Isi artikel

This article marks an effort to extend Louis Dumont’s concept pair of hierarchy and individualism towards a more realistic understanding of social formations. Dumont’s work is reviewed along with his critics, and through a survey of contemporary ethnography a move towards a concept of totalization is suggested. It is argued that a view of totalization and detotalization provides a vocabulary for a re-establishment of the social for the discipline of anthropology.
