	Like Belgian Chocolate for the Universal Mind. Interpersonal and Media Gossip from an Evolutionary Perspective. ...
		Herskovits (1947, cited in Gluckman, 1963) touched on the idea that gossip is related to the group morals, but Gluckman refers to James West (1945, cited in Gluckman, 1963) who was the first to make the connection between gossip and the maintenance of the unity of groups.
		Gluckman’s vision on gossip is part of the school of structural functionalism, whose point of departure is the idea of society as a holistic, integrated system.
		Referring to the work of Gluckman (1963), Smith et al comment on the bonding effect of gossip: “In addition, the right to gossip about particular individuals is afforded to group members, and outsiders are criticized or shunned for attempting to engage themselves” (Smith et al, 1999: 122).

	WARFARE, POLITICAL LEADERSHIP, AND STATE FORMATION (Mathieu Deflem)
		Gluckman (1960:166-168) supported this thesis and argues that Zulu population density was relatively low at 3.5 per square mile.
		Gluckman asserts that the transformations in the Zulu political system were substantial but not radical: substantial because of the military reorganization and the unification of different chiefdoms through aggregative warfare; but not radical because of the limitations in technology and economy prohibiting further political developments.
		In line with Gluckman’s perspective of the limited structural changes in the Case of Zulu political developments, I contend that the kingdom was transforming into an indigenous African state, yet lacked the complexity and functional differentiation that would have been necessary to have opposed the European overthrow.

	Networks: Total and Partial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		A central figure at Manchester was Max Gluckman, who combined an interest in complex African societies with a concern to develop a structural approach which recognized the important part played by conflict and power in both the maintenance and the transformation of social structures.
		For Gluckman, conflict and power were integral elements of any social structure, and his analyses stressed the everpresent activities of negotiation, bargaining and coercion in the production of social integration.
		Gluckman actively encouraged his colleagues and students who were undertaking investigations of small-scale interpersonal communities to pursue these themes.

	CooberPedy - underground in Australia
		Besides "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," Coober Pedy’s credits include Wim Wenders’ "Until the End of the World." Perhaps most noteworthy is "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," not for winning an Oscar, but because it’s the first film to portray Coober Pedy as anything other than a nuclear strike zone.
		Ron Gluckman is an American reporter who is based in Hong Kong, roaming around the wild parts of Asia for a number of publications, including the Wall Street Journal, which ran this piece in the summer of 1995.
		Mr Gluckman has a warm spot for wacky tales and odd characters, a quirk that dates to his reporting days in the unconventional Alaskan Bush.

		In Gluckman’s (1965) description of the methods of the members of the Manchester School, premonitions of Turner's emphasis on ritual as a cultural agent are apparent:
		Under Gluckman's tutelage Turner moved further away from the static notion of structural-functionalism and focused more and more on ritual as a social process.
		Turner adapted Gluckman's ideas of processional change to the study of ritual and developed his entire career around the concepts he formulated from that synthesis.

	The University of Manchester - School of Arts Histories & Cultures
		In the spring of 1955, Max Gluckman, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Manchester, delivered a series of lectures on the Third Programme entitled Custom and Conflict in Africa; his book of that name came out later in the year.
		There was a paradoxical 'peace in the feud', Gluckman argued--centripetal forces pulling against the centrifugal effects of vengeance and violence.
		Gluckman explicitly sought to attract the attention of historians of medieval Europe, and his challenge was met with a ready response from his Manchester colleague, Michael Wallace-Hadrill.

		Max Gluckman is one who tried to make Durkeim’s theory more specific.
		The first part of Gluckman’s theory is that the identity of a person in society is the same as the ritual.
		Gluckman says this theory of Ritual of Social Relations happens in multiplex social relations.

		An appreciation of human randomness and its ramifications, it is concluded, may serve as the basis not only of explanation but also a sense of moral value and beauty in anthropological analysis.
		In 1964, in an influential collaboration, anthropologist Max Gluckman and economist Ely Devons co-wrote sections of a book which they titled, Closed Systems and Open Minds: The Limits of Naivety in Social Anthropology.
		Their topic was anthropological method; more precisely, given the complexity of human social reality, of that interaction between individuals within a socio-cultural milieu which anthropology sets out to investigate, their topic was concerned with how the investigator should both open himself or herself up to this complexity and close off a manageable portion for study.

	The Heroic Age:Defining the Feud in Beowulf
		Hill relies on Max Gluckman's notion of "peace in the feud," formulated by observation of the way feud works in various African tribal societies: "by this he means that in long-settled areas, with much intermarriage between groups as well as close working arrangements between neighbors.
		This limits the taste for prosecuting feuds and increases pressure for and the likelihood of peaceful settlements that 'attempt to reconcile parties in permanent relationships'" (1995: 30).
		Gluckman's ideas have also appealed to other researchers working on medieval Germanic culture, such as Miller 1984, 1990; and Wallace-Hadrill 1982.

		Max led the way to the less overtly hegemonic society that postwar Britain became, once the Beatles completed the job of synthesizing high and low cultures and BBC announcers were allowed to sport provincial accents.

	BERGHAHN BOOKS
		Pioneered by Max Gluckman to demonstrate the way in which social practice and structure together constitute and are themselves constituted by the situational flow of social life, the extended case method became diagnostic of the Manchester School of Social Anthropology.
		Anticipating practice theory, and implicitly politically charged, it was developed as a tool to bring into account what orthodox structural functionalism was ill-equipped to address, namely, problems such as change, conflict, deviance, and individual choice.
		Apart from the reprinted pieces by Gluckman and Mitchell, all the contributions have been written for this volume.

		From 1968 to 1977, he was Professor of Anthropology and Social Thought at the University of Chicago, and then until the time of his death he was William R. Kenan Professor of Anthropology and Religion at the University of Virginia.
		He was a leading proponent of the "case study" approach in ethnographic research and is noted for his scrupulous attention to ethnographic detail.
		Although Turner considered his approach to be a radical departure from his functionalist contemporaries (like Gluckman), he shared much with functional theorists of his day, including a focus on ritual and ceremonial performance in the perpetuation of society.

	Culture and Public Action: Further Reading
		Geertz's symbolic anthropology (often termed "semiotic approach") was influenced by Max Weber and Talcott Parson.
		Coming out of the Manchester school as a student of Max Gluckman, Turner's interests focused on the ways in which societies coped with internal contradiction and disharmony.
		"Believing, with Max Weber, that man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himslef has spun, I take cultures to be those webs, and the analysis of it to be therefore not an experimental science in search of law but an interpretive one in search of meaning."(1973:5)

		We can glean something of their field methods from the book itself, which demonstrates that they collected extensive genealogies, mapped villages (hut diagrams), took censuses, observed rituals and formal meetings, and attended to narratives of crisis and sequences of conflict.
		Note, too, that this ethnographic framework was stimulated by theoretical ambitions as well as the field data; i.e., ethnography always lies at the intersection of the two.
