This thesis contributes to the existing knowledge and understanding of Greater London local labour movement history, by considering it from the perspective of the meeting spaces, the labour halls, which provided a focal point for a range of activities between 1918 and 1979. Evidence, drawn from fifteen selected labour halls, illuminates a diverse range of themes, including the role of political and industrial organisations; the provision of leisure and working class education; the representation of women and the nature of gender-specific organisation; the increasing non-political usage of the premises and the diverse range of associations which using the halls. Furthermore, financial necessity precipitated a certain degree of pragmatism in the management of the halls, as evidenced by the hiring of rooms to organisations such as the Communist Party of Great Britain and the frequent sale of alcohol on the premises. Comparative studies centred upon Cambridge, Sheffield and Newport, South Wales, established that there was no indication of a specific and unique "Greater London Labour Hall" identity. The reasons for the decline of the 15 halls were more complex and extensive than the existing literature on the post-war Labour Party implies. The lack of reform at Constituency Labour Party level, the cost of maintaining the premises, and the rise of alternative meeting venues contributed to the decline of the selected premises as political spaces.

Personagem dos mais importantes na consolidação da antropologia brasileira dos anos 50 e autor de livros de repercussão internacional, sua trajetória tornou-se, no entanto, particularmente a partir da segunda metade da década de 70, de certa forma deslocada em relação a boa parte do trabalho realizado por antropólogos no país, o que acabou por minimizar sua influência intelectual no cenário antropológico brasileiro. Isto se explica não só por Darcy ter valorizado uma intensa participação política junto ao Estado, iniciada ainda na década de 60, como também por ter sido o autor de uma antropologia fortemente marcada por uma experiência específica vivenciada por ele, como exilado, em diversos países da América Latina. Desta forma, ao acompanhar o seu percurso, busco entender como se articulam o discurso, a prática e a obra de Darcy Ribeiro no período em questão, a partir de um campo empírico específico. Refiro-me ao acervo pessoal de Darcy Ribeiro, atualmente sob os auspícios da Fundação Darcy Ribeiro, cuja documentação, praticamente inexplorada no campo das ciências sociais, constitui a fonte da maior parte das discussões realizadas no presente trabalho / Abstract: This thesis analyzes the path made by Darcy Ribeiro from 1944 to 1982, period of time which corresponds to his activity, first of all as an anthropologist, and then as a politician and as a refugee. And it was mostly during this period that almost all of his anthropological work was written. He was one of the most important characters in the consolidation of the Brazilian anthropology from the 50â?¿s and he was the author of books with international importance. His path was, nevertheless, different, in a certain way, from the work done by other anthropologists in the country, especially after the middle of 70â?¿s. With this attitude, his intellectual influence in the Brazilian anthropological group was minimized. We can understand that by the fact that Darcy had an intense political participation in the government, starting in the beginning of the 60â?¿s and also by being an author of an anthropology designed by his experience as a refugee in many Latin America countries. So, by following his path, I try to understand how his speech, his practice and his work were articulated during these years. This research is based on a specific field research. Iâ?¿m talking about Darcy Ribeiroâ?¿s personal archive, nowadays supervised by the Darcy Ribeiroâ?¿s Foundation. These documents, which are practically unexplored in the social sciences studies, are the major source of all the discussions done in this work / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais / Doutor em Ciências Sociais

This thesis explores the history of British anthropology at the start of the twentieth century through a biographical focus on Maria Antonina Czaplicka (1884-1921). The title calls into question the marginalisation of people and processes in the history of anthropology that do not explicitly contribute to the dominant lineage of British social anthropology and offers to add depth and nuance to the narrative through analysis stemming from material sources. I use Czaplicka as a case study to demonstrate how close attention to a seemingly marginal person with an incomplete and scattered archival record, can help formulate a clearer picture of what anthropology was and what it can thus become. My research contributes to the understanding and appreciation of women's involvement in anthropology, calls into question national borders of the discipline at this point in time, highlights the networks that nurtured it, and demonstrates the potential that museum collections have for an enriched understanding of the history of anthropology. I propose that history of anthropology is better understood through a planar approach that allows multiple parallel developments to exist together rather than envisaging a linear evolution towards a single definition of social anthropology. The project lays the groundwork for further research into the role that museums can have for understanding anthropological legacy and the possibilities they may have in creating fresh understandings of the contemporary world.

