The Metamorphoses of Kinship
With marriage in decline, divorce on the rise, the demise of the nuclear family, and the increase in marriages and adoptions among same-sex partners, it is clear that the structures of kinship in the modern West are in a state of flux. In The Metamorphoses of Kinship, the world-renowned anthropologist Maurice Godelier contextualizes these developments, surveying the accumulated experience of humanity with regard to such phenomena as the organization of lines of descent, sexuality and sexual prohibitions. In parallel, Godelier studies the evolution of Western conjugal and familial traditions from their roots in the nineteenth century to the present. The conclusion he draws is that it is never the case that a man and a woman are sufficient on their own to raise a child, and nowhere are relations of kinship or the family the keystone of society. Godelier argues that the changes of the last thirty years do not herald the disappearance or death agony of kinship, but rather its remarkable metamorphosis—one that, ironically, is bringing us closer to the “traditional” societies studied by ethnologists.
An Introduction to Two Theories of Social Anthropology
Louis Dumont, who died in 1998, was one of the most important figures in post-war French anthropology. He is well-known for his early work on India, which culminated in Homo Hierarchicus (1966; in English 1972, 1980), an anthropological account of the caste system. He later extended this work into a comparison of the values of Indian and western society in works like Essays on Individualism (1986) and German ideology: From France to Germany and Back (1994). He is also known for pioneering work on kinship in south India and more generally (for example Affinity as a Value, 1983). The current volume represents the fruits of this side of his activities and originated in as a series of lectures providing an account of the British and French schools for students.
La usucapión inmobiliaria
La Usucapión Inmobiliaria constituye un régimen completo sobre la prescripción ordinaria y extraordinaria de bienes inmuebles. La monografía que se presenta aborda un instituto clásico en el Derecho Civil, desde una perspectiva novedosa, que lo revitaliza, pues muchos litigios sobre bienes inmuebles se solventan a favor de la usucapión convenientemente alegada, provocando la renovación y actualización de la doctrina hasta ahora consolidada. La monografía analiza en profundidad el requisito del justo título, verdadera piedra angular de la usucapión inmobiliaria, con una clara relevancia en la usucapión ordinaria, pero también con excesiva influencia en la usucapión treintañal. ...
