Name and Social Structure - Examples From Southeast Europe: Paul H. Stahl 1998 Name and Social Structure: Examples from Southeast Europe by Paul H. Stahl (1998) explores the intricate relationship between names and social structures in the context of Southeast European societies. Drawing on anthropological and sociological frameworks, Stahl examines how names serve as more than mere identifiers, functioning as key components of social organization, identity, and cultural heritage in the region. The book delves into the historical, linguistic, and social dimensions of naming practices in Southeast Europe, offering a comparative analysis across different ethnic, cultural, and religious communities. Stahl investigates how names reflect hierarchical structures, kinship relationships, social roles, and political affiliations, shedding light on the ways in which names have been used to assert power, mark social status, and reinforce traditional customs. Through case studies and examples from various Southeast European societies, Name and Social Structure provides an in-depth look at how naming practices are intricately tied to social processes and group identities. The work is a valuable resource for scholars of anthropology, sociology, linguistics, and Southeast European studies, offering insights into the intersection of personal identity and collective social structures in this culturally diverse region.
