Male circumcision, or removal of the foreskin, is a rite of passage in many communities, and one that is entangled and steeped in tradition and culturally (constructed) normatives and deeply embedded expectations. Male medical circumcision is a much more recently initiated medical procedure that is promoted in sub-Saharan Africa as part of the arsenal of HIV / AIDS preventative strategies meant to aid in combating the rampant spread of the pandemic. Many scholars point to the Higher Education context as (already) being a space for experimental and risky sexual behaviours. Male university students in turn comprise an important communitt; in interventions against HIV /AIDS and medical male circumcision is seen as one such intervention. This study proceeds through the lens of social constructionism and the qualitative narratives shared by young Black African (circumcised) university students, to shed light on male students' understanding of the 'benefits' of medical male circumcision or MMC. The findings reveal that while some students see the benefits of medical circumcision in the context of reducing susceptibility to sexually transmitted diseases and HIV I AIDS, other students believe that they are rendered insusceptible and 'immune' and cannot contract the disease due to being medically circumcised, additionally compounding and placing the male students and their partners at serious risk. The study shows how densely knitted constructions of African masculinity and manhood circulating within the campus may potentially retard the health benefit effects of medical circumcision by throwing light on male students' sexual practices at the University ofKwaZulu-Natal.
在许多社区,男性包皮环切是一种成人仪式,它与传统、文化(建构)规范和根深蒂固的期望纠缠在一起。男性包皮环切术是最近才开始的一项医疗程序,在撒哈拉以南非洲推广,作为艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防战略的一部分,旨在帮助遏制这一流行病的猖獗蔓延。许多学者指出,高等教育环境(已经)成为实验性和风险性行为的温床。男大学生又构成了一个重要的群体;在防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病的干预措施中,男性包皮环切术被视为一种此类干预措施。本研究通过社会建构主义和年轻非洲黑人(包皮环切)大学生分享的定性叙述进行,以阐明男性学生对医学男性包皮环切或MMC的“好处”的理解。调查结果显示,虽然一些学生认为医学包皮环切术在减少对性传播疾病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的易感性方面有好处,但其他学生认为,由于医学包皮环切术,他们变得不易感染和"免疫",无法感染这种疾病,这进一步加剧了男性学生及其伴侣面临的严重风险。这项研究揭示了夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省大学男学生的性行为,表明非洲男性气概和男子气概在校园内的密集结构可能会潜在地阻碍割礼对健康的好处。

Syncretism in India: A Reality or an Unreality? 印度的融合:现实还是不现实?

The term 'syncretism' has often been misinterpreted by scholars of different disciplines of social science, including anthropology. A number of articles could be found in anthropology relating to syncretism that interprets the term as mere borrowing of cultural traits among two or more than two groups; more specifically, between Hindus and Muslims, or Hindus and Christian, or even between tribals and non-tribals, or tribals and Christianih;. Such interpretations are gross deviations from the root-meaning of the term. The essential components of syncretism are; first, that it emerges only when two incompatible groups unite together as a front to face a common crisis or a common foe, and secondly, that it is a temporary phenomena. The paper deals with a number of examples of mistakenly suggested syncretistic phenomena put forward by anthropologists, and concludes with this remark that syncretism hardly exists in the daily life and culture of India. It is a myth, a utopia.
“融合”一词经常被包括人类学在内的不同社会科学学科的学者误解。在人类学中可以找到许多与融合有关的文章,这些文章将该术语解释为仅仅借用两个或两个以上群体之间的文化特征;更具体地说,是印度教徒和穆斯林之间,印度教徒和基督教徒之间,甚至是部落和非部落之间,部落和基督教徒之间。这种解释严重偏离了这个词的本义。融合的基本组成部分是;首先,只有当两个不相容的群体联合起来作为一个阵线来面对共同的危机或共同的敌人时,它才会出现;其次,它是一个暂时的现象。本文列举了一些人类学家错误地提出的融合现象的例子,并总结说,融合在印度的日常生活和文化中几乎不存在。这是一个神话,一个乌托邦。

