configurationism
type: Concept
definition: Most often associated with the work of Ruth Benedict (1887–1948),configurationism focuses on understanding phenomena as organized wholes rather than as aggregates of distinct parts. A reaction to European diffusionism, which dealt with isolated traits, configurationism instead stressed the integration of traits with the other elements of culture.
