Margaret
Mead, Public Anthropologist
-Nancy Lutkehaus
Quick, name an anthropologist.
Unless you are one, there is a good chance your list begins
and ends with Margaret Mead.Through TV and magazine, Mead became
anthropology's public face, an icon and public intellectual who
made anthropological insight relevant to a range of current social
issues. Mead brought culture home, proving that we could learn about
other cultures, and learn from them at the same time.

Are
Women Evolutionary Sex Objects?
-Fran Mascia-Lees
U.S. culture is particularly obsessed with breasts. Deeply interwoven
with standards of beauty, conceptions of sexuality, even the sense
of self worth, images of breasts permeate museums, book covers,
fashion ads, and movie screens. It may be no surprise then that
this human trait has been interpreted through the lens of male sexual
desire.. |