Izikhothani Perceptions on Women, Sex and Sexuality Izikhothani对女性、性和性的看法

South African women are vulnerable to rape and other forms ofbrutality experienced at the hands of men, including their intimate partners. The culturally entrenched patriarchal system encourages the dominance of women by men and expresses the underlying tenor of sexual domination of women. So called 'traditional' forms of African masculinity in turn appear to disempower women and portray the African man as 'strong and aggressive.' The further socialization (normalization?) of various strands of hegemonic masculinity has been identified as the root of gender based violence. The izikhothani('township slang' for a man who is supposedly well groomed, and obsessive about fashion and styling his body) offer potentially (ln alternative construction of (heterosexual) masculinity. For the izikhothani, sex and sexualihj play a huge role, especially when it comes to their sense of how they see themselves and how they wish to be seen (by women). However, in tandem with their keen fashion sense and body grooming is their claim that women should be respected and not abused. Given this claim by the izikhothani, this paper brings an empirical gaze to how izikhothani construct their masculinity as well as their perceptions on how women should be treated sexually. The paper asks whether this can be viewed as a potentially alternate and 'softer' kind of African masculinih;. Findings reveal however, that rather than offer an alternate form of masculinih;, the izikhothani further objectify women, whilst simultaneously chorusing their respect for the opposite sex.
南非妇女容易遭受男性(包括其亲密伴侣)的强奸和其他形式的暴行。文化上根深蒂固的父权制度鼓励男子对妇女的统治,并表达了妇女在性方面占优势的基本原则。所谓的“传统”非洲男子气概反过来似乎剥夺了女性的权力,并将非洲男性描绘成“强壮而好斗”的形象。各种男性霸权的进一步社会化(正常化?)被认为是基于性别的暴力的根源。“izikhothani”(“乡里俚语”,指那些被认为衣着整洁、痴迷于时尚和塑造自己身体的男人)提供了潜在的(另一种)(异性恋)男子气概的构建。对于izikhothani来说,性和性欲扮演着巨大的角色,尤其是当他们如何看待自己以及他们希望(被女性)如何看待的时候。然而,与他们敏锐的时尚品味和身体修饰相一致的是,他们声称女性应该受到尊重,而不是被虐待。鉴于izikhothani的这一说法,本文将从经验的角度审视izikhothani是如何构建自己的男子气概的,以及他们对女性应该如何被性对待的看法。论文问道,这是否可以被视为一种潜在的替代和“更柔和”的非洲男子气概;然而,研究结果表明,izikhothani并没有提供另一种形式的男性气概,而是进一步物化了女性,同时合唱了他们对异性的尊重。

The purpose of the present study is to examine the timing and sequence of eruption of the permanent teeth among the Chakhesang children ofSodzulhou village, Dimapur District, Nagaland. A total sample of105 boys and 110 girls aged between 5 and 15 years were orally examined. The statistical tabulations like percentages, frequencies and median ages were used for analytical purposes. The earliest tooth to erupt is mandibular first molar and the last is the maxillary second molar in both the sexes. Boys are ahead of the girls with regards to the eruption ages of the permanent teeth. All the permanent teeth tend to erupt earlier in the mandible than in maxilla in both the boys and girls. An overall comparison of the median ages of the permanent tooth emergence of the Chakhesang population with some other Indian populations shows that, in the Chakhesang population, the eruption timing is distinctly delayed in the maxillary as well as mandibular second molars, maxillary lateral incisors and canines as compared to other populations. However, the maxillary first premolars and mandibular lateral incisors emerged earlier among the Chakhesang population than among the other Indian populations.
本研究的目的是检查那加兰邦迪马普尔县sodzulhou村Chakhesang儿童恒牙的时间和顺序。共有105名5至15岁的男孩和110名女孩接受了口头检查。统计表格如百分比、频率和年龄中位数用于分析目的。不论男女,最早出牙的是下颌第一磨牙,最后出牙的是上颌第二磨牙。男孩长恒牙的年龄比女孩早。在男孩和女孩中,所有的恒牙都倾向于在下颌骨比上颌骨早出牙。对Chakhesang人群与其他印度人群恒牙出牙年龄中位数的总体比较表明,与其他人群相比,在Chakhesang人群中,上颌和下颌第二磨牙、上颌侧门牙和犬齿的出牙时间明显延迟。然而,上颌第一前磨牙和下颌侧门牙在查赫桑人群中比在其他印度人群中出现得更早。

