuality Contemporary conflicts over sexual values and erotic conduct have much in
common with the religious disputes of earlier centuries They acquire immense symbolic
weight Disputes over sexual behaviour often become the vehicles for displacing social anxieties, and discharging their attendant emotional intensity Consequently, sexuality should be
treated with special respect in times of great social stress

Rank, power, authority: A reassessment of traditional leadership in South Pacific societies∗

This paper combines both ethnographic and archaeological data in an examination of the construction and use of monumental architecture in formative cultures. We propose that our current archaeological interpretations of the evolution and function of large‐scale social integrative facilities, i.e. monuments, should be informed by a broader understanding of the organizational role played by social integrative facilities in modern as well as prehistoric societies. With this information it is possible to re‐examine the massive prehistoric structures known as ‘great kivas’ in the American southwest. The construction and use of early great kivas are proposed to be most similar to the large‐scale, specialized ritual facilities documented in the ethnographic record.

Large‐scale integrative facilities in tribal societies: Cross‐cultural and southwestern US examples

All but buried for most of the twentieth century, the concept of altruism has re-emerged in this last quarter as a focus of intense scholarly inquiry and general public interest. In the wake of increased consciousness of the human potential for destructiveness, both scholars and the general public are seeking interventions which will not only inhibit the process, but may in fact chart a new creative path toward a global community. Largely initiated by a group of pioneering social psychologists, early questions on altruism centered on its motivation and development primarily in the context of contrived laboratory experiments. Although publications on the topic have been considerable over the last several years, and now represent the work of representatives from many disciplines of inquiry, this volume is distinguished from others in several ways. Embracing the Other emerged primarily as a response to recent research on an extraordinary manifestation of real-life altruism, namely to recent studies of non-Jewish rescuers of Jews during World War II. It is the work of a multi-disciplinary and international group of scholars, including philosophers, social psychologists, historians, sociologists, and educators, challenging several prevailing conceptual definitions and motivational sources of altruism. The book combines both new empirical and historical research as well as theoretical and philosophical approaches and includes a lengthy section addressing the practical implications of current thinking on altruism for society at large. The result is a multi-textured work, addressing critical issues in varied disciplines, while centered on shared themes.
