Předmětem studie je antropologie těla jako samostatné antropologické oblasti. Autoři rozlišili organickou a kulturní dimenzi lidského těla. Antropologie zkoumá tělo na třech strukturálních úrovních, které odpovídají třem hlavním typům kulturních prvků: artefakty, normy a významy. Vymezené úrovně lze s ohledem na antropologii těla uchopit prostřednictvím procesů úpravy, disciplinace a semiotizace těla., The object of the paper is anthropology of the body as a branch of anthropology as such. The authors distinguish between or- ganic and cultural dimension of the human body. Anthropology examines the body on three structural levels, which correspond to the three main types of cultural elements: artifacts, norms and meanings. Concerning the framework of anthropology of the body, the defi ned levels can be studied by means of modifi cation, disciplination and semiotization processes., Martin Soukup, Michaela Balcerová, and Literatura
The ants of the genus Protalaridris are revised based upon their morphology. Seven species are recognized; the type species (P. armata Brown, 1980) and six species described as new: P. aculeata Lattke & Alpert, sp. n., P. arhuaca Guerrero, Lattke & Alpert, sp. n., P. bordoni Lattke, sp. n., P. leponcei Delsinne & Lattke, sp. n., P. loxanensis Lattke, sp. n., and P. punctata Lattke, sp. n. The genus is patchily distributed in mesic forested areas from western Panama to northern Venezuela and along the Andes to the Amazon watershed of southwestern Peru. The generic description is modified to accommodate a short-mandibulate species. Sporadic biological observations of one long-mandibulate species suggest they are sit-and-wait ambush predators that open their jaws to approximately 180° when stalking. All species are described and imaged, an identification key and a distribution map is provided. Comparing the mandibular morphology of long-mandibulate Protalaridris with other extant and extinct ants bearing elongate, dorsoanterior arching mandibles suggests the supposed mandibular apex in these taxa is actually a hypertrophied, preapical tooth and their supposed basal mandibular tooth is the main mandibular shaft., John E.