Throughout the world honey is symbolically associated with different aspects of societies and cultures. Holistic studies on honey-community relationship are rare and particularly in case of Jarawa, it's very scanty. Jarawa is a classic hunter-gatherer communi h) of Andaman Islands and honey is an inseparable component o!Jarawa society and culture. It contributes as a major food item for the Jarawas for about half of the calendric year when other foremost food resources are of scanh;. Moreover, honey-Jarawa relationship may be observed from their every activity starting from searching ofbee-hive to marking it, collection procedure to consumption pattern, storing procedure to use of by-products, social dynamics to medicinal use etc. Use of different herbs as bee repellent during honey collection and dynamicih; of its application is also of immense importance. This manuscript attempts to make a holistic ethnographic enquin; on honey-community relationship of Jarawa community with special reference to traditional knowledge system and socio-cultural dynamics.
在世界各地,蜂蜜象征着社会和文化的不同方面。对蜂蜜与群落关系的整体研究很少,特别是对加洛瓦的研究非常少。加洛瓦是安达曼群岛上一个典型的狩猎采集社区,蜂蜜是其中不可分割的组成部分。加洛瓦社会和文化。在其他最重要的粮食资源匮乏的情况下,在一年的大约一半时间里,它是爪哇人的主要粮食。此外,从寻找蜂箱到标记蜂箱,从收集过程到消费模式,从储存过程到副产品的使用,从社会动态到药用等,都可以观察到蜂蜜与贾拉瓦人的关系。在采蜜和采蜜过程中使用不同草药作为驱蜂剂;它的应用也非常重要。这份手稿试图做一个全面的民族志探究;以传统知识体系和社会文化动态为参考,研究加洛瓦社区的蜂蜜-社区关系。

A Note on the Syncretistic Values among the Indian Population 关于印度人口的融合价值观的说明
Pub Date : 2016-06-01 DOI: 10.1177/0976343020160116
Anupma Bharadwaj
Syncretism is the process by which two or more independent cultural systems, or elements thereof, conjoin together at a given time and space to form altogether a new and distinct system. The process of syncretism occurs largely due to long time and continued interaction of different cultural systems; howsoever they may be opposed to each other, theoretically and conceptually. In India, due to age-old interaction of the Hindus with the Muslims and the Christians, a number of syncretistic phenomena can be observed in the cultural systems of the respective populations. It should be very clearly noted that syncretism is much more than merely borrowing of cultural traits among two groups, which often takes place when two cultural systems meet together. In syncretism, the elements of a culture, by virtue of circumstances, is so deeply imbibed in another culture that it appears to be its integral part. There are innumerable numbers ofDargah (a Muslim Shrine) in India, where the Hindus pay reverence and propitiate before the shrine to achieve their desired goals. Similarly, a number of Hindu beliefs, rituals, and observances have moved into the Christian and Muslim cultural systems in India, and vice versa. The paper furnishes a number of significant instances ofbeliefs, rituals, and observances that are observed among the Hindus, Muslims, and Christians that manifest syncretistic values.
融合是两种或两种以上独立的文化系统或其中的元素在一定的时间和空间结合在一起,形成一个全新的、独特的系统的过程。融合的过程在很大程度上是由于不同文化系统长期持续的相互作用而发生的;无论它们在理论上和概念上是如何对立的。在印度,由于印度教徒与穆斯林和基督徒的长期互动,在各自人口的文化体系中可以观察到许多融合现象。应该非常清楚地指出,融合不仅仅是两个群体之间文化特征的借用,这往往发生在两种文化体系相遇的时候。在融合主义中,一种文化的元素,由于环境的原因,被另一种文化深深吸收,似乎是其不可分割的一部分。在印度有无数的dargah(一个穆斯林神殿),印度教徒在神殿前崇敬和祈祷,以实现他们想要的目标。类似地,许多印度教信仰、仪式和仪式已经进入了印度的基督教和穆斯林文化体系,反之亦然。这篇论文提供了一些重要的信仰、仪式和仪式的例子,这些信仰、仪式和仪式是印度教徒、穆斯林和基督徒之间观察到的,体现了融合的价值观。

