Sobre El Autor
Bronislaw Malinowski, a Polish-born British anthropologist, was a major force in transforming nineteenth-century speculative anthropology into an observation-based science of humanity. His major interest was in the study of culture as a universal phenomenon and in the development of fieldwork mostrar más techniques that would both describe one culture adequately and, at the same, time make systematic cross-cultural comparisons possible. He is considered to be the founder of the functional approach in the social sciences which involves studying not just what a cultural trait appears to be, but what it actually does for the functioning of society. Although he carried out extensive fieldwork in a number of cultures, he is most famous for his research among the Trobrianders, who live on a small island off the coast of New Guinea.

Malinowski's meticulous and immersive approach to ethnography is evident throughout the volume. He lived among the Trobriand Islanders for an extended period, allowing him to gain the trust of the community and gain intimate access to their daily lives. This extensive fieldwork provided the foundation for his comprehensive analysis.
One of the most striking aspects of "The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia" is the way Malinowski goes beyond mere observation and description. He skillfully contextualizes the sexual practices within the broader framework of Trobriand culture, highlighting the social, economic, and psychological factors that influence their behaviors. This holistic approach sets the work apart as a remarkable contribution to the field of anthropology.
Malinowski's writing is clear and engaging, making even complex cultural concepts and practices accessible to the reader. His keen observations and detailed descriptions offer a vivid picture of the Trobriand Islanders' world, allowing readers to understand their sexual customs and beliefs with depth and nuance.
The work is not without its critics, as some have raised concerns about the potential for ethnocentrism and the representation of indigenous cultures. However, it's important to remember that Malinowski's study was groundbreaking for its time and marked a significant shift in how anthropologists approached fieldwork and cultural understanding. The volume remains an invaluable resource for scholars in anthropology and related fields.
In conclusion, "The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia" is a classic work in the field of anthropology that has withstood the test of time. Bronislaw Malinowski's immersive research, contextual analysis, and accessible writing style make it a foundational text for anyone interested in the study of culture and human societies. While it must be approached with an understanding of the historical and cultural context in which it was written, this volume remains a vital resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the intricate cultural tapestry of the Trobriand Islanders.… (más)
