Study of Yanomami Culture: Day In The Field

On my day I will write a view of the person who took Professor Chagnon and a picture of his research on Yanomamo. I am dissatisfied with majoring photography and anthropology. I am helping Professor Chagnon to learn. In this trip I will focus on the Yanomami War and the violence in the village so that they can better understand their culture and why they should receive attacks and violence. It is held in the spring and we mainly discuss it with men.

Several Yanomi have been involved in fierce battles and other kinds of bloody conflict, but such violence is not manifestation of Yanomami culture itself. Rather, it is a product of a particular historical context: Yanomami does war because it exists and exists in some form, not because there is no Western culture. All the Yanomi wars that we know are within the scope of Neil Whitehead, what I call "tribal zone", which transcends state administrative control, led by people outside the province It is a wide area. Respond to the wide range of influence of country presence

An influential ethnographic magazine by anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon describes life of Yanomami as "state of chronic war". A description of Chagnon and a similar explanation of Yanomami explained them as aggressive and warlike, raised controversy among anthropologists, and created a great interest for Yanomami. The discussion focused on the level of violence in the Yanomami society and whether violence and war were interpreted as an essential part of Yanomami culture or interpreted as correspondence to a specific historical situation. In 1985, anthropologist Jack Risotto lived in Yanomami for over 20 years.

Anthropologists working on the tradition of ecologists like Marvin Harris believe that the violence culture between Yanomami evolves through competition that there is no nutrition in that area. come here. However, the "Yanomami War" studied by R. Brian Ferguson in 1995 studied all recorded war cases of Yanomami, and some Yanomami actually engaged in intense fighting and other types of bloody conflict It is expression of Mami culture itself. Rather, it is a product of a particular historical context: Yanomami does war because it exists and exists in some form, not because there is no Western culture.
