Facts on Anthropology

http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/anth370/gloss.html

F

fact - a description of a bit or piece of some domain of inquiry.

family - families are universal in cultures, but their definition and dynamics are changing. A very inclusive definition is two or more people who define themselves as a family. Also see "extended family," "nuclear family," U.S. Census Bureau definitions.

fields of anthropology - physical, linguistics, sociocultural, and archaeology. Note that sociocultural anthropology and ethnology are closely related fields of study.

fieldwork - living among a group of people for the purpose of learning about their culture.

fissioning - a Yanomamo settlement splits due to internal conflict with one group moving away to form a new village.

folk art - art produced by people not professionally identified as artists.

foragers - getting food by collecting or hunting what is naturally available. The term used to refer to the subsistence patterns of cultures different from our own continually changes as our values change. Initially, these groups were called "primitives." This term came to be viewed as too ethnocentric since it emphasized they were less developed than "modern" cultures. The term "hunters and gatherers" has been replaced by foragers because of the gender associations with male hunters and female gatherers. Since !Kung women produce 85% of the food by volume, is it appropriate to call them a hunting and gathering society?

funk - an earthy, unsophisticated style and feeling, or the style and feelings of blues.

fusion - blending traits from two different cultures to form a new trait. The cargo is a fusion of Mayan and Catholic religious elements. Also called syncretism.

Real World Anthropology

Real World Anthropology
• Anthropologists conduct academic and applied research as a means to understand individual
human lives within larger socio-political contexts and to ameliorate human problems. Although
traditionally archaeologists made their careers within academia, over half of new Anthropology
PhDs in the US are employed in non-academic settings (government, non-governmental
organizations, business firms). Anthropologists engage many different publics, including those in
the private sector.
• Anthropologists, both academic and applied, are engaging many contemporary issues that have
global, national, and community implications for policy-making and advocacy for individuals and
groups. The following few examples illustrate the interconnectedness of these issues and the
need for the holistic, interdisciplinary, macro-micro, and long-term perspectives of Anthropology
to successfully tackle them:
o Environmental Change: Ecological Sustainability, Global Warming, Water and Land
Resources, Biodiversity, Anthropogenic Landscapes
o Health and Nutrition: Infectious Disease (e.g., HIV/AIDs), Health Care Policy,
Resource Depletion and Famine, Bio-medicine, Alternative Medical Practices,
Impediments (age, gender, race, class) to Health Care Access
o Globalization: Global Economies, Sovereignty, Transnationalism, Development,
