Beschreibung
Delve into the fascinating and thought-provoking world of anthropological and sociological discourse with Marriage, Past and Present: A Debate between Robert Briffault and Bronislaw Malinowski. This compelling work captures the intellectual clash between two of the early 20th century's most prominent scholars as they explore the evolution and significance of marriage in human societies.Robert Briffault, a noted anthropologist and sociologist, and Bronislaw Malinowski, a pioneering figure in social anthropology, bring their distinctive perspectives and expertise to this vigorous debate. Through a series of essays and counterarguments, they examine the historical development of marriage, its cultural variations, and its role in contemporary society.Briffault, known for his critical views on the institution of marriage, argues that marriage has evolved primarily as a social contract influenced by economic and political factors. He challenges traditional notions of marriage as a natural and universal institution, proposing instead that it is a construct shaped by specific historical and cultural contexts.In contrast, Malinowski, celebrated for his fieldwork and functionalist approach, defends the idea of marriage as a fundamental and universal aspect of human societies. He emphasizes the biological and social functions of marriage, including the regulation of sexual relations, the rearing of children, and the establishment of kinship networks.Join Robert Briffault and Bronislaw Malinowski in this enlightening and engaging exploration of marriage, and discover the varied interpretations and meanings of this enduring social institution. Marriage, Past and Present is a timeless contribution to the study of human relationships and cultural evolution.
