Some anthropologists, such as Lloyd Fallers and Clifford Geertz, focused on processes of modernization by which newly independent states could develop.

Authors such as David Schneider, Clifford Geertz, and Marshall Sahlins developed a more fleshed-out concept of culture as a web of meaning or signification, which proved very popular within and beyond the discipline.

* 1926 – Clifford Geertz, American anthropologist ( d. 2006 )

The anthropologist Clifford Geertz defined religion as a " system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing these conceptions with such an aura of factuality that the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic.

** " Geertz's primordialism ", notably espoused by anthropologist Clifford Geertz, argues that humans in general attribute an overwhelming power to primordial human " givens " such as blood ties, language, territory, and cultural differences.

As ethnography developed, anthropologists grew more interested in less tangible aspects of culture, such as values, worldview and what Clifford Geertz termed the " ethos " of the culture.

However, the Cabal Ministry they formed can hardly be seen as such ; the Scot Lauderdale was not much involved in English governance at all, while the Catholic ministers of the Cabal ( Clifford and Arlington ) were never much in sympathy with the Protestants ( Buckingham and Ashley ).

He had a small, basic golf facility installed at Camp David, and became close friends with the Augusta National Chairman Clifford Roberts, inviting Roberts to stay at the White House on several occasions ; Roberts, an investment broker, also handled the Eisenhower family's investments.

By late 1166, and the birth of her final child, however, Henry's notorious affair with Rosamund Clifford had become known, and her marriage to Henry appears to have become terminally strained.

A geometric algebra is the Clifford algebra of a vector space over the field of real numbers endowed with a quadratic form.

Given a finite dimensional real quadratic space with quadratic form, the geometric algebra for this quadratic space is the Clifford algebra Cℓ ( V, Q ).

The case could be solved when Clifford Stoll, a scientist working as a system administrator, found ways to log the attacks and to trace them back ( with the help of many others ).

Money-Coutts commissioned and provided him with librettos for the opera Henry Clifford and for a projected trilogy of Arthurian operas.

A widely related story, attributed to Richard ( Prophet ) Jennings was that Davis, while in Detroit playing at the Blue Bird club as a guest soloist in Billy Mitchell's house band along with Tommy Flanagan, Elvin Jones, Betty Carter, Yusef Lateef, Barry Harris, Thad Jones, Curtis Fuller and Donald Byrd stumbled into Baker's Keyboard Lounge out of the rain, soaking wet and carrying his trumpet in a paper bag under his coat, walked to the bandstand and interrupted Max Roach and Clifford Brown in the midst of performing Sweet Georgia Brown by beginning to play My Funny Valentine, and then, after finishing the song, stumbled back into the rainy night.

Specifically, spinors are objects associated to a vector space with a quadratic form ( like Euclidean space with the standard metric or Minkowski space with the Lorentz metric ), and are realized as elements of representation spaces of Clifford algebras.

In detail, if V is a finite-dimensional complex vector space with nondegenerate bilinear form g, the Clifford algebra is the algebra generated by V along with the anticommutation relation.

The Lie algebra is embedded as a Lie subalgebra in equipped with the Clifford algebra commutator as Lie bracket.

In general, a quick check of the Clifford relations reveals that even-graded elements conjugate-commute with ordinary vectors:

In this way, the spinor representations are identified with certain subspaces of the Clifford algebra itself.
