Cross-cultural Dimensions in Conscious Thought

Narrative Themes in Comparative Context

By: George A. De Vos,Eric De Vos

Cross-Cultural Dimensions in Conscious Thought represents a major contribution, describing an empirically-validated method for analyzing the thematic content of narratives as a tool for comparative research in Anthropology, Cultural Psychology and Ethnopsychiatry. This second volume in the two volume series presents research conducted in Ireland, Kenya, Japan, the Philippines, Canada, the United States, India, Brazil and Venezuela. This research illustrates, for the cross-cultural researcher, the usefulness of projective techniques as a means for eliciting culturally relevant information from informants. It also exemplifies how the analysis of narrative themes, when it is related to other material obtained in field settings, can reveal meaningful within-group and between-group differences in human experience, and can help us make sense of conscious human experience across a wide range of sociocultural contexts.

Death Education and Research

Critical Perspectives

By: William George Warren

A critical review of research and reflection in the area of death, with special emphasis on death education. Thought-provoking, often controversial reviews of and reactions to the current general domain of death phenomena--specifically death education--are addressed in this book. The author, skeptical that we can do very much with the phenomenon of death and dying, especially in relation to our efforts at addressing it educationally, explores the philosophical, psychological, socio-cultural, and theoretical aspects and raises critical questions that will challenge proponents of death education. Both advocates and critics of death education in particular, and death research in general, will benefit from this intellectually stimulating volume that sounds a cautionary note, yet offers some positive suggestions for the future of death education. Professionals interested in any aspect of death education will be intrigued by this thorough examination of death education from several perspectives.

East India Patronage and the British State

The Scottish Elite and Politics in the Eighteenth Century

By: George McGilvary

The Act of Union in 1707 brought with it a new 'Great Britain'. How did the English bind the Scottish elites to the new British State, ensuring the stability of this new power in the face of possible Jacobite and international threat? From 1725 a patronage system existed in Britain enabling government ministries to use posts in the East India Company and its shipping to secure political majorities in Scotland and Westminster. Scots went to India as Company servants, ships' crews, soldiers and free-merchants, bringing back exceptional wealth to a land starved of money and providing for commercial and industrial advances throughout Great Britain. The importance of the system of patronage which enabled so many Scots to go to the East has not hitherto been recognised and cannot be overestimated. It bound the Scots with their English neighbours in business, political management and empire, with consequences going far beyond the eighteenth century.
