Научни размишления върху родството – за превръщането на етнографското прозрение в аксиома
Thinking scientifically about kinship – the case for axiomatising ethnographic insight

Summary/Abstract: Progress in kinship anthropology has been slowed both by real difficulties in analysing complex data and by poor communication between competing schools of thought. Formulating ethnographically-based insights as axioms should make it possible to explore their implications more thoroughly, and to test them more systematically. It may also facilitate comparisons with theoretical and empirical results obtained by evolutionary anthropologists – with potential benefits for anthropology as a whole.
