“…Expressions such as "we will take to the streets, as citizens and organizations", used in both manifestos, may reinforce the idea of a shared common identity, but are not necessary an invitation for other to join and participate. Although no categories of identification (e.g., environmentalists, left-wing) were explicitly mentioned (Eidson et al, 2017), by not presenting a clear invitation of others to participate, the manifestos seemed to be targeting those already concerned with climate change and environmental issues. Additionally, considering the predictive role of moral motivations in Study 1, it was expected that the manifestos would present some references to values, principles and moral convictions.…”

In this article, we focus on two demonstrations against climate change that took place in Portugal on the 12th of November 2016 and the 29th of April 2017. Two separate studies were conducted on the same protests. In Study 1, we conducted a quantitative study (N = 259), to examine the role of socio-demographics and socio-psychological predictors in predicting the actual protest. Participants were demonstrators (N = 158), as well as non-demonstrators (N = 101). Results indicated that moral motivation and identification as an environmentalist were the key variables in explaining actual protest. In Study 2, we conducted a framing analysis of the written manifestos (N = 2), to identify the core framing tasks which were used to inspire and legitimize the protests. The framing analysis suggests that the problems and paths for action were described by appealing to the interlinkage between the global and local dimensions of climate change, and that arguments of severity and urgency of the problem were the most salient. The implications of this research are discussed in relation to possible pathways for a more comprehensive understanding of the reasons why people engage in collective action in climate change related issues, and how these motives may relate to how social movements mobilize people for action.

“…207 Identification with kinship groups draws boundaries that separate "inside" and "outside" categories of solidarity and meaning-and, thus, establishes the basis for distinguishing between "us" and "them." 208 For example, villagers in our study contrasted an "inside" culture based on clan secrets with an "external" culture displayed to outsiders. 209 Collective identities compel members of tightly knit social groups (such as highland communities) to conceptualize and evaluate ideas in similar ways.…”

Legal Pluralism and the Struggle for Customary Law in the Vietnamese Highlands

For centuries, diverse groups of people living in the highlands of Southeast Asia have resisted lowland empires in China, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The interaction between lowlanders and highlanders has been described as “internal colonization”—a process involving the absorption or displacement of highland communities and customary law. This Article draws on an empirical study to explore whether the Vietnamese Government’s new “village covenant” (Hương ước) program is continuing internal colonization by transforming and displacing customary law in the Vietnamese Central Highlands. It uses a novel analytical framework—synthetized from legal pluralism and systems theory—to argue the state legal system and highland communities lack a shared conceptual grammar in which to identify common ground, reconcile differences, and converge. The Article closes with the conclusion that, although highland communities are resisting internal colonization, the forces of modernity are slowly changing the deeply held epistemic assumptions underlying customary law.

“…Modern anthropology stresses individual agency. Much of my own work on identification and alliances, together with colleagues (e.g., Eidson et al, in press; Schlee, 2008), focuses on agency and choice. People adopt, foreground, or deny one or the other collective identity in response to incentives.…”

Omaha Terminologies

Omaha kinship terminologies are distributed globally to the north and south of the belt of ancient “high cultures” which stretches from the Mediterranean Sea to East and Southeast Asia in the Old World and includes parts of Mesoamerica and the Andes in the New World. This article offers an explanation for this curious distribution of Omaha terminologies. In so doing, it reviews examples of Omaha terminologies in Central Asia and on the Horn of Africa, noting their defining characteristics and those other aspects of social organization with which they are associated. In conclusion, it is suggested that a continuum of lineage-based systems, including systems with Omaha terminologies, was split into two areas of concentration, one to the north and the other to the south, as ancient “high cultures,” based on intensive agricultural production, arose among them, reverting, in the process, to terminological systems with a cognatic bias like those of the Eskimo type that are associated with urbanization and statehood.
