Water as Country on the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, South Australia
Anangu, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people living in the north-western areas of South Australia, conceptualize changes in the surface of land as evincing the presence of Ancestral power. Rain is one such catalyst of change, though it is by no means a certainty on the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. When it does appear, water does not stay long on the surface: it is shimmering and unstable. This chapter examines the nature of various …
What Do Museum Objects Want? Re‐Thinking Photographic Conventions In Ethnographic Museums
This paper critiques the visual conventions applied to the photography of ethnographic museum collection objects. To “think photographically” in a museum collection, I draw a productive parallel between my fieldwork with Indigenous women artists in central Australia, and photography of poorly documented museum collection objects. I explore the presence of an intersubjective affective gaze in the central Australian Indigenous art works which is am…
In the red: Substances and materials in the Australian Western Desert
This article discusses the diversity, distribution, and qualities of materials and substances categorized as red among Pitjantjatjara- and Yankunytjatjara-speaking Western Desert Aboriginal people: Anangu. Valued red materials and substances include elements of the encultured landscape - country - such as ochre, timber, food, blood, and fire, alongside cloth and other industrially produced materials. Previous scholarship defines reds among centra…
Helen Hester, Xenofeminism
Th is text looks at the early Communist intellectual movement in Slovakia (in an area that, for part of the time under discussion, was affi liated with the the Hungarian Soviet Republic) organized around the journal Kassai Munkás (Th e Košice Worker).By placing this movement in the context of the development of Western Marxism and the incipient Marxist aesthetics of György Lukács, who was among those who published in the journal, the paper charac…
Color
Although colors are central to our cultural and social interactions with the world, color is a topic that has more often been pushed to the periphery of anthropological study. This entry outlines an anthropology of colors by tracing approaches to color, from interests in perception, linguistics, color naming, evolutionary theories, and semiotics through to the more recent resurgence in material culture studies and the sensorial turn in anthropolo…
Deaconess Winifred Hilliard and the cultural brokerage of the Ernabella craft room
Deaconess Winifred Hilliard arrived at the Presbyterian Ernabella mission craft room in far north-west South Australia in 1954 to work as a qualified missionary. She was 33.1 Her job: to work among Pitjantjatjara women as the 'handcraft supervisor' at the mission
Bio-Inspired Design of Soft Robotic Assistive Devices: The Interface of Physics, Biology, and Behavior
Wearable assistive robotic devices are characterized by an interface, a meeting place of living tissue and mechanical forces, at which potential and kinetic energy are converted to one or the other form. Ecological scientists may make important contributions to the design of device interfaces because of a functional perspective on energy and information exchange. For ecological scientists, (a) behavioral forms are an assembly of whole functional …
Mutable things: Colours as material practice in the northwest of South Australia
This article details the material colour practices of A n angu (Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people) living in the east of the Western Desert, to show how coloured things have been instrumental in remaking their lives post contact with the colonizers. I argue here that 'colour' is a cultural invention. Brightly coloured things, such as cloth and paints, were eagerly appropriated by Aboriginal people when these were imported during the colon…

The Colours of Things
Water as Country on the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands South Australia
Anangu, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people living in the north-western areas of South Australia conceptualize changes in the surface of land as evincing the presence of ancestral power. Rain is one such catalyst of change, though it is by no means a certainty on the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. When it does appear, water does not stay long on the surface: it is shimmering and unstable. This paper examines the nature of various wat…
The Material Value of Color: The Estate Agent's Tale
This article is based on research of estate agents' advice to residential vendors and landlords in inner London. The article discusses the point when the potential value of the property is geared up for realization. In this process the value is assessed by the agent as lying in the “presentation” of the property. This is paradoxical in that the materiality of the dwelling where much of its agency lies, is idealized as “neutral.” Color devalues, o…
Women's Perceptions of Health Care in Prison
Fifteen female inmates' perceptions of medical care and the manner in which treatment is provided are explored through individual interviews in a state prison. The women did not hold exclusively negative or positive views about the care and treatment they received; however, the predominant view was negative. Examples of inadequate medical care are described by 14 of the 15 women. Nonempathetic treatment, such as being treated as if undeserving of…
