After the Cult: Perceptions of Other and Self in West New Britain (Papua New Guinea)
In many parts of the world the "white man" is perceived to be an instigator of globalization and an embodiment of modernity. However, so far anthropologists have paid little attention to the actual heterogeneity and complexity of "whiteness" in specific ethnographic contexts. This study examines cultural perceptions of other and self as expressed in cargo cults and masked dances in Papua New Guinea. Indigenous terms, images, and concepts are bein…

Beyond Globalisation and Localisation: Denominational Pluralism in a Papua New Guinean Village
Based on fieldwork in 1990–1 and 1995–6 in Pairundu (Papua New Guinea), the paper examines local Christianity as a form of local modernity which results from processes of mutual influence between the global and the local. So far, scholars have stressed opposed, but complementary aspects of such processes (the disappearance of cultural differences versus their increase, people attempting to break with tradition versus people acting in continuity w…

Pathways to Heaven: Contesting Mainline and Fundamentalist Christianity in Papua New Guinea
Holger Jebens's Pathways to Heaven examines the complex interplay of globalization, modernization, and Christianity in Papua New Guinea. Focusing on the village of Pairundu, Jebens explores the tensions and conflicts arising from the introduction of globalized forms of fundamentalism. The villagers, initially Catholic converts, experienced a charismatic movement before younger generations began converting to the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. This…

Vali Did That Too: On Western and Indigenous Cargo Discourses in West New Britain (Papua New Guinea)
I thank Hartmut Zinser (Berlin) and Karl-Heinz Kohl (Frankfurt am Main) for their invitations to present the lectures on which this text is based, as well as the audiences for the stimulating discussion. Fr. Hans J. Limburg and Fr. Hans Pitruff helped me with access to the MSC archives and libraries in Münster and Hiltrup. Without Karl-Heinz Kohl, I would not have been engaged by the New School of Social Research (2001–2002), which was essential …
Signs of the Second Coming: On Eschatological Expectation and Disappointment in Highland and Seaboard Papua New Guinea
In Papua New Guinea it is widely believed that soon the biblically prescribed Second Coming of Jesus will end the world in its present state. This paper intends to examine the occurrence, change, and spread of apocalyptic narratives. I will summarize which eschatological signs have been pointed out to me in Pairundu (Southern Highlands Province) and how they were looked upon five years later. Surprisingly, subsequent fieldwork in Koimumu(West New…
