A book giving some "new perspectives" on it was published in 1983 by Jerry and Edmund Leach, and a variant of this system was discussed by Reo Fortune. One author described it as a "consecutive narrative" beginning with canoe-building and continuing through the complicated rituals involving the kitoum. Because those who perform it do not use the term "gimwali" to describe it, Marcel Mauss insisted that it is not an example of commodity exchange. Occurring in several islands in the Massim archipelago of Papua New Guinea, shell necklaces and armbands are the usual mediums of exchange. Described in Malinowski's Argonauts of the Western Pacific, FTP, identify this gift exchange system or ring.

...

A series of court battles followed this man's refutation of the Bedford Level Experiment, and he refuted Percival Lowell's claims about Martian canals in Is Mars Habitable?

FTP, name this rule of sound shifts put forth by a man who collaborated with his brother on collecting fairy tales.

...

FTP identify this no longer accepted, though nonetheless revolutionary, work of comparative religion and mythology written by James Frazer.

...

By chance he met Henry Christy in Havana in 1836, who persuaded him to accompany his team on a Mexican expedition that he later recounted in his 1861 Anahuac, or Mexico and the Mexicans. In his next work, he attempted to trace the development of man from a savage to a civilized state and defined the earliest form of religious belief as http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?idxref=81987"animism."

For ten points, name this former Harvard sociologist and author of The Structure of Social Action.

...

The author writes that the work is grounded in listening, and the discussion of the Heinz dilemma centers around Julia's need to resolve a network of relationships rather than considering individual rights. Thus, the work criticized the three stages of development by positing an "ethics of care" that women were predisposed to. FTP, identify this work which provided a feminist counterpoint to Kohlberg's moral stages, written by Carol Gilligan.

...

Derrida borrowed from this man, who said that his three "mistresses" were Marxism, psychoanalysis and geology. His The Way of the Masks analyzed American Indians, and he critiqued Elkin's findings in his Totemism Today. But it was his four volume work, influenced by Roman Jakobson, that sought to categorize folktales as a language for which he is best remembered. FTP, name this anthropologist and author of The Savage Mind, Structural Anthropology, and the aforementioned Mythologiques.

...

Derrida critiques this work's depiction of the uses of tobacco as an example of cherry picking examples to prove a point.

In later works, he argues that the US must maintain its hegemony not by military might or economic incentives as in the neorealist view, but by diplomacy and noncoercive means, or "soft power." The author of Power and Interdependence and The Paradox of American Power¸ FTP, name this current Kennedy School of Government professor, the founder of the IR theory of neoliberalism.

...

Elements of stress present in this work include the aumaga society, called "the strength of the village," and the subsequent title of matai. The female equivalent of the latter was the taupou, ceremonial virginity, which might be counterfeited with the blood of a chicken.

FTP, name this book describing adolescence in a Pacific island society, the most famous work of Margaret Mead.

...

Experiments demonstrating it involved filling out a questionnaire in a room slowly filled with smoke, the stealing of beer from a liquor store, and talking about stress problems with other students during which someone suffers a seizure, all studies by Darley and Latane from a 1969 article entitled "Apathy."

One anthropologist used salvage ethnography to study this man's testimony, while that anthropologist's wife, Theodora, wrote a famous account of him "In Two Worlds." Since this man never disclosed his real name to Alfred Kroeber or other European-Americans, he was given a name meaning "man" in his native language.

FTP, identify this British anthropologist perhaps best known for his assertion that there must be equality between the sexes in his The Natural Superiority of Women.

...

He established the department of anthropology at Yale after his time at the Canadian National Museum in Ottawa, where his studies among Indians resulted in the suggestion that North American Indian languages could be grouped into 6 divisions. This was important because man's perception of the world was mediated through language, this was the basis for the ethno-linguistic hypothesis he later studied with his student Benjamin Whorf. FTP identify this anthropologist most famed for 1921's Language.

...

He first came to America in 1883, as part of an expedition sent to study native culture on Baffin Island. Three years later, he became a professor at Clark University, from which he studied the natives of British Columbia. FTP, identify this author of Race and Democratic Society, Anthropology and Modern Life, and The Mind of Primitive Man, a longtime teacher of anthropology at Columbia University whose students included Ruth Benedict, Zora Neale Hurston, and Margaret Mead.

...

