BRONISLAW MALINOWSKI
(1884 鈥 1942)
Bronislaw Malinowski has been described as the father of modern anthropology.听听
Born in Poland, the British anthropologist pioneered the study of anthropology as a social science.听 In his work and teaching, he sought to marry fact with theory.听 His approach, based on functionalism and culture exercised a wide and profound influence not just on anthropology, but on social science as a whole.
Malinowski most lasting theoretical observation and perhaps his most basic one is that cultures are not collections of isolated traits, but are interconnected wholes.
Laurie Taylor looks at the legacy of a man who revolutionized social anthropology in Britain with the help of Adam Kuper, Professor of Anthropology at Brunel University and Nigel Barley, Social Anthropologist, formerly of the British Museum鈥檚 Department of Ethnography.
