Abstract
In the early 1900s, the studies of Margaret Mead, a famous American anthropologist and student of Franz Boas, led to the opening of a new anthropological field specifically aimed at the study of childhood in a non-literate context with particular attention to inculturation processes. Cultural determinism versus biological determinism has represented the pilot idea of the analyzes not only of Mead but of the entire current of thought known as "Culture and Personality". The anthropologist, with a feminine sensitivity, attentive to the world of childhood and adolescence, has been able to combine the need for scientific accuracy of observations and surveys in the field, with an emotional involvement that make her researches unique.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
