James 0 Connor has theorized this in terms of what he calls the second contradiction of capitalism. Modernization theories of development deal with economic growth, which contributes to increased productivity of goods and services that treat nature, humans and ecologt; as raw materials for generating surplus and profit. The structure of capitalist relations, and the way they produce new forms of destitution, marginalization, impoverishment and poverty, are invisible in State accounts that advocate a neoliberal accumulative path of development in the name of bettering socieh;. In this paper we try to show that how the capitalist social formation often neglected the ecosystem and the traditional social structure which progressively induced resistance and conflict.

Culture, the man-made environment has its origin on the earth from the time when human beings started interaction with their natural environment for satisfaction of basic, derived and integrative needs. Religion, an integrated part of culture is also the result of satisfaction of that psychic and integrative need. The concept of Nature-Man-Spirit Complex and Sacred Complex and the concept of Great and Little traditions contributed a lot to the understanding of the religious and cultural complexion of Indian villages. The villagers depend on their natural surroundings for their socio-cultural necessities and believe that various type of spirits reside in village forest, land and water bodies. In Chhattisgarh, ponds not only act as the source of water for the villagers, but also play a very important role in the socio-economic and cultural life of villagers. Present study is an attempt to observe the changing relationships of People-Pond-Spirit complex as a part of little tradition in a village ofChhattisgarh. The paper argues that Ponds are an important part of village life and belief pattern of the villagers in Chhattisgarh in general.","PeriodicalId":186168,"journal":{"name":"The Oriental Anthropologist","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115244461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study seeks to understand how trust affects safe sex for women in long-term stable relationships living in a rural area in Soutlz Africa. A qualitative research design was adopted. Data was obtained from a sample of nine male and twelve female participants aged between 18 and 60 years as well as eight focus group discussions. All participants were self-identified as being in long-term stable relationships. Thematic content a1zalysis was conducted on all the data, using a sex script theoretical framework. It was found that trust was underpinned by a number of factors such as duration of the relationship, commitment, and the difficulty of negotiating condom use. How people spoke about trust allowed for the creation of a number of sexual scripts or norms that they used to justifij not using condoms in their relationships. These scripts included the sex shows love and commitment script, a trusted partner is a safe partner script; and the marriage script. These legitimise people's sexual actions and help them to rationalise what might be considered as irrational, risky, sexual behaviours.","PeriodicalId":186168,"journal":{"name":"The Oriental Anthropologist","volume":"285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132396763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The majority of the people that live in Hopley are forced migrants who came to reside in here in the wake of the forced migration campaign named Operation Murambatsvina. Forced migration and internal displacement leads to the dispossession of one's home and shelter. In addition, forced migration is also associated with deprivations of basic services such as health. This paper draws from data gathered from the experiences of ten displaced women in Hopley communi h) collected through semi-structured interviews. It fowses on perceptions of internal displacement in relation to sexual and reproductive health. The paper uses the women's narratives to unpack the implications of being dispossessed of one's home and in a sense, one's body and the women's rights in the context of their bodies. Social Constructionist Theory is used to contextualise these women's lived experiences in terms of sexual and reproductive health rights. Findings suggest that the women in Hopley are victims of double vulnerability, stemming from their displflcement, which has depri~d them of their homes and in tum also led to the 'dispossession' of their bodies.","PeriodicalId":186168,"journal":{"name":"The Oriental Anthropologist","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131832872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the Pentecostal charismatic circles, sexual relations between demons and humans are an essential part of their belief and practise. Through the Pentecostal charismatic churches, the female body is portrayed as a site of demonic sexual advancement and violations and one trapped in secrec1; and shame. In Anthropology, such practices have insufficiently been labelled 'the malcontents of modernity'. Ten young girls were interviewed for the study drawn from three churches in Durban. Through the perspective of critical medical anthropology theory, it is understood that the female body is the \"terrain where social truths are forged and social contradictions played out, as well as the locus of personal resistance, activity and struggle\" (Scheper-Hughes and Lock, 1987:16). Auto etlmography gave me the opportunity to display multiple layers of consciousness, connecting the personal to the religious.

Smoking among the populations of young Black African females appears to be on the increase in the country, and is likewise reflected by the increasing numbers of smokers among the female student cohort at the UniversihJ ofKwaZuluNatal, South Africa. There have hmvever, been more studies done on male tobacco consumph'on, and arguably less attention has been paid on girl and women smokers, especially in low middle income countries. There has also been less work done in the context of female smokers in tertian; institutes. Given the multiple reproductive health implications for women, research among women smokers is thus critical. This focus piece in turn draws from an exploraton; study with a small sample of Black African female students at a tertiary institute who are smokers. Working through tlze heuristic notion of'urbanicity' (Wiiliams et al. 2008) as a descriptor for transitioningfrom rural to urban spaces, the paper probes how female students rationalize their use and acceptance of smoking. Through the use of narrative analysis, initial findings suggest that the young females hold multiple insecurities around their body image, acceptance and social integration mzd further reveal that there are (perceived) benefits of enhancement in image and status on the part of the smoker. Tlzis low self-esteem and need for enhancing self-image surfaced among the female smokers coming from rural or peri-urban backgrounds and offer situated complexities around the ontogeny of smoking amongst this group of young women.","PeriodicalId":186168,"journal":{"name":"The Oriental Anthropologist","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126053667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
