Title "Subsistence Production, War, and Leadership in New Guinea (and Beyond): The Roots of Social Inequality?”" by Paul Roscoe (The University of Maine).

 

Abstract:

The polities that populated New Guinea at the time of European contact offer a useful theatre for probing the roots of social inequality, in particular political inequality. They embraced a variety of subsistence regimes, from hunting and gathering through horticulture to agriculture; they were all either episodically or permanently at war with at least one of their neighbours; and they displayed diverse leadership forms from egalitarian bands through Great-Men and Big-Men communities to petty chiefdoms. An analysis of polities from more than a hundred New Guinea language groups indicates that subsistence productivity and war were important in determining this political variability and in driving the development of gendered leadership and patriarchy. As a brief coda, the results of this analysis are extended to understanding the emergence and development of political centralization in northern and central coastal Peru.

Social Inequalities Forum

Nov 29, 2022 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM

Room 123, Leibnizstr. 3, 24118 Kiel

Pawel Cembrzynski: "Inequality in medieval towns and how to find it."

Abstract:

A medieval town was inhabited by a whole spectrum of people with a different social backgrounds like patricians, artisans, clergy, noble and poor. It was characterised by different levels of inequality of wealth and status. This talk will show the possibilities of tracing such inequality in medieval towns.

A common way to study wealth inequality is through tax registers, property value and wages. Additionally, sociotopographic approach studies the spatial distribution of wealth and property values in a town. Nevertheless, the perspective given by written records has specific flows as it concerns mostly well-situated upper classes of urban society. The question is if a more nuanced picture of inequality can be seen through the material culture and structure of the built environment. Medieval urban archaeology approaches the issue of inequality, looking mainly at luxury and quality of life. Luxurious objects are those that are known to be expensive, rare or hard to get. Such artefacts need to be analysed within the local context. The quality and quantity of material culture found on urban plots can show the inhabitants' potential wealth and status. The more diversified this culture is, the more wealthy the owners might be. The study of quality of life in medieval archaeology goes a step further. It looks not only at portable artefacts but also at the quality of housing (construction, material, heating, light, decoration etc.), access to water supply and waste disposal as well localisation. Despite this positivistic view, the biggest challenge is understanding the depositional and post-depositional processes. The reason why artefacts ended in an archaeological context and not always clear and can blur our understanding of medieval inequality.

Social Inequalities Forum: "An introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)" (by Dr. Judith Glaesser, Tübingen)

Mar 29, 2022 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

online

Judith Glaesser

An introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): from the example of relative educational poverty to first archaeological applications
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) was developed by the political scientist and sociologist Charles Ragin – the method has not been applied in archaeology yet. QCA cannot easily be allocated either to the quantitative or the qualitative research tradition, it combines elements from both. Cases are at the core of the analysis. Cases can be anything: an individual, a region, a site… QCA treats cases holistically, as combinations of attributes. Based on formal logic, set theory and Boolean algebra, QCA analyses combinations of conditions which are sufficient and/or necessary for the outcome under study. Thus, it is able to take account of the context in which factors have their effects.
In her presentation, Judith Glaesser will give an overview of QCA, and, drawing on relative educational poverty as an example, she will demonstrate its application. In an open discussion we will try to transfer the approach from the sociological case study of contemporary social inequalities into the sphere of archaeology and related subjects.

CV Judith Glaesser
Judith Glaesser is a research fellow at the Methods Center, Tübingen University. She took a degree (Diplom) in psychology at Konstanz University, followed by a PhD in sociology also at Konstanz. She then spent 10 years at the School of Education, Durham University, UK, first as research fellow, then as lecturer and senior lecturer. She came to Tübingen in 2016 initially to work at the Tübingen School of Education, joining the Methods Center in 2018.
Her areas of research are sociology of education and research methods, in particular the set-theoretic method Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), and she also has an interest in research design more generally.
