  • David Murray Schneider (November 11, 1918, Brooklyn, New York - October 30, 1995, Santa Cruz, California) was an American cultural anthropologist, best known for his studies of kinship and as a major proponent of the symbolic anthropology approach to cultural anthropology. He received his B.S. in 1940 and his M.S. from Cornell University in 1941. He received his PhD in Social Anthropology from Harvard in 1949, based on fieldwork on the Micronesian island of Yap. After completing his graduate work, he first taught at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1960, he accepted a position at the University of Chicago, where he spent most of his career, teaching in Anthropology and the Committee on Human Development. He was Chairman of Anthropology from 1963 to 1966. While at Chicago, Schneider was director of the Kinship Project, a study supported by the National Science Foundation that looked at how middle-class families in the United States and Great Britain respond to their kinship relations. His findings challenged the common-sense assumption that kinship in Anglo-American cultures is primarily about recognizing biological relatedness. While a rhetoric of "blood" ties is an important conceptual structuring device in US and British kinship systems, cultural and social considerations are more important. The discoveries he demonstrated through a series of books, most famously American Kinship: a cultural account, revolutionized and revitalized the study of kinship within anthropology, on the one hand, and contributed to the theoretical basis of feminist anthropology, gender studies, and lesbian and gay studies, on the other. As a teacher, Schneider was also known for taking on and encouraging students studying nontraditional topics, and as a mentor to women and lesbian or gay graduate students, who often otherwise had difficulty finding mentors. After retiring from Chicago in 1986, he joined the anthropology department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he remained until his death in 1995.
  • David Schneider, né en 1918 à New York et décédé le 30 octobre 1995, est un anthropologue américain, ayant exercé une grande influence au sein de l'université de Chicago où il enseigne jusqu'en 1984. Il conduit des recherches de terrain à Yap en Micronésie. La plus grande partie de son travail s'est faite dans le champ des études de parenté. Il s'oppose notamment à l'approche structuraliste de la parenté que Lévi-Strauss présente dans Les Structures élémentaires de la parenté.
  • David M. Schneider, amerykański antropolog kulturowy. Pracownik Harvard University w Cambridge i University of California w Berkeley, od 1960 profesor antropologii University of Chicago. Był jednym z założycieli pisma "Cultural Anthropology". Jego głównym przedmiotem zainteresowań jest pokrewieństwo, którego nie postrzega jako systemu naturalnego opartego na uniwersalności więzów krwi, lecz jako system kulturowy z założenia przyjmujący różnorakie formy. Jego najbardziej znaną pracą było American Kinship: A Cultural Account. Skupiał się głównie na badaniach Amerykanów oraz Brytyjczyków. Wcześniejsze badania terenowe prowadził wśród ludu Yap. Amerykańskie Stowarzyszenie Antropologiczne (American Anthropological Association) przyznaje doroczną nagrodę jego imienia.