He had planned a career in physics and math, but while recuperating from an illness changed plans after reading The Golden Bough. He saw cultural institutions as fulfilling three basic types of needs -- biological, instrumental, and integrative. His breakthrough work was serendipitous; the outbreak of World War I left him stranded for three years in the Trobriand Islands, from which experience he wrote Argonauts of the Western Pacific and Coral Gardens and Their Magic. FTP name this Polish-born anthopologist.

...

He postulated that the human mental process of pairing opposites engenders an unconscious "metastructure" of society, an idea known as his "distinctive feature method" of analysis. First gaining fame with the work A World on the Wane, he argued that the father/son, brother/sister, husband/wife, and uncle/nephew relationships constructed the elementary unit of kinship.

...

He prophesied the drift toward a welfare state in his publication What Social Classes Owe Each Other. This man's monumental four-volume collaboration with Albert G. Keller, Science of Society, was not published until seventeen years after his death. He railed against the placement of extensive economic burdens on the middle class, the group that he famously termed the "Forgotten Man" in an essay of that name, and he is credited with coining the concept of ethnocentrism. However, the introduction of such terms as folkways and mores [mo rays], FTP, are the best-known accomplishments of what first great American sociologist?

...

He provided the first physical evidence of the Battle of Sphacteria by discovering old Spartan fortifications on that island. Other important projects were his excavations at Onchomenos and Tyrins, where he would be supported by his assistant Wilhelm Dorpfeld. Earlier, he had disproved a popular myth that some important ruins lay under a hill at Bunarbashi by securing the support of two landowners from Hissarlik. FTP, name this German archaeologist who discovered evidence of four previous towns, which he believed to be the ruins of Trojan civilization.

...

He also started the journal L'Année Sociologique and wrote The Rules of Sociological Method. FTP, name this social scientist who found that the breakdown of societal norms, which he called anomie, led to increased suicides.

...

He was a fastidious writer, and never got around to publishing his Josiah Mason lectures on primitive cosmology or his famous 1937 Chicago seminar on the natural science of society. He was often criticized for downplaying conflict and assuming that institutions work together smoothly, but he argued that he was more interested in the development of primitive social structures than class struggle. In a major work of 1931, he compiled a vast amount of information on the aborigines to describe the "social organization of Australian tribes." He derived many of his ideas from his teacher W. H. R. Rivers and from Durkheim, who led him to view society as a system of interdependent structures. FTP, name this British anthropologist best known for his study of the Andaman Islanders.

These resulted in works like The Mind of the Primitive Man and the respect of students like Edward Sapir and Ruth Benedict. FTP, name this founder of American anthropology.

...

His last publication was The American University with Gerald Platt and Neil Smelser. In his first major work he offered a new approach for sociological theory, arguing that its locus does not reside in the internal field of personality as postulated by Weber, whose Protestant Ethic he translated into English. This new outlook led to a school of thought, first championed by Algernon Radcliffe-Brown, that made this man famous. FTP, name this sociologist who established the structural-functional theory in such works as The Structure of Social Action.

...

His most notorious publication is likely the article "Distortions at Fourth Hand," in which he apologized for the Khmer Rouge, and he also wrote the preface to a book by Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson, claiming that he was defending the principle of free speech.

Skinner's theories helped to initiate the cognitive revolution in psychology, and his namesake hierarchy ranks the expressive power of formal languages, a concept important in automata theory. His "principles and parameters" approach to language acquisition posits the existence of a universal grammar, and he believes that grammar is transformational and generative. FTP, name this linguist and polemicist, author of the scientific Syntactic Structures and political Imperial Ambitions.

In African American Vernacular English, the ones indicating possession and the third singular present are both null. In suppletion, one of these is replaced with another to denote a grammatical contrast, such as "went" for the past tense of "go." The insertion of one of these into another, such as an expletive into a word such as "outstanding," is known as infixation. The brothers Von Schlegel classified languages as either analytic or synthetic based on the number of these per word.

In his dissertation, he sought to explain certain irregularities in Indo-European vowel gradation by postulating additional 'laryngeal' consonants, whose existence was only confirmed thirty years later with the discovery of Hittite. Despite achieving such success in historical linguistics, by opposing what he termed langue, or the state of speech at a given time, with parole, individual speech, he advocated the study of languages as static structures, emphasizing what he called "synchronic" over "diachronic" linguistics. FTP, name this Swiss linguist who is most famous for lectures he gave which were later published by his students as Course in General Linguistics.

For 10 points, identify this work that posited a distinction between inner and outer directed types and was subtitled "A Study of the American Character," by David Riesman.

...

