Reflection Of Hopi Culture In Hopi Folk Tales, Constance B. Sears

Anthropology ETDs

It has been well established that the cultural features of a society are reflected in its folk tales. Boas first presented his views on the cultural significance of folk tales in a series of papers on North American Indian mythology (Boas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), and he published detailed demonstrations of the possibility of reconstructing the culture of a tribe from its mythology, using Tsimshian (Boas 4) and Kwakiutl (Boas 7) material. His general conclusion is that... in the tales of a people those incidents of everyday life that are of importance to them will appear …

Indigenous Philosophy In The Valley Of Mexico, John F. Newcomer

Philosophy ETDs

This study has been undertaken in the hope of helping to open new avenues of research in both philosophy and anthropology, avenues that have heretofore been largely overlooked. It has used as an example the pre-Conquest culture-complex of the Valley of Mexico. It is not intended to be an exhaustive exposition of every aspect of that complex, for that would take it out of the realm of philosophy and too far into that of anthropology. It is rather an examination of the salient features of Aztec culture in a philosophical light. It begins with a discussion of primitive philosophy in …

Norwegian Projects

In this confidential note, Schwalm discusses a book by German professor Martin Gerlach titled "Norwegian History".

It is noted that the book fills a missing gap, that of the German perspective on Norwegian history, and would therefore sell well and be considered the official position of German authorities, due to the regime's reputation for censorship. The letter concludes with a three point …
