Narration To Books The Silent Language

Antropologo americano. Nasce nel 1914 a Webster Groves (Missouri), studia nelle Università di Denver e dell’Arizona (master), conseguendo poi il dottorato alla Columbia University di New York (1942). Dal 1942 al 1946 è arruolato nell’esercito, prima sul fronte europeo poi nel Pacifico. Al ritorno si stabilisce a Santa Fe, Nuovo Messico. Impegnato a osservare sul campo gli indiani Navajo, Hopi e Trukesi, gli ispano-americani di Nuovo Messico e America latina, gli arabi del Mediterraneo e gli iraniani, il suo approccio professionale non è in linea con le tradizioni dell’antropologia classica. Egli non approfondisce alcuna cultura in particolare e, utilizzando estensivamente la linguistica, acquista notorietà soprattutto per le sue ricerche e le sue pubblicazioni concernenti la ‘comunicazione interculturale’ e la ‘prossemica’ che preferisce rivolgere non tanto agli addetti ai lavori quanto al più vasto pubblico. Responsabile dei programmi di formazione nel Foreign Service Institute agli inizi degli anni Cinquanta, introduce i diplomatici alle culture straniere con una metodologia che media tra esempi concreti e generalizzazioni strutturali. Ne emerge un’antropologia insieme viva e classica che ritroviamo, poi, in tutte le sue opere.

Assess Regarding Books The Silent Language

A book that examines how unwritten rules in different countries affect its citizens. In America, an informal country with only a few ceremonies, ones that make it hard to know what is right or wrong, citizens may end up breaking the law by accident.

Some interesting points and anecdotes made, but it seems to suffer from that disease of the mid-20th-century, where everything has to be made into a science, very technically analyzed, stages and pieces name, a system of parts derived. If there is such a thing, sure, but any particular theory that points out preferred vocabulary terms and say, 'This complex phenomena is made by some combination of these four principles', well. To be fair, he is very clear about how this is just a rough outline,

Can get very technical. I admire the writer for putting out such a well-written book about technicalities of Culture. His consistent crediting to his colleagues and co-authors gave it very humble touch. Sets-Isolates-Patterns in 3 levels of integration informal-formal-technical stems out of Primary Messaging Systems used in communication between organisms. Communication lens used to view and explain the culture was used profoundly with great diligence and attention to detail. I already started

Though this book played an important role in identifying supra-linguistic aspects of communication, Halls methodology was developed within a context of American domination. Most of his evidence is anecdotal, and most of the anecdotes occur in situations where Americans are in power and "confused" by their inability to communicate with or control the behavior of people in other countries. His examples include diplomat to foreign citizen, teacher to foreign student, military to foreign government,

This book works well as an introduction to cultural anthropology, or social science in general. Hall is a master of the ideas and subjects he covers, tying them together with wit and style. I was surprised to come across this by accident after years of studying social science, as I have not found a better writer for the material. Well written and straight forward. This should be a standard text for all social science students, especially useful as an introduction. The book covers several aspects

16 - good story of cross-cultural confusion17- cultures have an appropriate "lead time" - how much advance notice you must give about something to plan ahead. 35 - there are no basic, elemental units for culture and therefore it is impossible to teach culture the way you teach language. Some of this is because culture is a deep, unconscious thing.39 - "culture hides much more than it reveals, and strangely enough what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants.