It is a leading exemplar of a mould theory, as opposed to a cloak theory. Its original formulation involved the direction that a canoe on a beach is pointing, which led to this idea being lambasted as derived from a "limited, badly analyzed sample" and the product of "long-time leanings toward mysticism" in a critique by Steven Pinker. Loglan was created as an attempt to avoid the consequences of this idea, which was originally conceived to demonstrate that the Hopi do not experience time in the same way as English speakers. FTP, identify this principle, named for the two linguists who developed it, which states in general form that one's language determines one's perception.

The sequel to it, subtitled "A Study in Cultural Conflicts," appeared in 1937, and depicted the titular entity "in transition." In the original study, life in it was divided into six categories, such as "Engaging in Community Activities" and "Making a Home," and the impact of the Industrial Revolution was gauged by comparing life in 1890 to life in 1924, the year of the study. FTP, identify this 1929 "study in contemporary American culture," a book by Robert and Helen Lynd which examined life in Muncie, Indiana.

Its final chapter, which cites to Burckhardt's Renaissance to make a point about the definition of "success," begins by comparing Native American and Samoan approaches to deceit during warfare and is entitled "Life Policy." Another section describes the history of the mimus and the marionette theater to argue that "amusements" "lack all progress" and need the constant control of educated judgment and will. This work asserts that slavery originated with "ill feelings towards a member of an out group" but that it paradoxically taught members of society the value of work. Chapter two defines certain entities and notes that they arose from recurrent needs that were unforeseen and went unnoticed for a long time. First published in 1906, it advocated a study of society its author termed "ethology" and focused on the relationship between the titular non-coercive customs and their more binding analogues: Mores. For 10 points, identify this work by William Graham Sumner.

Its first chapter, "Thick Descriptions," adopts Gilbert Ryle's example of winking as a distinction between observation and interpretation of actions. Borrowing Weber's notion that "man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun," the author defines the title concept as the sum of those webs, and seeks a thick description of it. Chapter 13, "The Cerebral Savage," is an essay on Claude Levi-Strauss, while the 15th and final chapter, "Deep Play," contains the author's notes on the Balinese cockfight.

FTP, with the use of bowls and green leaves still being standard, name this Japanese ritual.

...

Its seventh chapter includes a discussion of quinary, decimal, and vigesimal notations of the world, while another section of that chapter argues that "hand-numerals" show that verbal reckoning derived from "gesture-counting."

Its structural form was first discussed by Johan Galtung, and James Gilligan discusses this in the context of helping the subaltern. In a study of its origins and "body pleasure," James Prescott argues that sexually open societies have less of it. In 1986 UNESCO released the Seville statement on it to refute the notion that it was biologically determined. Franz De Waal took issue with that report and argued that it was ingrained in primate social relations. In another study of it, the author discusses prejudices against it held by Jaures and the Blanquists, and argues that class struggle makes it necessary. FTP, give this term for aggression against others which was reflected upon by Georges Sorel.

...

Julie Kristeva appropriated the name of this field for irrational effluxes of the infantile self. Lev Vygotsky emphasized the pragmatic-instrumental character of the elements of communication central to it. Its name was first coined in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Charles Morris is credited with first applying it, though it was Umberto Eco who popularized it. Charles Sanders Peirce categorized the field's subject into three types: index, icon, and symbol. Contrasted in its early context with semantics, FTP, identify this interdisciplinary field concerned with the use of signs.

...

Karl Marx distinguished between its appearance in society as a whole among autonomous parties, and its appearance under the authority of a dominant party. Emile Durkheim asserted that it was a prerequisite for the growth of organic solidarity in a modern culture, and wrote about it "in society" in one of his works. Perhaps the best-known example of it is the set of 18 separate operations in a pin factory cited in a 1776 work. FTP, name this sociological concept, the separation of tasks for maximum efficiency.

Leslie White suggested that the product of technical factor efficiency and per capita energy consumption is an appropriate quantitative measure of the "evolution" of this concept, which, according to another scientist, is best explained in terms of "webs of significance." Those "webs" are best "interpreted" through "thick description" of "deep play" such as the Balinese cock fight according to Cliffy Geertz. A 1944 essay by Bronislaw Malinowski offered a "scientific theory" of it, while a 1934 book about it considers such groups as the Kwakiutl and Zuni. FTP, name this concept whose "patterns" were discussed by Ruth Benedict.

Toi, one semi-mythical leader of the people, is estimated to have lived around 1150 A.D. A subset of them founded a new culture on the Chatham Islands, and Frederick Maning wrote of his time spent with this ethnic group. Prior to their unification during the King Movement, this people was plagued by infighting among groups led by Pomare, Titore, and Te Wera, a series of conflicts known as the Musket Wars.

