In that<br \/>\nhistory, various tensions and oppositions appear and reappear: society and the<br \/>\nstate, society and the individual, society and culture, society and nature,<br \/>\nprimitive society and modern society. In recent years, as the particular use of<br \/>\nthe term to denote a specific group of people and their way of life has grown<br \/>\never more problematic, while some of these tensions have approached<br \/>\nbreaking-point, anthropologists have started to suggest abandoning the very<br \/>\nidea of society as a theoretical construct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">There<br \/>\nare different positions occupied by social scientists in explaining society.<br \/>\nThese are<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Society in essentialist approach:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">Society<br \/>\ncan be seen as a basic, but not exclusive, attribute of human nature: we are<br \/>\ngenetically predisposed to social life. Becoming fully human depends on<br \/>\ninteraction with our fellow creatures; the phylogenesis of our species runs<br \/>\nparallel to the development of language and labour, social abilities without<br \/>\nwhich the organism\u2019s needs cannot be met. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Society in Constructivist approach:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">Society<br \/>\ncan also be seen as constituting one particular, exclusive dimension of human<br \/>\nnature (Ingold 1994), our dependence on the rules of our particular society.<br \/>\nThe very idea of social agency is revealed in behaviour which is not founded in<br \/>\ninstincts, selected by evolution, but instead in rules which have their origins<br \/>\nin history rather than in the requirements of the human organism. The notion of<br \/>\n\u2018rule\u2019 may be taken in different senses: in <b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\">structural-functionalism <\/b>it is moral and prescriptive; in <b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\">structuralism or in symbolic anthropology<\/b><br \/>\nit is cognitive and descriptive. Despite this important difference, in both<br \/>\ncases an emphasis on rules expresses the institutional nature of the principles<br \/>\nof social action and organization. The rules of different human societies vary<br \/>\nin time and space, but there are rules of some sort everywhere (L\u00e9vi-Strauss<br \/>\n1969 [1949], Fortes 1983).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Singular and Plural senses:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">The idea<br \/>\nof <b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">a<\/i><\/b><br \/>\n\u2018society\u2019 is applicable to a human group having some of the following<br \/>\nproperties: territoriality; recruitment primarily by sexual reproduction of its<br \/>\nmembers; an institutional organization that is relatively self-sufficient and<br \/>\ncapable of enduring beyond the life-span of an individual; and cultural<br \/>\ndistinctiveness. In this sense, society may denote the group\u2019s population, its<br \/>\ninstitutions and relations, or its culture and ideology. Therefore, in its<br \/>\nsingular sense it represents <b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">a <\/i><\/b>group of people or a particular type<br \/>\nof humanity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">While in<br \/>\nits plural sense of the term society is equivalent to \u2018social system\u2019 or<br \/>\n\u2018social organization\u2019, the socio-political framework of the group is important:<br \/>\nits morphology (composition, distribution and relations between the subgroups<br \/>\nof society), its body of jural norms (ideas of authority and citizenship,<br \/>\nconflict regulation, status and role systems), and its characteristic patterns<br \/>\nof social relations (relations of power and exploitation, forms of<br \/>\nco-operation, modes of exchange).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">One of<br \/>\nthe ways to handle the relation between the two senses of \u2018society\u2019 has been to<br \/>\ndivide anthropology into \u2018ethnographic\u2019 description and interpretation,<br \/>\nfocusing on the analysis of the particular and emphasizing the differences<br \/>\nbetween societies; and \u2018theoretical\u2019 comparison and explanation, which attempts<br \/>\nto formulate synthetic propositions valid for all human societies. In spite of<br \/>\nefforts to define the two activities as methodologically complementary<br \/>\n\u2018stages\u2019, anthropology has tended to polarize between \u2018ethnography\u2019, which<br \/>\ndeals with specific societies, and \u2018theory\u2019, which deal with society in its<br \/>\nabstract and general sense. The universalist perspective predominated in the<br \/>\nearly years of anthropology, with an emphasis on the \u2018comparative method\u2019 and<br \/>\non the definition of major types of society. The golden age of the ethnographic<br \/>\nmethod was the period of culturalism and functionalism, in which ethnography<br \/>\nwas used polemically to demolish speculative typologies (by *Boas) or as the<br \/>\nroyal road to the universal (for Malinowski). The structuralisms of<br \/>\nRadcliffe-Brown and L\u00e9vi-Strauss, and American neo-evolutionism (\u2020White,<br \/>\n\u2020Steward), in turn shifted back to comparison and generalization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">Since<br \/>\nthe 1960s this polarization has intensified. On the one hand, the interest in<br \/>\nmeaning and interpretation has restored ethnography to a pre-eminent position,<br \/>\nprivileging the actor\u2019s perspective and seeking a critique of the<br \/>\nanthropologist\u2019s concepts in the different emic views of society. Society in<br \/>\nthe general sense came to be subordinated to society in the specific, plural<br \/>\nsense. On the other hand, developments in sociobiology, the psychological study<br \/>\nof cognition, and cultural ecology have led to ambitious hypotheses concerning<br \/>\n\u2018sociality\u2019 as a genetic property of the human species, along with behavioural<br \/>\nand cognitive universals (eventually attributing the \u2018phenotypic\u2019 diversity of<br \/>\nthe human ethogram to such extrinsic variables as the *environment). This<br \/>\npolarization between ever more specific culturalist interpretation and ever<br \/>\nmore grandiose naturalist explanation has ultimately emptied the concept of<br \/>\nsociety of any significance, reducing it either to particular representations<br \/>\nor to universal behaviour. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a name=\"_GoBack\"\/><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 In classical sense society refers to a group of people who share a common \u2018culture\u2019, occupy a particular territorial area and feel themselves to constitute a unified and distinct entity (Frisby and Sayer 1986).
