Abstract

Curt Nimuendajú (1883-1946) — Curt Nimuendajú faleceu em 1946,no alto Amazonas, entre os índios Tikuna. Foi assim que terminou umacarreira fecunda e cheia de aventura que deixou uma marca profunda emnossa ciência. Os trabalhos linguísticos, arqueológicos e etnográficos deNimuendajú trouxeram-nos dos índios brasileiros uma imagem nova emodificaram as noções tradicionais da etnografia sul-americana. Sob onome Guaraní de Nimuendajú, que ele adotou por amor aos índios que oiniciaram em seus mistérios, escondia-se a personalidade singular de umalemão que foi ainda jovem, como emigrante, para o Brasil, sem bagagemuniversitária, mas com talentos vários e um gosto profundo pela vida nafloresta.

49. COMPROMISE AND THE SETTLEMENT OF CONFLICTS: INTRODUCTION.

Abstract

Among international inquiries undertaken by the UNESCO are those included in several of its programs under the heading of tensions. This series of research projects concerning various aspects of the tensions which are at the root of conflicts between individuals and societies, is particularly suitable for an organization whose primary purpose is to contribute to the maintenance of peace. Two of the articles published in this volume are the outcome of one of these inquiries, focused not on the conflicts themselves but on methods of avoiding or settling them. The planning and conduct of this inquiry was entrusted to the International Social Science Council, whose Secretary-General, at that time, was professor Claude Levi-Strauss. The problem consisted in defining and analyzing the often subtle and obscure means employed in various civilizations to attenuate virulence of the manifold divergences of opinions and interests inherent in social life. Compromise solutions are among the devices to which human communities resort in order to preserve their unity, and it was the purpose of the inquiry to single out examples of compromise and to assess the importance attached by various societies to arbitration or a conciliatory attitude.
