Two types of mobility
nomadic hunter-gatherer
reciprocity of a gift
hunter-gatherer society
pure gift
Emorya believes that the principle of reciprocity was formed after settlement
Thought experiment on [nomadic hunter-gatherer
25-50 persons
Joint deposition of food = equal distribution
Joint hunting
Constant movement makes it impossible to stockpile the harvest
Reciprocity principle that avoids the state
Emaya: "The idea that agriculture led to settlement is dubious."
Hunter-gatherers also settle
Cases where settlement did not result in accumulation of products and inequality of wealth and power
A mechanism was invented to prevent
We call this the "settlement revolution."
Clan society is not a prelude to state formation, but an attempt to circumvent the path to state society. Advanced Society
The Way Beyond the State
How can we introduce reciprocity without relying on God's commands?
Reciprocity as "the return of the oppressed." The original father never existed.
Family bonding was fragile.
Nation = Original Father
Prevent this formation
totemism
repetition of the original father-killer
Freud thought the murdered original father would regress.
Emorya considered the mobility lost by settlement, and the freedom and equality it brings
Two Kinds of Nomads
Farming and cattle raising emerged in the original city.
child
Agriculture and cattle raising → expansion of productive forces → urban development → class decomposition → state
reverse
The "original city" began as a place of trade between communities.
Trade → original city → information accumulation → agriculture
Emaya supports this hypothesis.
Criticizes the idea that cattle ranching occurred as a development of husbandry
Sheep, for example, are herding animals that live in herds on grasslands.
Occurred in the meadows.
Karaya: invented in the original city where information accumulates
Agriculture and cattle raising invented
Differentiation between farmers and nomads
Nomads left the original city and became nomadic.
Restored the nomadic nature that was present in nomadic hunter-gatherers.
Nomads conquer and subjugate farmers.
State Formation
Exchange of protection for obedience
interchange format B
No absolute authority arises from within the community.
External conquests are necessary for a kingdom to be established
Even if conquest does not take place, defense against the threat of conquest creates a collectivized state.
Nomads are between communities and infiltrate them through commerce and war
Nomadic nomadism is exchange modes B and C, not A
Nomadology cannot transcend state and capital.
A new type of nomad
With this kind of playfulness, you can't go beyond capital=nation=state.
The clue to transcend is hunter-gatherer nomadism.
That is the exchange style D
Comes compulsively as a "regression of the repressed" as was the case with Exchange Form A.
Yanagida worked all his life on the nomadic nature of pre-settlement
