Anthropological Quarterly, also known as AQ, is a peer-reviewed journal published by the George Washington University Institute for Ethnographic Research. AQ was founded in 1921 by the Catholic University of America and was published from 1921 to 1953 under the name Primitive Man. While continuing to publish outstanding, original, data-driven articles that advance ethnography and anthropological theory, AQ also asks intellectuals to contribute to on-going public debates relevant to contemporary experiences and public debates. Topics include: war, racism, poverty, nationalism, globalization, human rights, and the social, legal, and ethical implications of new genetic technologies. Essays on such timely topics are published in our "Social Thought and Commentary" section.

The paper describes political process among the Beaver Indians of northeastern British Columbia, and analyzes the medicine fight as a style of discourse that defines the roles assumed in Beaver competition for the validation of supernatural power. It suggests that the medicine fight is related to the ecological imperatives that make success in hunting unpredictable and relatively infrequent: conditions opting for a projection of causation onto others rather than acceptance of guilt. It concludes that complementary theories of explanation are held by members of the same society and that the theory an individual will use is dependent on the needs of the political role he is playing. The roles played are in turn determined by an individual's success or failure relative to others; and success or failure is unpredictable and subject to chance.Condition: Spine and edges sunned, light edge wear, corners bumped, rubbed and creased else very good., American Anthropological Association, 1968, 3, 15 pages with tables and cited references.

In Plastic Glasses and Church Fathers, Kronenfeld offers a theory that explains both the usefulness of language's variability of reference and the mechanisms which enable us to understand each other in spite of the variability. David Kronenfeld's theory, rooted in the tradition of ethnoscience (or cognitive anthropology), accomplishes three things. First, it distinguishes prototypic referents from extended referents. Second, it describes the various bases of semantic extensions. Finally it details how we use the situational context of usage, the linguistic context of opposition and inclusion, and the conceptual context of knowledge about the world to interpret communicative events.
