L’isomorphisme exotique et la difficulté à périodiser les œuvres des sociétés autochtones
« Par vocation, l’ethnologue n’accorde valeur et signification qu’à des changements perceptibles à un observateur très éloigné. [...] Dans vingt ans, notre peinture, notre littérature et notre musique auront sans doute subi une évolution appréciable, du point de vue d’un observateur appartenant à la société qui les aura engendrés. Mais il est au moins douteux qu’un observateur plus reculé dans le temps et dans l’espace fasse la même constatation.…
Aesthetics Versus Knowledge: An Ambiguous Mixture of Genres in Visual Anthropology
Visual anthropology is both a descriptive and an aesthetic endeavor. Filmed ethnography, for example, is a powerful scientific tool for documenting reality, but it is also often used to express anthropologist-filmmakers' personal artistic visions. This mixture of science and aesthetics has indirectly but deeply influenced anthropological theory, and has also contributed to visual anthropology's unclear definition in academia since it constitutes …
From fertility rituals to mining companies: Eco-cultural issues and land rights in Oksapmin
This paper describes the Oksapmin representations of land ownership related to the frame of the water use permit payment process, engaged by Porgera Joint Venture (PJV) as a consequence of the ecological impact of the mine operations on the Lagaip-Strickland basin. Even if the Oksapmin society has been fully evangelized during the last two generations, the landowners have recently stressed the pre-contact exegesis in the claims against that forei…
Where Anthropologists Fear to Tread: Notes and Queries on Anthropology and Consultancy, Inspired by a Fieldwork Experience
More and more, anthropologists are recruited as consultants by government departments, companies or as observers of development processes in their field areas generally. Although these roles can be very gratifying, they can create ambiguous situations for the anthropologists who find that new pressures and responsibilities are placed upon them for which their training did not prepare them. This volume explores some of the problems, opportunities,…

Le donneur, le receveur et la sage femme. Échanges de cochons à Oksapmin (Papouasie Nouvelle-Guinée)
Le cochon en Papouasie Nouvelle-Guinée joue un rôle important dans la cosmologie des villageois, dans les pratiques agricoles, mais aussi dans les relations d’échange entre groupes sociaux. Dans cet article nous proposons d’étudier, dans une société des Hautes terres, à Oksapmin, d’une part la place du cochon dans la mythologie et dans les cérémonies traditionnelles, puis nous nous penchons sur les pratiques d’élevage (quantité et variétés de coc…
Afek's Last Son: Integrating Change in a Papua New Guinean Cosmology
This article explains millenarism as a cultural response to a range of social, economic, and ecological changes that occurred during the past few centuries in Oksapmin society. The assumption is that Oksapmin cosmology has always been dynamic and self-innovating toward both endogenous and exogenous factors of change, tending to integrate emergent elements by modifying its inner structure and outer practice. The following analysis focuses on four …
