| Research Abstract |
In animal research, social categories are expressed mainly in binary oppositions such as male / female, dominant / subordinate, etc.. This project aims to study how, if ever, such dichotomies are organized in actual social interactions, where history of research itself is not the exception. Thus, field studies of social interaction among chimpanzees and chimpanzee-human and also literature study were conducted. Social interactions in situ were creative and cooperative once it started and social categories were not necessarily dichotomic and appearing fluidly. Moreover, main shaft in the procedure of the interaction could be on framing of activity itself (what to do) and not on organizing such categories.
