CROCKER, William Henry
  • A method for deriving themes as applied to Canela Indian festival materiais. Ann Arbor 1962, viii, 299 pp. produzidas com microfilme. Bibliografia.

Esta tese de doutoramento aceita pela Universidade de Wisconsin, embora essencialmente metodológica, representa contribuição importante à Etnologia Brasileira, pois exemplifica com material colhido numa tribo gê. Aspectos da iniciação entre os Canela servem para o estudo de "temas" sendo que "A theme was defined as a cultural regularity which has been shown to be essential to the operation of a cultural component, whereas a cultural regularity shown to be essential to the operation of a social complex on a lower level of abstraction than a cultural component, was defined as being a significant regularity" (p. 43). O capítulo III intitulado "Ethnography" (pp. 90-147) focaliza com referência a êsses índios nordestinos os seguintes assuntos: "The Environmental Setting; Kinship Structure and Roles; Social Organization and Socialization; Life Cycles; Values, Roles, and Status; World View and Personality; Post-Conquest History; Present Acculturative Picture."
Cf. o comentário de Maria Helena C. de Figueiredo Steiner na Revista do Museu Paulista, N. S., XV, São Paulo 1964, pp. 405-407.
