Inspired by “Mother or Wife” African dilemma tales, the present research utilizes a cultural psychology perspective to explore the dynamic, mutual constitution of personal relationship tendencies and cultural-ecological affordances for neoliberal subjectivity and abstracted independence. We administered a resource allocation task in Ghana and the United States to assess the prioritization of conjugal/nuclear relationships over consanguine/kin relationships along three dimensions of sociocultural variation: nation (American and Ghanaian), residence (urban and rural), and church membership (Pentecostal Charismatic and Traditional Western Mission). Results show that tendencies to prioritize nuclear over kin relationships – especially spouses over parents – were greater among participants in the first compared to the second of each pair. Discussion considers issues for a cultural psychology of cultural dynamics.

Проаналізовано явище війни у межах соціокультурної динаміки, а також етапи становлення даного феномену, на який все більшою мірою впливають культурні, соціальні та психологічні фактори. Досліджено поняття війни як феномену (анти) культури, яке розглядається у специфічному, антропологічному значенні з використанням матеріальних засобів (культурних артефактів), замкнутому в конкретному соціокультурному просторі та спрямованому на реалізацію конкретних цілей в етносоціальних, історичних, ментальних параметрах. Саме у процесі соціодинаміки культури, явище війни набуває антагоністичних форм: від глобальної взаємодії до локальної розпорошеності, що у свою чергу зумовлює використання нових методів та засобів у військових протистояннях. The article covers the phenomenon of war within the framework of socio-cultural dynamics, as well as the stages of the formation of this phenomenon, which is increasingly influenced by cultural, social and psychological factors. The concept of war investigated as a (anti) cultural phenomenon, which is considered in a specific, anthropological sense using material means (cultural artefacts), closed in a specific sociocultural space aimed at realizing specific goals in ethno-social, historical and mental factors. It is in the process of the sociodynamics of culture that the phenomenon of war takes on antagonistic forms: from global interaction to local spred, which in turn leads to the use of new methods in military confrontation.

The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography provides a comprehensive overview of the development of Latin scripts from Antiquity to the Early Modern period, of codicology, and of the cultural setting of the mediaeval manuscript. The opening section, on Latin Palaeography, treats a full range of Latin book hands, beginning with Square and Rustic Capitals and finishing with Humanistic minuscule. The Handbook is groundbreaking in giving extensive treatment to such scripts as Old Roman Cursive, New Roman Cursive, and Visigothic. Each article is written by a leading expert in the field and is copiously illustrated with figures and plates. Examples of each script with full transcription of selected plates are frequently provided for the benefit of newcomers to the field. The second section, on Codicology, contains essays on the design and physical make-up of the manuscript book, and it includes as well articles in newly-created disciplines, such as comparative codicology. The third and final section, Manuscript Setting, places the mediaeval manuscript within its cultural and intellectual setting, with extended essays on the mediaeval library, particular genres and types of manuscript production, the book trade in antiquity and the Middle Ages, and manuscript cataloguing. All articles are in English. The Handbook will be an indispensable guide to all those working in the various fields concerned with the literary and cultural dynamics of book production in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period.

Abstract This article presents the ceramic sequence and chronology resulting from a multi-year program of survey, excavation, and analysis of pre-Hispanic settlement and exploitation within the Zinapécuaro-Ucareo (“U-Z”), Michoacan obsidian source area. Pottery analysis and classification aided by seriation analysis identified nine ceramic complexes and seven ceramic phases and sub-phases that both expand and refine the ceramic sequence previously established for the region by Gorenstein's (1985) investigations at nearby Acámbaro, Guanajuato. Initially established by ceramic cross-dating, the U-Z ceramic chronology has been largely confirmed by 30 radiocarbon dates and spans over 2,000 years of pre-Hispanic settlement, which included at least two notable episodes of trait-unit and site-unit intrusion from the eastern El Bajío and central Mexico. One of these episodes involved the appearance of two enclaves settled by individuals from the Acambay valley c. 90 km to the East, most likely from the site of Huamango, which our data indicate would have been occupied during the Middle Postclassic period.
