The "becoming-past" of places: Spacetime and memory in nineteenth-century, pre-Civil War New York: The Edward Westermarck Lecture, 2003
Coming on certain "neglected-unimproved" localities on the island's east side, Poe ([1844] 1929: 25-26) wrote of them for his New York newsletters to a Pennsylvania paper
The decline and fall of Richmond Hill: Commodification and place-change in late 18th-early 19th century New York
This essay focuses on the mutations of a place. It looks at some small disappearances involved in large urban transformations by examining how a notable New York place called 'Richmond Hill', an estate centered in an 18th-century Georgian-style mansion and the hill on which it stood, was embroiled over its lifetime in commodifying or monetizing practices. These practices worked their way through it over time via certain transformative (and potent…

The Cultural Anthropology of Time: A Critical Essay
Writing a review of the cultural anthropology of time is something like reading Borges's (19a) Book of Sand: as one opens this book, pages keep growing from it-it has no beginning or end. Borges's book could be taken as the spa ce of time: A page once seen is never seen again, and the book's harried possessors keep trying to escape its monstrous self-production by surrepti tiously selling or losing it. The diffuse, endlessly multiplying studies o…
Constructing Regional Worlds in Experience: Kula Exchange, Witchcraft and Gawan Local Events
The Fame of Gawa: A Symbolic Study of Value Transformation in a Massim
This article examines the complex interrelationship between fame, value, and social relations in Massim society, focusing on the renowned Kula ring. Through an analysis of the circulation of valuables, particularly shell necklaces and armbands, the authors demonstrate how the fame or renown (gawa) attached to these objects transforms their value and reinforces social hierarchies. The study explores how individual agency and social structures inte…

The fame of Gawa: A symbolic study of value transformation in a Massim (Papua New Guinea) society
The Spatiotemporal Transformations of Gawa Canoes
Examinant le cycle de la construction et de l'échange des pirogues à Gawa, île du nord-est de Massim, l'auteur l'analyse comme le déroulement d'un processus symbolique. Elle suggère qu'au cours de ce cycle qui va de la production à l'échange des pirogues, certaines transformations dans l'espace et dans le temps se produisent qui sont une recodification symbolique à chaque niveau des transformations de l'espace-temps « fermé » à l'intérieur de l'î…

Visual Categories: An Approach to the Study of Representational Systems1
The graphic representations of the central Australian Walbiri and supplementary comparative data are used to explore the general thesis that categorical analysis can be applied to representational systems. Certain features of the meaning ranges of typical Walbiri elements are examined and compared with those of pictorial elements from other systems. It is suggested that Walbiri tolemic designs, consisting of combinations of these elements, can fu…
