    En hommage a la memoire d'Anthony Forge, l'A. se propose de mettre en evidence la fecondite des idees de Forge sur l'art dans les societes tribales et l'apport de sa critique du representationnalisme (vulgaire) pour l'anthropologie de l'art. Soutenant que l'illusion artistique est un element important dans la creation de types specifiques de connaissance et de conscience du surnaturel, il s'appuie sur les decouvertes de Forge sur l'ontologie et l…

  • Comparing Gender in Amazonia and Melanesia

    Thomas Gregor, Thomas A Gregor et al.CHAPTERGender in Amazonia and Melanesia2001

    This chapter explores the sources and theoretical implications of remarkable similarities between societies in Amazonia and Melanesia, a comparison which combines the universalist and localist traditions and is the base of anthropological studies. It establishes a common discourse among scholars working with different cultures, stimulates new perspectives on findings from particular cultures, and allows searching for general principles. The chapt…

  • The Anguish of Gender

    Thomas Gregor, Thomas A Gregor et al.CHAPTERGender in Amazonia and Melanesia2001

    There are remarkable resemblances between men's cults in Amazonia and Melanesia. The similarities include myths of matriarchy and role reversal; body imagery that merges male and female reproductive anatomy and physiology; rituals which assign generative, pseudoreproductive powers to men; hyperphallic cult objects in ritual; secrecy and constant vigilance against penetration of the cult by women and noninitiates; and terror and violence directed …

  • Gender in Amazonia and Melanesia

    Thomas Gregor, Thomas A Gregor et al.BOOKGender in Amazonia and Melanesia2001Cited by: 32

    One of the great riddles of cultural history is the remarkable parallel that exists between the peoples of Amazonia and those of Melanesia. Although the two regions are separated by half a world in distance and at least 40,000 years of history, their cultures nonetheless reveal striking similarities in the areas of sex and gender. In both Amazonia and Melanesia, male-female differences infuse social organization and self-conception. They are the …

  • Art and Procreative Illusion in the Sepik

    Open AccessDonald F Tuzin, Donald TuzinARTICLEOceania1995

    This essay extends Anthony Forge's ideas about the ‘unspoken meanings’ of Abelam ritual art, by testing them against cognate forms among the neighboring Ilahita Arapesh, and by invoking L.R. Hiatt's insights into ‘pseudo‐procreation rites’ among Australian Aborigines. It is argued that the meanings of Abelam visual art and Arapesh myth are comparably ineffable, and that in both cases this non‐verbal quality conduces to the expression of ideas tha…

  • The forgotten passion sexuality and anthropology in the ages of Victoria and Bronislaw

    Open AccessDonald F Tuzin, Donald TuzinARTICLEJournal of the History of the…1994

    British anthropology's mid-Victorian beginnings occurred amid widespread public interest in sexuality, domesticity, and the origins of the family. Scholarship on those topics, along with published traveller's tales and colonial expeditionary reports, contributed to the “sublimation of sensuality” that was characteristic of the era. Counter cultural movements of the fin de siècle ended the mid-century sexual repressions and sublimations. With the …
