	Bronislaw Malinowski
		Bronislaw Malinowski was born in Krakow, Poland on April 7, 1884 to Lucyan and Jozefa Malinowski.
		Malinowski also discovered evidence to discredit Sigmund Freud’s theory of the Oedipus Complex in the lives of the Trobianders, by proving that individual psychology depends on cultural context.
		One of Malinowski's major achievements was a satisfactory integration of cultural theory with psychological science.

		Malinowski further describes that the head of the team in a canoe has first of all the obligation to finance the building of the canoe when an old one is worn out he has to maintain it in good shape with the help his crew.
		Again, Malinowski observes that on the death of her husband a widow is obligated to wail and weep in a ceremony, because the strength of her grief affords direct satisfaction to the deceased man's brothers and maternal relatives.

	The Infidels - Bronislaw Malinowski
		Bronislaw Kasper Malinowski was a Polish anthropologist widely considered to be one of the most important anthropologists of the twentieth century because of his pioneering work on ethnographic fieldwork, the study of reciprocity, and his detailed contribution to the study of Melanesia.
		Malinowski taught intermittently in the United States, and when World War II broke out during one of these trips he remained in the country, taking up a position at Yale University, where he remained until his death.
		Malinowski emphasized the importance of detailed participant observation and argued that anthropologists must have daily contact with their informants if they were to adequately record the "imponderabilia of everyday life" that were so important to understanding a different culture.

		Malinowski often employed a psychoanalytic approach in his studies, particularly relating to sexuality, and even Freud who was caught up in the project of systematic science believed that analyst and client were in a state of dynamic tension, best manifested through the process of transference.

		Bronislaw Kasper Malinowski (1884-1942) was a student at the London School of Economics from 1910-16.
		Malinowski’s understanding of functionalism was in large part derived from a system of balanced reciprocity that he observed while conducting fieldwork.
		Malinowski reasoned that the expense and preoccupation with Kula trade must be functional in nature and most likely served to solve fundamental spatial problems in the Islander’s lives.

	[Elisabeth Golub] Bronislaw Malinowski at yokim.net
		Malinowski was a psychological functionalist—he was specifically interested in how social institutions met the psychical and psychological needs of society.
		Central to Malinowski’s notion of culture is the relationship between the individual and the group.
		Second, Malinowski contended that the ethnographer must “put himself in good conditions of work.” This meant “cutting oneself off from the company of other white men, and remaining in as close contact with the natives as possible” (Malinowski 1984: 6).

	Bronislaw Malinowski
		British anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski is remembered as the father of the functionalist school of anthropology as well as for his role in developing the methods and the primacy of anthropological fieldwork.
		Malinowski’s ideas and methodologies came to be widely embraced by the Boasian influenced school of American Anthropology, making him one of the most influential anthropologists of the 20th century.
		To Malinowski, it mattered not that such rituals had no basis in science (that they would not actually calm waves or ensure a worthwhile catch); what mattered was that they empowered the islanders to do what needed to be done — in a situation where events were beyond their material control.

	Bronislaw Malinowski
		As an anthropologist, Malinowski goes from the bottom up, and from psyche to culture, whereas for Durkheim causality is top down or the social first (collective conscience) and the psychological aspects are effects more than cause, and basically details of social facts (see Rapport, Overing, 2000, 396).
		Malinowski's work was the break from evolutionary approaches best found in sociology (society goes through stages of development drawing on an internal logic) and historical diffusionist approaches best found in ethnography (development moved geographically outwards from more developed centres).
		Malinowski himself questioned his method and validity of data - he was always trying to find ways to collect and categorise material, documents and objects as well as notes from participant-observations.

		In 1922 (Argonauts of the Western Pacific) Malinowski wrote of the kula operating in the region of the Trobriand Islands.
		Although Malinowski was the proponent of grasping and presenting the point of view of the native it is surprising to read Malinowski on "pure gifts" (page 178): "The natives undoubtedly would not think of free gifts as forming one class, as being all of the same nature."
		Bronislaw Malinowski was trained in the physical sciences and received a Ph.D. in physics and mathematics.

		Malinowski's own theoretical contribution was referred to as functionalism - as opposed to the structural functionalism of Radcliffe-Brown.
		But when Radcliffe-Brown returned to Great Britain in 1937 and Malinowski left for the United States the year after, his influence was largely eclipsed, except at the London School of Economics, where his student Raymond Firth continued the functionalist tradition.
		In 1967, Malinowski's private diaries from the field were published under the title, A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term.

	Viewing Notes \| Bronislaw Malinowski: Off the Verandah
		Malinowski was funded early on to conduct fieldwork in Melanesia.
		Malinowski emerges in the documentary as a larger-than-life character: a "womanizer" who is "egotistical," "controversial," "brilliant," and "dazzling", who not only was able to probe deeper into the "life of the so-called savage" than anyone before, but would then teach an entire generation of anthropologists on his methods of ethnographic field work.
		However, Malinowski took this process one step further by making, what the narrator of the film calls, a move "from the armchair out on to the verandah" thus developing the idea of the participant observer who would live amongst the people he was studying.

	Writing Identity into Space: Ethnography, Autobiography, and Space in Bronislaw Malinowski's A Diary in the Strict ...
		Malinowski's diary of around nineteen months of field research conducted in New Guinea between September 1914 and July 1918, with breaks in Australia, A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term, is a compelling, disturbing, and acutely raw read even for the non-anthropologist.
		As Valetta Malinowski candidly admits in her preface: "In correcting the proofs I have tried to assure the closest possible adherence to Malinowksi's personal use of English words." Further, this usage reflects a style of English that in "the latter part of his life he expressed himself so freely" (Malinowski 1967: viii).
		Malinowski recorded his own disorientation: "Once again my propensity for admiring marvellous landscapes (sometimes imaginary) played a trick on me," and acknowledging the pressure of such deceptions on his own conception of self feels he is "playing a false role" (Malinowksi 1967: 149).

	FUNCTIONALISM
		This view of the functional in folklore is parallel to Bronislaw Malinowski's position that everything in human life must have a function.
		The first posits that it is the needs of the psychobiological human entity which is at center stage, the second is a functioning of its components or structures, and the third approach to functionalism posits social cohesion through the commonality of shared mental structures of the "conscience collective".
		The first of these is represented by the work of Bronislaw Malinowski, the second by the writings of Reginald Radcliffe-Brown, and the third by writings of Emile Durkheim and Marcel Mauss.