A investigação revela como cientistas sociais norte-americanos da Smithsonian Institution e antropólogos brasileiros e mexicanos, arregimentados por agências governamentais ou de caráter cooperativo, acabaram se associando a sanitaristas, administradores e educadores em torno de uma agenda comum de ações médico-sanitárias e projetos de desenvolvimento dirigidos às comunidades mais remotas e atrasadas de países como Brasil e México. A rede de especialistas apostou na contribuição que o relativismo cultural podia oferecer considerando a necessidade de tornar inteligível a realidade sócio-cultural das populações alvo das intervenções modernizadoras. Eles também assumiram que vencer as resistências locais à mudança representava um pré-requisito para a eficácia das políticas de saúde e educação sanitária a serem implementadas. No caso do Brasil, o Serviço Nacional de Proteção ao Índio, o Serviço Especial de Saúde Pública e o Instituto Nacional de Estudos Pedagógicos foram órgãos pioneiros na incorporação das ciências sociais, vinculando-as a uma agenda de reforma social. O propósito de empregar o conhecimento etnográfico da vida social como um recurso válido para o desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento de políticas públicas também esteve presente nos programas de estudos de comunidade conduzidos por aqui nos anos cinqüenta, como o Projeto do São Francisco e o Projeto Bahia-Columbia. Algumas destas experiências já foram objeto de análise, outras têm aqui sua história recuperada, mas a proposta principal é tomá-las em conjunto, dentro de uma perspectiva comparativa, que visa tanto compor um quadro abrangente dos interesses e compromissos da antropologia do pós-guerra e de sua inserção em domínios não acadêmicos, quanto estimar a contribuição que se esperava extrair da disciplina, e da abordagem relativista preconizada por ela, para os programas de intervenção, com destaque para o campo da saúde pública. / Abstract: This study aims to clarify the post-war chapter of the history of Anthropology that refers to the anthropologists' involvement in technical assistance programs in Latin America, and the application of anthropological knowledge to the public health field. The research reveals how North American social scientists from the Smithsonian Institution, Brazilian and Mexican anthropologists from governmental or cooperative agencies joined sanitarians, administrators and educators who had a common agenda on medical sanitary action as well as development projects addressed to the most remote and underdeveloped communities of countries like Brazil and Mexico. The specialists believed in the contribution that cultural relativism could offer in considering the need for understanding the sociocultural reality of the populations that were being influenced by modernizing interventions. They also considered that overcoming the locals' resistance to change represented a prerequisite for the implementation and efficiency of health policies and sanitary education. In Brazil, the National Service for Protection of Indigenous People (Serviço Nacional de Proteção ao Índio), the Special Service for Public Health (Serviço Especial de Saúde Pública) and the National Institute for Pedagogical Studies (Instituto Nacional de Estudos Pedagógicos) were pioneering organizations for the incorporation of the social sciences in an agenda for social change.The employment of ethnographic knowledge concerning social life as a valid resource for the development and improvement of public policies was also present in the community studies programs in the 50's, like the São Francisco Project and the Bahia-Columbia Project. Some of these experiences have already been the object of analysis, and others have their history recaptured now. The main purpose here is to see them as a whole in a comparative perspective aiming to compose a wide panorama of interests and compromises of post-war anthropology and its inclusion in non-academic domains, as well as estimate the contribution from the subject, and from its relativistic approach, to the intervention programs, especially the ones related to public health. / Doutorado / Doutor em Antropologia Social

The recent history of the Turkana of northern Kenya has rarely been explored in detail, a fact that corresponds with, and to a large extent facilitates, their regular portrayal in the popular press as passive, unchanging and therefore vulnerable in the face of ongoing and ensuing socio-economic transformations. Such visions of the Turkana and the region in which they live have, via their manifestation in the policies and practices of development-orientated interventions, actively inhibited (although never fully arrested) the fulfilment of various local desires and aspirations over the years. In addressing these topics, this thesis provides some hitherto largely unexplored and unrecognised historical context to the many socio-economic and political issues surrounding Turkana's ongoing development. It discusses interdisciplinary research which combined archaeological and ethnographic techniques and was undertaken amongst communities engaged in the most prominent livelihoods that have historically underlain the Turkana pastoral economy: fishing (akichem), cultivation (akitare), herding (akiyok) and raiding (aremor). In doing so, it draws attention to some of the ways in which these communities have actively and dynamically negotiated broad economic, environmental and political transformations over the last century and beyond, thereby providing a picture of social change and long-term continuity that might serve as a means for a more critical assessment of regional development over the coming years. By weaving together a series of historical narratives that emerge from a consideration of the changing production, use and exchange of material culture, the thesis builds an understanding of Turkana's history that diverges from more standard, implicitly accepted notions of recent change in such regions of the world that envisage globalisation purely as a process of convergence or homogenisation. Its central argument, which it demonstrates using various examples, is that seemingly disruptive transformations in daily practices, social institutions, livelihoods and systems of livelihood interaction can be envisaged as articulations of longer-term continuities, emerging from a set of durable yet open-ended dispositions within Turkana society and culture. Moreover, rather than being built on a stable, passive repertoire of cultural knowledge, the thesis shows that this capacity for change is established upon a dynamic generative process where value systems and institutions are reconfigured to the same extent as daily practices and skills, as knowledge is continually reconstituted and recast in relation to the shifting constraints and possibilities of daily life. It thus characterises this process as a form of resilience that is deeply rooted in and determinant of the Turkana pastoral economy.