Prakash Chandra Deogharia
Present paper presents the possible explanations for differing social diversihj in employment of workers in units owned by various social groups of entrepreneurs. This perplexing pattern requires an in depth research on understanding recruitment preferences of employers and underlying causes thereof It is equally important to understand that whether SCjST entrepreneurs are driven more by labour market signals while hiring workers without any prejudices of caste and gender, or they though do exhibit such preferences but are unable to get trained workers from their own social background. The paper also demonstrates how employment in OC/OBC owned enterprises is largely organized on caste lines, whereas same is not true in case of units owned by SC/ST. The paper explores possible causes for differing enterprise ownership and social diversity in employment of workers in units owned by various social groups of entrepreneurs.
本文提出了不同社会企业家群体所拥有的单位中工人就业的不同社会多样性的可能解释。这种令人困惑的模式需要深入研究,了解雇主的招聘偏好及其潜在原因。同样重要的是,了解SCjST企业家在雇佣没有任何种姓和性别偏见的工人时,是否更多地受到劳动力市场信号的驱动,或者他们虽然表现出这种偏好,但无法从自己的社会背景中获得训练有素的工人。本文还展示了OC/OBC拥有的企业的就业在很大程度上是按种姓划分的,而SC/ST拥有的单位则不是这样。本文探讨了不同社会企业家群体所拥有的企业所有制差异和工人就业社会多样性的可能原因。

The material aspect of culture is used by the human being in the adaptation to their immediate local environmwt. This adaptation in an ecological setting is done by means of traditional technolog1;. Traditional technolOgJJ is part and parcel of human culture and passed through generations through the means of cultural communication. For the mountain ecosystem, such as Himalayan, there specific requirement is the reason for development of traditional technology.

文化的物质方面被人类用来适应他们直接的当地环境。这种在生态环境中的适应是通过传统技术完成的。传统技术是人类文化的重要组成部分,通过文化交流的方式代代相传。对于喜马拉雅山这样的山地生态系统来说,有特定的要求是开发传统技术的原因。这种技术往往与传统知识、当地生态资源相融合,与新技术相结合;(包括团队内部发展的创新理念,以及从主流城市设置中借鉴的知识体系)。在本文中,作者考察了传统技术;以及对喜马拉雅山区生态系统的自然适应。

This paper discusses the first-borns among the matrilineal Garos, and their statuses, positions, privileges and responsibilities. Interestingly this ascribed status is rather fluid among them, and thus the paper discusses the circumstances which lead to a change in the status that was bestowed by birth, reiterating the fact that birth alone is not the criterion in the status given to the "first-born". The paper follows the narrative sh;le and uses the auto-ethnographical methodologt; since it discusses the author's own experiences and community.
本文讨论了母系加罗斯家族中的长子及其地位、地位、特权和责任。有趣的是,这种被赋予的地位在他们中间是相当不稳定的,因此,本文讨论了导致由出生赋予的地位发生变化的情况,重申了这样一个事实,即出生本身并不是赋予"长子"地位的标准。本文遵循叙事理论,运用自民族志方法论;因为它讨论了作者自己的经历和社区。

