Two or Three Things that I Know about Culture
Abstract
Cette conference traite principalement de la signification continue de la culture en tant que concept anthropologique et de la signification de cette continuite pour les peuples que les anthropologues etudient. Une position est prise contre le rejet facile et fonctionnaliste des revendications de distinction culturelle par les populations (soit-disant l'invention de la tradition) et en defense de l'importance continue des distinctions qui sont faites (la puissance inventive de la tradition). Il est aussi defendu que les veterans anthropologues tels que Boas, Linton et autres, loin d'etre coupables de toutes les abominations prononcees sur eux, avaient des idees sur la culture qui sont encore pertinentes pour comprendre ses formes et processus contemporains. Mais a cette epoque, ils avaient un avantage sur la plupart de nous aujourd'hui : ils n'etaient pas paralyses par la peur de la structure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