Northern Sami has a notable one of these which emphasizes three qualities of these instead of the more usual two, while another variant of this with three components is found in some forms of British RP. Czech avoids creating these in its loanwords, while in some languages, a reversal of the process that leads to these objects may occur, which notably happens in both Received Pronunciation and Australian English. Its components are commonly called the 'glide', or 'off-glide', and the 'nucleus', the latter of which is often raised in the Tidewater region of Virginia.

One critic has argued that the essay "Embarrassment and Social Organization" places this student of W. Lloyd Warner in the Durkheimian school of ritualistic sociology. In one of his works he concluded that marketing reflects society's paternalistic subordination of women to men. In another he elucidated a tripartite classification of social devaluation: bodily, moral, and tribal. In a more noted series of works, he developed the theory of impression management and established the metaphor of sociology as theater, for which he tends to be pigeonholed as a symbolic interactionist.

One dispute regarding this work was over the nature of chastity, particularly in the tradition of the taupou, a representative of the bridegroom who checked the bride's virginity. The author admitted that its accounts of the moetotolo are biased because only girls who lived with the pastor were spoken to. The strongest criticism came from anthropologist Derek Freeman. His claims may be biased, as many of the women studied converted to Christianity, suggesting a repudiation of their earlier sexually promiscuous ways. The work essentially argued that the happiness of the title island's people was due to their loose attitude towards sex. FTP, name this work about adolescents growing up, written by Margaret Mead.

One of this man's works describes how labor leaders all eventually abandon their oppositional outlook against management, and adapt to work within the confines of the capitalist structure. In one of his works, he described sociology as the natural extension of human history and biography, and criticizes Talcott Parsons' grand theory for divorcing sociology from individuals. In his best-known work, this author describes how the title class of people reproduces itself by admitting new members based on how well they clone themselves after existing members. Those people include the military-industrial complex. For 10 points, name this sociologist who wrote The New Men of Power, The Sociological Imagination, and The Power-Elite.

...

One of this philosopher's late works employs Tarski's correspondence theory of truth to develop the idea of "verisimilitude".

One section of this work is entitled "Education for Choice" and some of its case studies are Fala, Siva, and Mala. This work explains how the taupou system can be skirted using chicken blood, and implies that the moetotolo practice is widespread. The theory that Tau islanders were playing a practical joke on its author has notably been advanced by the author who described its "Anthropological Myth," Derek Freeman. This work contentiously claimed that adolescents were less stressed while transitioning to adulthood in cultures where teens experienced less sexual inhibition. FTP, name this anthropological work centering on Polynesian culture by Margaret Mead.

...

One use of it has been to suggest that a large axion decay constant, naively ruled out due to its prediction of an overabundance of dark matter, is allowed due to a highly tuned initial angle. Hoyle's argument for the existence of a particular resonance of carbon-12 is often considered a use of this principle. In cosmology, it is the subject of a book by Barrow and Tipler. Its name was coined by Brandon Carter, and one prominent use is Stephen Weinberg's 1987 prediction of a small cosmological constant on the basis of galaxy formation. Its weak form is a tautological statement that the universe must be compatible with our knowledge that carbon-based life exists. For 10 points, what is this controversial principle which in one strong form relies on an ensemble of universes in which we live in a rare habitable region?

Henrika Kuklick's this ...Within describes the early history of British anthropology, including their division of human progress to include civilization, barbarism, and a stage comprised of these. Lewis Henry Morgan characterized that stage in terms of sexual promiscuity, a theme also taken up in a work about The Sexual Life of... them, and Sex and Repression in... their kind of society in books by Malinowski. More broadly, Levi-Strauss described the nature of human society in his book about this kind of mind. For 10 points, name this anthropological label for primitive, violent man, whose idealized version is known as the "noble" kind.

Recent evidence collected here has suggested that the lime-rich marl clay prompted residents to locate this site in the middle of an immense marshland. More recent work by Martin and Russell has overturned the earlier claim by Perkins that it was the earliest center of cattle domestication, and Halbaek has cited the discovery of hackberries at all levels here as evidence of alcohol production. Its commercial importance was related to Hasan Dag, a nearby volcano and the source of obsidian. Plastered auroch skulls and other objects decorated by horns are taken as evidence of an important bull cult here, though since the discovery of an obese female statue with two leopards by Melaart, this site has been associated with goddess worship. With a name meaning "fork mound" in Turkish, for 10 points, name this Neolithic archaeological site in the Konya Plain in Asia Minor.