The Nicobarese, one of the Mongoloid communities, are the permanent settlers of the Nicobar Islands spread over North to South in Bay of Bengal. They practice horticulture as mainstay of their economy and possess rich cultural heritage in terms of language, socio-cultural practices, economy, political organization, animistic beliefs, fetish worship, material culture, and folklore. During colonial rule, the Christianity have had tremendous impact on the Nicobarese society and started the process of acculturation in terms of changes in food habits, dress pattern, etiquette and manners, religious beliefs, and so on. There after the businessmen from Minicoy, Laccadives, and Maldives also spread the Islam in the Nicobar in general and Central Nicobar in particular. With the resettlement of Srilankan Tamils and people from different parts of India, mainly West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, the Nicobarese culture is exposed to distinct cultural traditions. Further the tragic tsunami in 2004, which took many lives, made great impact on their material culture; and many of them were rehabilitated in new locations. As a result a pluralistic culture has developed among the Nicobarese as majority of them converted to Christianity, Islam and other religious faiths. Despite this fact, still their animistic beliefs and cultural traditions are practiced at large during various ceremonial occasions. With this backdrop, the present paper attempts to highlight the cultural pluralism of Nicobarese society and their peaceful coexistence in the backdrop of present pan Indian communal scenario. Further it is also discussed how the Nicobarese still maintain their cultural traditions despite religious conversions, which is crucial to project their ethnic identity. As such the present study adopted a holistic perspective to understand the practice of Christianity, Islam and fusion ofNicobarese distinct cultural practices. INTRODUCTION The term 'cultural pluralism' was first used by J .S. Furnivall (1939) in his book Netherlands India: A Study of Plural Economy. Major finding of his study is that the different cultural groups lived in one common area without much social interaction and opined that lack of integration may destabilize the social order.

Nicobarese是蒙古人种之一,是孟加拉湾从北向南分布的Nicobar群岛的永久定居者。他们以园艺为经济支柱,在语言、社会文化实践、经济、政治组织、万物有灵论信仰、恋物崇拜、物质文化和民间传说等方面拥有丰富的文化遗产。在殖民统治时期,基督教对尼科巴雷社会产生了巨大的影响,在饮食习惯、服饰样式、礼仪举止、宗教信仰等方面都开始了文化适应的过程。此后,来自米尼科伊、拉卡迪夫和马尔代夫的商人也将伊斯兰教传播到整个尼科巴,特别是中尼科巴。随着斯里兰卡泰米尔人和来自印度不同地区(主要是西孟加拉邦、安得拉邦和泰米尔纳德邦)的人的重新安置,尼科巴雷文化接触到了独特的文化传统。2004年的海啸夺去了许多人的生命,对他们的物质文化产生了巨大影响;他们中的许多人在新的地方得到了修复。结果,在尼科巴雷人中间发展了一种多元文化,因为他们中的大多数人皈依了基督教、伊斯兰教和其他宗教信仰。尽管如此,他们的万物有灵论信仰和文化传统仍然在各种仪式场合被广泛地实践。在此背景下,本文试图突出尼科巴雷社会的文化多元性及其在当前泛印第安社区情景下的和平共处。此外,还讨论了Nicobarese人如何在宗教皈依后仍然保持他们的文化传统,这对他们的种族认同至关重要。因此,本研究采用整体视角来理解基督教、伊斯兰教的实践以及尼科巴雷人独特文化实践的融合。“文化多元主义”一词最早是由j.s.s。弗尼瓦尔(1939)在《荷兰印度:多元经济研究》一书中写道。他的研究的主要发现是,不同的文化群体生活在一个共同的领域,没有太多的社会互动,并认为缺乏整合可能会破坏社会秩序。这种情况可能归因于•通信地址:印度中央邦Amarkantak 484 886英迪拉甘地国立部落大学(IGNTU)人类学系助理教授。《东方人类学家》,2016年第1期,第51-68页©OICSR, Allahabad通讯作者:dvprasada@gmail.com
