Transactions in Kinship: Adoption and Fosterage in Oceania (Asao monograph ; no. 4)
A collection of essays that follows up on "Adoption in Eastern Oceania" by Vern Carroll. Most were presented at a symposium during the First Annual Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania (ASAO) meeting in 1972.
Poetics, Social Science
Poetics in an Aristotelian sense is a system of normative rules for composition. A more practical and theoretically useful definition is to see poetics as a collection of choices concerning style, composition, and thematics made at different levels by an author or a group. These choices help to determine (and are determined by) aesthetic and related representational interests in speech or writing, or both, that is, by poesis – the cognitive proce…
Other Places and the Anthropology of Ourselves: Early Fieldwork in Tuvalu
Asking for personal accounts of fieldwork forces a consideration of two important issues in anthropology: author-presence in ethnographic and analytic accounts and forms of ethnographic representation. Addressing both, I offer here an historical overview of my 1960s and 1970s fieldwork in the Pacific Islands country of Tuvalu in relation to (a) what I tried to accomplish at the time; (b) what actually worked out, what did not, and why; (c) what I…
Four Poems from Ivan Brady
Mohave Runner
Continuing the search for alternative forms of representation in anthropology and history that has marked most of my career, and believing that there is more than one way to see and to show things, and therefore to know them, this article both cuts through and combines key elements of anthropology, history, ethnography, fiction, and poetics. The data are ethnographically correct and the lines are metered. Imagination is the glue, in this case app…
Bad Desert Dream
Narrative Soup
The bricoleur principle in experimental social science writing need not be confined to mixing or blurring genres of subject matter and then representing the results in strictly conventional ways. Those messages are tied to forms of expression and the forms themselves can be manipulated creatively to open new modes of communicating experiences and knowledge and thereby potentially new dimensions for understanding the subject matter itself. Obvious…

In Defense of the Sensual: Meaning Construction in Ethnography and Poetics
Lack of closure in ethnography is less a problem of unknowables than plural "knowabilities" and the frustrations of choosing among them. Human beings are sensual and intellectual creatures who experience the world through that combination and whose corporeal existences are appropriated and molded by culture-the system of signs and meanings that defines for us the nature of the world and our place in it. Carving science or poetry out of this "made…

Social Responses During Severe Food Shortages and Famine [and Comments and Reply]
Although emergency food shortages and famines have been a prominent part of human experience for thousands of years and recur somewhere on our planet almost annually, data describing behavioral and organizational responses are few and scattered. Generalizations, when not speculative, tend to be vague and frequently contradictory. Practical, humanistic, and scientific concern with how people respond when overtaken by nutritional catastrophe provid…

Bridging Levels of Systemic Organization [and Comments and Reply]
The recent discussion relating the split-brain phenomenon in man to cognitive-behavioral correlates of interest to anthropologists (CURRENT ANTHROPOLOGY 17 [1-3]) raises a wider issue of profound importance to the growing field of neuro-anthropology. This is the question of how to bridge levels of systemic organization. This paper provides a solution to the problem via a consideration of the constraints placed on this process by one neuroanthropo…