Robert Kapsis argued that it was low in certain communities in his article on Black Ghetto Diversity and it. In an article by Gary Lee entitled Marriage and this, Lee references a version of this concept which attempts to explain the criminal tendency to act upon any opportunity for income, even when illegal. That version was developed by Robert Merton, who wrote Social Structure and this. It was identified as a result of religion's decreasing importance in society and of the modern division of labor. For 10 points, name this breakdown of social norms resulting in a feeling of lack of purpose, one of the four major causes of suicide identified by Emile Durkheim.

Sections of this work discuss early Roman law and the Germanic wadium, while it begins with a quote from the Havamal, a portion of the Edda. This work extends the author's first work, a collaboration in which he analyzed analogous ideas in Hinduism and Judaism. Marilyn Strathern critiqued this book from a gender perspective, while Sahlins' article on the "The Spirit of [It]", claimed that its author may have misunderstood an idea called the hau, in which the souls of the people involved in the title ritual become intermingled. The author views the title concept as multivalent-that is, a situation where a single action stands for all of society, called a total prestation. Drawing from Malinowski's study of the kula ring and the institution of the potlatch, for 10 points, identify this sociological work about the titular exchange by Marcel Mauss.

She continues her theory about "the mother ship of culture" first laid out in her speech "The Magic of Images"in a book whose subtitle claims that she "reads forty-three of the world's best poems." Claiming to be on a mission to "save culture from theory," she asserted that all of western culture is a fear-induced phallic symbol in her major work, which equates women with the uncontrollable part of nature. She also attacked campus speech codes in Vamps & Tramps. For 10 points, name this pro-capitalism feminist, the author of Sexual Personae.

Starting with an article in The New Republic,"Call to Arms", this thinker advocated for America's entry into World War II, an argument he expanded in the books Men Must Act and Faith for Living. His forays into criticisms were inspired in part by his friendship with Van Wyk Brooks; he also authored a biography of Herman Melville and argued for the merits of aesthetic experience in Values for Survival. In The Human Prospect he traced the development of the clock to time keeping in monasteries, while in a better known work he used the metaphors of containers and magnets to explain the the development of "megamachine" in Technics and Civilization. Cofounder of the Regional Planning Association of America, his main work sought to examine the development of urban culture. FTP, identify this social scientist, best known for The City in History and The Culture of Cities.

The "Amesbury Archer" is a possible king of these people, and the bronze swords found in the bogs near this group's population centers may be a basis for Arthurian myth. This group was the first in Britain to abandon communal burial mounds in favor of individual graves, and they also brought barley and other cereals to the island. Their namesake objects were often decorated with horizontal rows of fine-toothed stamps, and this group had extensive context with the Battle-Axe culture. For 10 points, name this neolithic group though to have had a hand in adding to a site started by the preceding megalith-builders, Stonehenge.

...

The characteristic communitas, which was influenced by Robert Merton's definition of society as "patterned," was attributed to Ndembu practitioners of this anthropological phenomenon in works such as The Drums of Affliction and The Forest of Symbols. The term for it was first used by Arnold van Gennep, whose work in rural France formed the basis of a model with three-phases: separation, liminality, and incorporation. In the previously named works, Victor Turner elucidated theories to explain the process of first humiliating, secluding, or testing before allowing a new societal role to be taken. Exemplified by the Norwegian russefeiring, Lakota vision quest, and Jewish Bar Mitzvah, this is, FTP, what phrase used to refer to any ritual symbolizing a change in status?

...

The anterior pillars located on either side of this species' nose seem to relate it to species discovered by Gert Terblanche. An earlier fraud initially led the scientific community to ignore the first of four examples, which was found in a lime quarry near Kimberley. The original specimen was a child with a cranial capacity of four hundred five cubic centimeters, but it wasn't until Robert Broom's discovery of a four hundred eighty-five-cubic-centimeter adult skull that the existence of this species was widely accepted. Phylogenic models suggest that it may be the ancestor of P. Robustus, though the OH62 artifact may indicate it to be the direct ancestor of the Homo genus, rather than the afarensis species of its own genus. FTP, name this hominid species named by Raymond Dart with a name meaning "southern ape of Africa."

