Description

Antropologo americano. Nasce nel 1914 a Webster Groves (Missouri), studia nelle UniversitĂ  di Denver e dell’Arizona (master), conseguendo poi il dottorato alla Columbia University di New York (1942). Dal 1942 al 1946 Ăš arruolato nell’esercito, prima sul fronte europeo poi nel Pacifico. Al ritorno si stabilisce a Santa Fe, Nuovo Messico. Impegnato a osservare sul campo gli indiani Navajo, Hopi e Trukesi, gli ispano-americani di Nuovo Messico e America latina, gli arabi del Mediterraneo e gli iraniani, il suo approccio professionale non Ăš in linea con le tradizioni dell’antropologia classica. Egli non approfondisce alcuna cultura in particolare e, utilizzando estensivamente la linguistica, acquista notorietĂ  soprattutto per le sue ricerche e le sue pubblicazioni concernenti la ‘comunicazione interculturale’ e la ‘prossemica’ che preferisce rivolgere non tanto agli addetti ai lavori quanto al piĂč vasto pubblico. Responsabile dei programmi di formazione nel Foreign Service Institute agli inizi degli anni Cinquanta, introduce i diplomatici alle culture straniere con una metodologia che media tra esempi concreti e generalizzazioni strutturali. Ne emerge un’antropologia insieme viva e classica che ritroviamo, poi, in tutte le sue opere.Delle opere di H. si ricordano in particolare: Il linguaggio silenzioso, Bompiani, Milano 1969 (ed. orig. 1959); La dimensione nascosta, Bompiani, Milano 1968 (ed. orig. 1966); Handbook for proxemic research, Society for the Anthropology of Visual Communication, Washington (DC) 1974; Beyond culture, Anchor Press/Doubleday, Garden City (NY) 1976; The dance of life: the other dimension of time, Anchor Press/Doubleday, Garden City (NY) 1983; Hidden differences: doing business with the Japanese, Anchor Press/Doubleday, Garden City (NY) 1987; Understanding cultural differences, Intercultural Press, Yarmouth (ME) 1990; An anthropology of everyday life.
