Gouveia, Lourdes
State-sponsored programs of collectivization continue to gf!nerate a great deal of theory and policy debates. When Indian communities are involved inl such national programs, the debate acquires newer and even more complex dimensions which have not yet been adequately addre..ssed. In this paper, I examine a program of collective Empresas Indigenas organized in Venezuela in the early 1970s with particular focus on two of those empresas, Iargue that pre-existing forms of economic and social organization (whether traditional or inherited) are not necessarily contradictory with more compex forms of cooperation in production. In fact, these pre-existing arrangements often represent an important foundation for the transition to higher forms of collectivization. However this is not an automatic process and much depends on the particular approach that is used to effect the transition, as well as on contingent; external forces which impinge upon the development of these cooperatives.

Swan, L. Alex; Owens, M. Belinda
This paper identifies destiny-drivers, casual-cautious drivers, and socialoccasion drivers, as the primary participations in the driving environment, and argues that accidents occur when there is a breakdown in establishing joint-action" among and between these drivers. Leftlaners are also discussed within the context of the above designated drivers, and another potentially dangerous driver; the meditator, is introduced. The meditator is one who, for a variety of reasons, has some unresolved issue in contemplation. Other drivers emerging in the driving environment are dining-room, powder-room, library, and indicator drivers.
