The Sicilian Puppet Theater of Agrippino Manteo (1884–1947): The Paladins of France in America
Orphan Lines and Orphan Songs: Poetics and Pragmatics of Kmhmu Parallel Verse
The sung verse of Kmhmu highlanders involves a complex and unique system of pervasive canonical parallelism. "Reverse words" in the first member of a parallel set rhyme in a crosswise relation with their meaningful counterparts in the second member of the set. Within this system, some singers employ "orphan lines," where only the first member is sung, and listeners must guess what the meaningful line would be. Roman Jakobson's encouragement to ex…

Bamboo on the Mountains. Kmhmu Highlanders from Southeast Asia and the U.S
Peoples of the Gourd: Imagined Ethnicities in Highland Southeast Asia
Since its appearance in 1983, Benedict Anderson'sImagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalismhas taken on almost talismanic status, ritually invoked for its quasi-magical efficacy in thousands of scholarly discussions of nationalism and ethnicity. Anderson's book has given focus to a line of argument in which not only nationalism but also ethnicity are seen as reflexes of the Euroamerican colonial enterprise. Anderson…
Society of Lesbian and Gay Anthropologists: AAA Meeting (or: “Don't Wear Red)
We are all Kmhmu, just the same: Ethnonyms, Ethnic Identities, and Ethnic Groups
Ethnonyms (the names of ethnic groups), in their socially situated linguistic use, can offer insights into indigenous conceptions of the sociocultural universe. Here I examine the complex ethnonymic system of the Kmhmu of northern Laos and neighboring regions. Kmhmu is both an ethnonym and a common noun meaning "person" or "human"; I consider how the term is understood during the ongoing communicative work of the community. Kmhmu ethnonymic usage…

Puppet Voices and Interlocutors: Language in Folk Puppetry
FOLK PUPPETRY IS BOTH A PART OF and apart from folk drama. Folk drama, whether with puppet actors or human actors, has as its task the presentation of selected moments of human social life and selected forms of human communication, drawn from life as a multiform whole and communication as a multichanneled system. The traditional performer, whether puppeteer or actor, must combine a legacy of conventionalized conceptions of how people behave, how …
