Description
Leslie White writes that technology determines the evolution of culture and also that cultural development is determined by technology (C = Ex T) (White, 1949 p. 368, 369). Harris points out that infrastructural determinism describes the distinctions between mental and social behaviors. In particular, infrastructure (production and reproduction), structure (domestic and political economies) and superstructure (behavioral and mental) are the keywords of cultural materialism. The interface between nature and culture can be understood through infrastructural determinism (Harris, 1968, p. 5). In this approach ideational superstructure creates mental satisfaction and sense of safety when the people carry out their livelihood strategies. In this paper there are several research objects: how the Myanmar people in the field site connect with supernatural power for their success, who takes responsibility to communicate with these supernatural powers, and what the main reason is for interactions between humans, nature, and culture. In order to collect the data, three main methods were used: observation, participant observation and key informant interviews. When the research findings were composed, descriptive research design and case study methods were used. This research shows that technology is essential to community development and also that the ideational mental superstructure is necessary for the community members to enjoy mental and physical satisfaction and to live safely.
