  • Emotions and the Self A Theory of Personhood and Political Order Among Pintupi Aborigines

    F Myers, Fred R MyersCHAPTERThe Emotions2024

    Between 1973 and 1975 I did field work with the Pintupi at a settlement called Yayayi, 180 miles west of Alice Springs. 1 At this time, the Pintupi were no longer living a traditional hunting-gathering life in the desert; for the past 40 years, the Pintupi have been drifting eastward from the Gibson Desert homeland, although the majority “came in” the 200–400 miles to European missions or settlements between 1954 and 1966. They were living, then,…

  • Growing Up in Central Australia

    Dennis Brooks, David Brooks et al.BOOKGrowing up in Central Australia2022

    Surprisingly little research has been carried out about how Australian Aboriginal children and teenagers experience life, shape their social world and imagine the future. This volume presents recent and original studies of life experiences outside the institutional settings of childcare and education, of those growing up in contemporary Central Australia or with strong links to the region. Focusing on the remote communities – roughly 1,200 across…

  • Always Ask

    F Myers, Fred R MyersCHAPTERResource Managers2019

    This chapter addresses the relationship between boundaries, band organization, and territoriality through an individual oriented, processual approach to mobility, land use, and land ownership among Pintupi Aborigines of the Gibson Desert in Australia. Here territorial organization is not the division of people into discrete, mobile, permanent "bands." Rather, "bands" are fluctuating, on-the-ground residential groups that differ from "bands" as la…

  • The Anthropology of Art, After the End of Art

    E Kisin, F Myers et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Anthropology2019Citada por: 3Referencias: 102

    We focus on the anthropology of art from the mid-1980s to the present, a period of disturbance and significant transformation in the field of anthropology. The field can be understood to be responding to the destabilization of the category of "art" itself. Inaugural moments lie in the reaction to the Museum of Modern Art's 1984 exhibition "Primitivism" in 20th Century Art, the increasing crisis of representation, the influence of "postmodernism,"…

  • Collecting Aboriginal Art in the Australian Nation

    Open AccessF Myers, Fred R MyersARTICLEVisual Anthropology Review2005Citada por: 1Referencias: 12

    How Aboriginal acrylic painting came to be reframed as “high art” is an interesting ethnohistorical question. Scholars have traced the increasing frequency of the exhibition of Aboriginal Australian acrylic painting and the increasing emphasis on the framework of fine art and contemporary fine art in these exhibitions. Individual artists come prominently into attention, both in the press and also—eventually—with one‐person exhibitions. In this ar…

  • Unsettled Business

    F Myers, Fred R MyersARTICLEVisual Anthropology2004Citada por: 6Referencias: 30

    Acrylic painting in Australian Indigenous communities is one of the sites in which the conundrum of "tradition" is faced. While this painting has particularly challenged the conception of cultural traditions as bounded, its status has also been challenged in terms of authenticity; but I argue that a framework emphasizing culture-making is more productive. This article explores the scandals and rumors that have accompanied the movement of acrylic …
