  1. Roasting will be more frequent in exo-cannibalism than in endo-cannibalism (63).Shankman, Paul - Le roti et le bouilli: levi-strauss' theory of cannibalism, 1969 - 1 Variables

    This article empirically examines Levi-Strauss’ (1966) theory on cannibalism, that “an analysis of cooking [and by extension cannibalism] as a language will reveal certain structural oppositions in society” (54). Theoretical and methodological weaknesses indicate cooking may not be analogous to language and therefore linguistic theory is not applicable for the analysis of cannibalism.

  2. ". . . in the avunculate . . . the relation between maternal uncle and nephew is to the relation between brother and sister as the relation between father and son is to that between husband and wife". [Attitudes are either free and familiar or hostile and reserved] (99, 100)Ryder, James W. - The avunculate: a cross-cultural critique of Claude Levi-Strauss, 1970 - 5 Variables

    The authors test Levi-Strauss' theory of the avunculate, a special relationship between a mother's brother and his sister's son. They critique the theory on the grounds that many societies have a special relationship that could be called the avunculate but lack the other relationships predicted by Levi-Strauss.

  3. ". . . in Crow-Omaha systems a man is prohibited from marrying into the line of either of his cross-cousins" (216)Kobben, A. J. F. - Levi-Strauss and empirical inquiry, 1974 - 2 Variables

    This paper tests some of Levi-Strauss's pronouncements on Crow-Omaha kinship systems cross-culturally. The author tests the relationships between Crow-Omaha and Hawaiian kinship systems and cross-cousin marriage. Results suggest that both kinship systems will prohibit cross-cousin marriage.

    Heider's theory of cognitive balance is applied to Levi-Strauss' discussion of the sentiment relations existing among four kin roles.

  7. Cooking by women is associated with cooking by children of both genders (89)Bradley, Candice - Women's Power, Children's Labor, 1993 - 2 Variables

    This article investigates the sexual division of labor between adults and children. Data analysis suggests that children usually perform tasks appropriate for an adult of the same gender, but boys will often perform women’s tasks while girls generally do not perform men’s tasks. Thus, women tend to benefit more from children’s labor.

  8. The use of stone boiling will be associated with geographic location, temperature, and rainfall (241-2).Nelson, Kit - Environment, cooking strategies and containers, 2010 - 3 Variables

    This article examines cooking strategies and cooking containers cross-culturally. Focusing on stone boiling and direct fire cooking, the authors find that geographic location and climate (particularly temperature, rainfall, and evapotranspiration) will be associated with cooking strategy. Container fabric type was also examined, and was found to be associated with cooking strategy, climatic variables, and subsistence type.

  10. "It was predicted that across societies sex relations between betrothed persons are more restricted than before betrothal where large amounts of wealth are transferred and less restricted where wealth transfer is minimal" (327)Rosenblatt, Paul C. - Wealth transfer and restrictions on sexual relations during betrothal, 1969 - 2 Variables

    Authors use an exhange theory perspective to explain differences in sex restrictions during betrothal. Results indicate a positive association between the amount of wealth transferred and sex restrictions during betrothal.