Seu trabalho etnográfico no sul de Moçambique, particularmente com o estudo do costumes do que foi denominado grupo "tsonga", teve relevância em vários temas do debate antropológico. Porém a historiografia da disciplina se restringiu, majoritariamente, ao seu argumento sobre parentesco e evolução social exposto pelo texto basilar de Radcliffe-Brown "O irmão da mãe na África Austral". Nessa pesquisa buscou-se explorar outras contribuições etnográficas do autor, a partir de uma leitura detalhada de sua principal obra. Para isso, outros escritos, e versões da mesma obra, foram incluídos no estudo a fim de aprofundar nas idéias do autor. Dessa forma, a pesquisa apresenta contribuições de Junod sobre temas como linhagem, ritos de passagem. sistemas de casamento e sobre a relação entre norma social e comportamento. Apresenta-se também um breve estudo sobre a trajetória de Junod e a relação com sua obra. O olhar da historiografia da antropologia dirigido à obra de Junod a partir do debate estabelecido com Radcliffe-Brown relegou o pensamento de Junod à matriz evolucionista. Porém, com essa pesquisa, mostra-se que há outros pontos obscurecidos até então que o relacionam também à crescente corrente da antropologia social / Abstract: The object of this research is the work Ufe in a $outh African Tribe, wrote in 1913 by the Swiss missionary and ethnographer Henri Junod (1863-1934). His ethnographic work in the south of Mozambique, particularly with the costumes' study of what had been named "tsonga" group, had relevance in several themes in the anthropological debate. However, the anthropological historiography restricted itself, mostly, to Junod's argument about kinship and social evolution exposed through the Radcliffe-Brown's basilar article "The mother's brother in South Africa". In this research, it was explored others ethnographical contributions of Junod, found through a detail reading of Ufe in a South African Tribe. Other texts was used too, inclusively others versions of the work in question, with the objective of deepening in the author's ideas. In this matter, this dissertation presents Junod's contributions in themes as lineage, rites of passage, systems of n:arriage and the relation between social norm and behavior. Also, it was possible to present a brief study of the Junod's trajectory and its relation with his work. The Radcliffe-Brown's vision about Junod' s ideas located him in the evolutionary matrix. However, with this research, it was demonstrated that others elements, that had been obscured until now, relates Junod to the growing current of the social anthropology / Mestrado / Mestre em Antropologia Social

Nos anos seguintes, dedicou-se à teoria africanista e logrou inserir-se na academia britânica de meados do século passado. A antropóloga já indicava, neste período, algumas das questões que desenvolveria posteriormente, a partir da publicação de seu livro mais conhecido, Pureza e Perigo, de 1966. Se a teoria produzida depois de sua fase africanista fez com que Douglas se tornasse célebre mesmo fora dos círculos antropológicos britânicos, pouco foi estudado acerca da maneira como a antropóloga utilizou seus dados etnográficos na constituição de suas formulações sobre a relação entre os rituais simbólicos de pertencimento e exclusão, e a constituição das relações sociais. Um estudo das regras e dos constrangimentos do campo africanista, bem como das redes de sociabilidade de seus grupos hegemônicos, permite que se possa articular a experiência de Mary Douglas em suas interlocuções teóricas, com a trajetória de sua carreira antropológica. As continuidades de sua obra, entre seu trabalho etnográfico e suas preocupações desenvolvidas a partir de Pureza e Perigo, bem como as escolhas e os caminhos percorridos, possibilitam analisar, sob uma outra luz, a construção de seus argumentos. / Abstract: Mary Douglas conducted her fieldwork research in the Kasai region, in the Belgian Congo, at the end of the 1940's and the beginning of the 1950's. In the following years, she devoted her work to africanist theory and managed to be a part of the British academic field of that period. Then, the anthropologist had already approached some of the matters she would later develop, with the publication of her most known book, Purity and Danger, of 1966. If the theory constructed after her africanist period made Douglas renowned even outside the British anthropological circles, very little was studied about the way the anthropologist made use of her ethnographic data in the construction of her analysis on the relationship between the symbolic rituals of belonging and exclusion, and the constitution of social relations. A study of the rules and constraints of the africanist field, as well as of the sociability networks of its hegemonic groups, allows the articulation of Mary Douglas's experience in her theoretic dialogues, with the trajectory of her anthropological career. The continuities of her work, between her ethnographic research and the concerns she developed after Purity and Danger, as well as the choices made and the paths traveled, allow to cast a different light upon the construction of her arguments. / Doutorado / Antropologia Social / Doutor em Antropologia Social
