Ruth Benedict, American Anthropologist

Benedict at Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire, circa, 1920s. Ruth Benedict (born Ruth Fulton, June 5, 1887 - September 17, 1948) was an American anthropologist and folklorist. Franz Boas, her teacher and mentor, has been called the father of American anthropology and his teachings and point of view are clearly evident in Benedict's work. She became the first woman to be recognized as a prominent leader of a learned profession. She studied the relationships between personality, art, language and culture, insisting that no trait existed in isolation or self-sufficiency, a theory which she championed in her 1934 Patterns of Culture. Benedict was among the leading cultural anthropologists who were recruited by the US Government for war-related research and consultation after US entry into World War II. Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict are considered to be the two most influential and famous women anthropologists of their time. After Benedict died of a heart attack in 1948, Mead kept the legacy of Benedict's work going by supervising projects that Benedict would have looked after, and editing and publishing notes from studies that Benedict had collected throughout her life.

Título:
Ruth Benedict, American Anthropologist
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Benedict en el lago Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire, alrededor de la década de 1920. Ruth Benedict (nacida Ruth Fulton, 5 de junio de 1887 - 17 de septiembre de 1948) fue una antropóloga y folclorista estadounidense. Franz Boas, su maestro y mentor, ha sido llamado el padre de la antropología estadounidense y sus enseñanzas y puntos de vista son claramente evidentes en el trabajo de Benedict. Se convirtió en la primera mujer en ser reconocida como líder prominente de una profesión erudita. Estudió las relaciones entre la personalidad, el arte, el lenguaje y la cultura, insistiendo en que ningún rasgo existía de forma aislada o autosuficiente, una teoría que defendió en su libro Patterns of Culture de 1934. Benedict fue una de las principales antropólogas culturales que fueron reclutadas por el gobierno de los EE. UU. para la investigación y la consulta relacionadas con la guerra después de la entrada de Estados Unidos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Margaret Mead y Ruth Benedict son consideradas las dos antropólogas más influyentes y famosas de su tiempo. Después de que Benedict muriera de un ataque cardíaco en 1948, Mead mantuvo vivo el legado del trabajo de Benedict supervisando proyectos que Benedict habría supervisado y editando y publicando notas de estudios que Benedict había recopilado a lo largo de su vida.
