Thesis (Ph.D.)--Emory University, 1998.

Generally, this dissertation is an exploration in the nature of human nature: a quest for that which is distinctively human. This exploration and quest takes as its particular historical, cultural, and theoretical focus, the work of British social anthropologist Meyer Fortes, and his ethnography of the Tallensi people of Ghana. Fortes' fieldwork in Taleland reflects not only an important contribution to the anthropological knowledge of kinship systems among so-called 'primitive' peoples, but it also offers certain insightful psychological observations, crucial aspects of which are, for the most part, overlooked. This dissertation therefore attempts to isolate Fortesian formulations of the interaction of cultural symbols, social institutions, and the individual psyche, psychological anthropology, with a view toward discerning a deeper understanding of the Tallensi 'conscientious personality'. Among Fortes' most striking observations in this regard, is the manner in which the Oedipus complex is apparently openly recognized among the Tallensi, and then incorporated into their social organization in order to 'control it'. This dissertation attempts to demonstrate that Sigmund Freud's myth of the primal horde, which he proposed to account for the origins of the Oedipus complex, finds certain ethnographic support in Fortes' description and analysis of the Tallensi people. This reinterpretation of the significance of Meyer Fortes' work and the Tallensi ethnography, especially the Tallensi way of life based upon a prescribed 'caring and sharing', is implicitly and explicitly subversive of those unenlightened, derogatory views of all non-western societies.
