Topic: Tylor


  
  Edward Burnett Tylor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Edward Burnett Tylor (October 2, 1832–January 2, 1917), the English anthropologist, was born at Camberwell, London, the son of Joseph Tylor and Harriet Skipper.
Alfred Tylor, the geologist, was an elder brother.
Tylor's association with Christy greatly stimulated his awakening interest in anthropology, and his visit to Mexico, with its rich prehistoric remains, led him to make a systematic study of the science.

 The Irresponsible Captain Tylor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a distant, highly technological future, Tylor, the title character, is a mysterious young man without a real purpose in life, a state of mind that is very hard to determine, and a knack for accidentally getting out of near-death situations with a childishly cavalier attitude.
Tylor stumbles his way into the space navy, and soon gains command of a destroyer, to the astonishment of his lieutenant, Yamamoto.
Yamamoto sees Tylor for what he is, a bumbling fool, but is torn between the unwritten soldier's code of supporting and obeying your superior officer, and telling the UPSF brass what is REALLY going on.

 Edward Tylor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Sir Edward Burnett Tylor, an English Anthropologist, was born on October 2, 1832 in London, England.
Early in 1858, Tylor was married to a girl by the name of Anna Fox, daughter of Sylvanus Fox of Wellington in Somerset.
In 1883, Tylor became the head of the University Museum at Oxford and was a Professor of Anthropology from 1896 until 1909.

 Social Evolutionism
Tylor maintained that culture evolved from the simple to the complex, and that all societies passed through the three basic stages of development suggested by Montesquieu: from savagery through barbarism to civilization.
Tylor believed that there was a kind of psychic unity among all peoples that explained parallel evolutionary sequences in different cultural traditions.
Tylor formulated a definition of culture: “Culture or civilization is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society,” and also developed the idea of survivals.

 Department of Religious Studies
Edward Burnett Tylor, one of the founders the modern academic discipline of Anthropology, belongs to a generation of academics known as the Intellectualists which includes Müller, Spencer, and Frazer, all of who helped pave the way for the modern academic study of religion.
In 1875, Tylor received an honorary doctorate from Oxford University where he was keeper of the Oxford University Museum (1883) and Britain's first (indeed, the first in the English-speaking world) Professor of Anthropology (1896), until his retirement in 1909.
The goal of anthropological study, for Tylor, was to develop a framework in which the evolution of culture could be explained and the nature of its origins understood.

 BookRags: Edward Burnett Tylor, Sir Biography
In 1883 Tylor became keeper of the University Museum at Oxford, where he later lectured on anthropological subjects, and in 1896 the first chair of anthropology in the English-speaking world was created for him at Oxford, a post he held until his retirement in 1909.
Tylor is generally credited with being the most influential expositor of the concept of animism (the idea that primitive men endow all things with vital supernatural powers) and the concept of survivals (that irrational, superannuated practices and beliefs continue past their period of usefulness).
Tylor's early career showed an emphasis on progressive evolution, but this was later modified to give attention to the diffusion of cultural traits from society to society.

 AAW: The Irresponsible Captain Tylor Review
Not even Tylor is safe, but Yamamoto in particular is a slave to the plot--he repeatedly does an about-face on his changes of heart so that he can play the holdout and have another dramatic change of heart.
Tylor himself, of course, is the dead opposite--his "take it easy, do what you like, be nice and things will work out" mindset is completely at odds with old-school military discipline, and also happens to fly in the face of classic Japanese values.
Since Tylor is, of course, the hero of the story, you could take that to mean that the purpose of the whole series is to poke fun at the antiquated nature of the military culture and good-guys/bad guys mentality that still holds a dominant place in politics.

 Edward Tylor
English anthropologist, born at Camberwell, London, on the 2nd of October 1832, the son of Joseph Tylor, a brassfounder.
Tylor's treatment of animism was particularly elaborate, and he first determined the limits of that province of anthropology intending it to include "the general doctrine of souls, and other spiritual beings." In 1881 Tylor published a smaller and more popular handbook on Anthropology.
In 1871 he was elected F.R.S., and in 1875 received the honorary degree of D.C.L. from the university of Oxford.

Tylor is an officer of the UPSF, which is on the verge of going to war with an alien race known as Raalgon.
Tylor and his crew become the wildcard in the conflict since Tylor's blind luck and carefree approach makes his next move impossible to predict for both the UPSF and the Raalgon.
What's funny is how Tylor gets things done most effectively without meaning to (at least that's how it seems) and how all the other characters go about busting their chops in order to get similar results.

Tylor, however, takes this tried and true formula and throws a small twist into it: the ships captain, Tylor, while unconventional, is incredibly lazy.
Tylor’s musical score ranges from the dramatic to the drunken, and serves to set the mood for each scene.
I heartily disliked Tylor’s voice actor in the beginning, but he seemed to warm to the role as the series went on.

 EX: Review - Anime
Tylor explains to the UPSF recruitment officer that in the military you get free food, a free uniform and other daily necessities, you don't have to pay rent and when you retire you get to live off your pension.
Unfortunately for Tylor, just as he joins the military, hostilities renew between the UPSF and the Raalgon Empire, but luckily for Tylor he is nowhere near the battle lines because he is assigned to a comfy desk job in the Pension Department.
Tylor, not one to be daunted from his job by something as trivial as intergalactic terrorism, makes his way past the UPSF military forces surrounding the Hanner residence and he gets himself taken hostage once inside.

Tylor came from nowhere to lead the crew of the Soyokaze and even the whole of the UPSF, changing the hearts and minds of all he touched, but now he seeks to return to that anonymity.
In Tylor there is found a sort of naiveté that immediately strikes the viewer as complacency or even apathy to the very real dangers around he and his crew.

Tylor begins his military career by winning over the recruiting officer, who is frankly amazed and (initially) irritated by Tylor's admission that he's only joining up in order to live an easy life.
Tylor informs him, to his stupefaction, that when Tylor rises to the rank of fleet admiral, he'll write his memoirs and thank the insightful recruiter who originally recognized his talent.
Tylor, predictably, is far too laid-back to be a good captain, at least by military standards.
