Enduring Substances, Trying Theories: The Caribbean Region as Oikoumene

Mintz, Sidney W.·1996·The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

Abstract

L'anthropologie culturelle a mis longtemps a s'interesser aux Antilles, sans doute parce que les cultures qui la composent different vivement de ce que l'on considere generalement comme son sujet veritable. L'« oikoumene » antillaise, premiere region du monde non-occidental a avoir subi une periode d'occidentalisation intensive, est d'une certaine maniere devenue « moderne » avant l'Europe elle-meme. Si l'histoire lui a concede une certaine coherence, celle-ci est plus sociologique que culturelle. C'est pour mettre a jour les concepts dont ils ont besoin pour decrire les processus de globalisation que les chercheurs se penchent aujourd'hui sur le cas des Antilles. Mais comme ils persistent a traiter l'histoire distinctive de cette region d'une maniere trop legere, ils n'ont pour l'instant obtenu que des resultats inegaux

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.
