Its complexity is considerable and, as some have remarked, its mechanical and logical beauty is astonishing. This complexity has however discouraged many scholars, students and people working in Aboriginal communities from actively and intellectually engaging with indigenous ways of conceiving and producing relationships based on kinship, despite the fact that it is a domain deeply embedded in everyday life and interaction. This handbook attempts to bring the principles of kinship in general, and Australian Aboriginal kinship in particular, closer to the reader in an understandable and pedagogic way. Aimed at Aboriginal people themselves, students in the social sciences and humanities or, in fact, any other person eager to learn more about Aboriginal Australia, while also discussing some issues of interest to even accomplished anthropologists, the book is divided into four general parts each tackling specific questions. Part 1 deals with the historical and ethnographic background against which the discussions on kinship are framed in later sections. Important concepts in anthropology such as 'culture' or 'hunter-gatherer societies' are looked at. Part 2 develops the basic tools and concepts needed to understand kinship. It discusses its main domains, such as terminology, marriage, descent and filiation. Part 3 applies the material considered up to this point to actual ethnographic examples from the Australian Western Desert and elaborates on other important concepts such as 'family', 'household' and 'domestic group'. Part 4 explains social organisation and, in particular, generational moieties, patri- and matrimoieties, sections and subsections, all of which are central to Aboriginal peoples' ways of interacting. Finally, the concluding chapter discusses in a more critical fashion the concept of kinship itself ad elaborates on the…Sociology & AnthropologyAustralieanthropologie socialeKinshipaborigèneséthnographieaboriginalsocial anthropologyAustraliaethnographysocial anthropologyKinshipaboriginalAustraliaethnographySociology & AnthropologyAustralieanthropologie socialeKinshipaborigèneséthnographieaboriginalsocial anthropologyAustraliaethnographyDousset Laurent1138687FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910275041303321Australian Aboriginal Kinship3028715UNINA05461oam 22006735 450 991078794790332120200520144314.01-4648-0229-710.1596/978-1-4648-0222-5(CKB)2670000000570832(EBL)1813570(SSID)ssj0001349735(PQKBManifestationID)12526005(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001349735(PQKBWorkID)11398479(PQKB)10320588(MiAaPQ)EBC1813570(Au-PeEL)EBL1813570(CaPaEBR)ebr10953068(CaONFJC)MIL650726(OCoLC)893333091(The World Bank)18239220(US-djbf)18239220(EXLCZ)99267000000057083220140724d2014 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentnrdamediancrdacarrierCorporate governance of state-owned enterprises a guide for practitioners /The World BankWashington, D.C. :The World Bank,[2014]1 online resource (pages cm)Description based upon print version of record.1-4648-0222-X 1-322-19446-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover; Contents; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; Introduction to the Toolkit; Executive Summary; 1.