The discussion of trees in this work includes sections on the death of Kostrubonko and the Whitsuntide Mummers. A song about a bastard son of Midas named Lityerses who would kill strangers after forcing them to help him gather the harvest is discussed in the section on the Corn-Spirit. The soul is considered as a "shadow and a reflection" and as a "mannikin" in a chapter on the "perils of the soul," while another chapter considers sharp weapons, blood, spittle, and hair as "tabooed things." The book begins by asking "Who does not know Turner's picture" of the titular object, and then describes the grove of Aricia where a certain ceremony once took place. The author initially wanted only to understand the rule which regulated the succession of the priesthood of Diana, but ended up writing twelve volumes. FTP, name this work whose title refers to a branch removed from a sacred tree by Aeneas, which was written by Sir James Frazer.

...

The earliest member of this taxonomic group, found in 1994, is distinguished from earlier groups in part by a thickening of the tooth enamel. A lower jaw discovered at Koro Toro in northern Chad turned out to be from a new variety, and the first source of the most recent variety was a child's skull found at Taung. Footprints discovered in Laetoli showed that the most famous variety developed a forward-pointing big toe and arched feet, though Hadar was the source for the best example of this genus: Lucy. Coined by Raymond Dart to mean "southern ape," FTP name this genus of hominins that lived from about 5.3 to 1.8 million years ago, and includes such species as africanus and afarensis.

...

The final chapter of this book discusses an "abnormal form" of the title concept in which poor regulation prompts a decrease in "functional activity." Its seventh chapter largely refutes Spencer's theory of contracts, stating that positive control is on the rise due to the fundamentally restitutive nature of modern laws. This work contrasts such restitutive systems with the typically repressive systems of primitive peoples, where common experiences prompt a mechanical solidarity that is fundamentally different from the organic solidarity of modern society. Organic solidarity is then said to derive from the title concept, which increases productivity yet leads to the alienation of the individual as well as anomie. For 10 points, name this 1893 magnum opus of French sociologist Émile Durkheim.

...

The most important class of them requires that non-terminals be rewritten without regard to the surrounding symbols -- which makes parsing feasible. An unrestricted one can be constructed for any recursively-enumerable language, but the result may not be useful in practice. An ambiguous one would allow multiple parse-trees for some string, and regular ones describe the same set of languages as regular expressions. FTP, name this method of specifying the syntax of languages, the transformational variety of which forms the basis of a Noam Chomsky theory.

...

The opposition of Christian missionaries caused the Canadian government to ban this practice from 1885 to 1951. Marcel Mauss likened it to the pilou-pilou system of New Caledonia as an example of reciprocal moral economy in traditional societies. Young children who entered the system by distributing blankets were often charged rates of interest as high as one hundred percent. The burning of candlefish oil, cutting of copper sheets, and smashing of canoes were among the rituals performed during these feasts, whose name derives from the Chinook Jargon for "to make a gift." FTP, identify this custom observed by Franz Boas among the Kwakiutl.

...

The premise for this work was developed from Plato's Cratylus. This text argues that onomatopoeia and interjections are of "secondary importance, and their symbolic origin is open to dispute." Its final section deals with the relationship between syntagmatic and associative words. Its second section, "Linguistic Value," discusses the material and conceptual viewpoints, while the first section famously explains signs, signifiers, and the signified. Compiled from the lecture notes of its "author" by two of his students, FTP, identify this most important work of Ferdinand de Saussure.

The right-wing historian Keith Windschuttle sparked controversy by alleging that this group's history is a "fabrication." One group of these people was deported by George Arthur and George Robinson in the 1830s, and they were also the victims of the Forest River Massacre. William Cooper founded a "league" for these people, which organized the Day of Mourning to counter nationalist holidays. The Mabo decision overturned the "terra nullius" doctrine which said that they did not own land, and these practitioniers of "firestick farming" were also the victims of the "Stolen Generation." For 10 points, name these first inhabitants of such places as Victoria and Queensland.

They eventually split into two factions, primarily over the question of communal land ownership. One of those factions, the Sons of Freedom, would lead a series of nudist strikes.The major element in their life was "the gathering," at which large passages of the Book of Life would be read, and their leaders included a man named Silva and Peter Verigin who commanded a namesake rebellion. It was their refusal to be conscripted that led to their exile from the land they'd been given by Alexander I around the Sea of Azov. Originally called "Christians of the Universal Brotherhood," after they burned their weapons in an 1895 protest, their struggle and eventual emigration to Canada was supported by Leo Tolstoy. For 10 points, identify this Russian religious sect whose supposedly heretical beliefs led to them being given a name that translates as "Spirit Wrestlers."
