  • This article analyses the early ethnographies of Mediterranean societies. These were carried out in the 1950s and 1960s and mainly written by researchers (PhD candidates) from the University of Oxford. Although initially there was no project to create a specific research field on the Mediterranean, these ethnographies have many common features. Far from the contested subject of honour and shame, this article maintains that other issues characterise these works-for example, they could be presented as ethnographies of the disappearing Mediterranean rural world. Finally, we will try to locate the texts on the North-South axis that existed in anthropology at that time.
