The Unity of Hunting-Gathering Societies: Reflections on Economic Forms and Resource Management
The study of food-collectingsocieties has become a mainstream interest in anthropology since the "Man the Hunter" conference in Chicago in 1966. Evolutionary theory had largely been discredited as a useful framework for the analysis of human societies by about 1920; it was tainted with racism, colonialism, and the belief that certain groups of living human beings represented "primitive" or "early" forms of society. The distinctions discussed conc…
Gender and Ethnographic Film
Ethnographic film emerged in the first part of the twentieth century in parallel with social/cultural anthropology. Like documentary cinema, it was understood to offer an objective representation in a scientific frame. Ethnographic film reflected the same masculinist sensibility as did anthropology more generally, and its representation of gender was unquestioned until the 1970s. Thereafter ethnographic films began to appear with women as their c…
Gender and Cinema, Anthropological Approaches to
Gender is deeply embedded in filmmaking and film viewing. While national and cultural elements affect the representations of gender, common factors arise due to prevailing technologies and commercial imperatives. Hollywood cinema has been formative in the history of world cinemas and has set the parameters of common gender discourse. Other major cinemas, notably in China and India, differ in key respects from the Hollywood norm and offer cultural…

Renovated: Gender and Cinema in Contemporary Vietnam
This article discusses the changes in Vietnamese cinema from the Socialist to the contemporary period from the viewpoint of gender representation. Under socialist conditions of cultural production, films were made by state-funded studios, with a clear mandate to provide the population with film material appropriate to the state's ideals. Since Doi moi (“Renovation”) in the late 1980s, Vietnam was opened up to market forces and cinematic practices…
Performing Identities: Two Chinese Rites in Southern Thailand
The cults and ritual practices of the Sino-Thai communities of southern Thailand are a distinctive aspect of a region in which Chinese heritage has a high degree of social significance. Chinese came to the Malay Peninsula in several waves; many settlers arrived as early as the sixteenth century, and others flooded into the region to work in tin-mines and rubber plantations in the nineteenth century. Although now “Thai” in many respects, the desce…

Cultures Crossing: Past and Future of Cinema in Socialist South East Asia
The emergence of ‘global culture’ has been taken to indicate the end of distinctive local cultural forms, especially with regard to cinema. The focus on Western screen cultures, however, does not do justice to the complexity of Asian cultural production; nor does it consider the different role that local filmmaking may take in non-Western contexts. This paper considers the very small national film industries in three of the ‘socialist’ nations of…
Reflections on the ‘Disappearing Sakai’: A Tribal Minority in Southern Thailand
The minority tribal groups in the border zones of Southern Thailand (the ‘Sakai’) are often described as ‘disappearing’ demographically while the inability to ‘know’ them at first hand by successive interested parties (the colonial explorer, the naturalist, the government official) has been attributed to their ability to disappear into the jungle, seemingly without a trace. This paper discusses the way the ‘Sakai’ have faded in and out of ethnolo…

Snugglepot and Cuddlepie Revisited: A Response to Chris Eipper
Beyond Anthropology, Towards Actuality 1
Anthropology in Australia is at a critical juncture. This paper discusses the way in which the discipline has been challenged at the institutional level, in part due to pressures arising from economic rationalisation within universities. Anthropology, however, must take some responsibility for its condition. Psychology has established itself as the primary ‘human’ discipline to provide qualifications appropriate for professional employment. At a …
State's Margins, People's Centre: Space and History in the Southern Thai Jungles
Introduction Nomadic foraging peoples, with their varying life-ways, may be taken as representative of the kinds of human-ecological adjustment that was common prior to the development and spread of horticultural-agricultural systems. This is not to claim that existing `nomads' should be seen as relies, or leftovers, in a framework of evolutionary development. (1) Nomadic forms of reproduction may, for example, arise where peoples are excluded fr…

Territoriality Among Human Foragers: Ecological Models and an Application to Four Bushman Groups [and Comments and Reply]
Cost-benefit models derived from evolutionary ecology have led to the general expectation that territoriality will be found where resources are most abundant and predictable. Literature sources for four Bushman groups, however, indicate that the most territorial of these groups are found where resources are sparsest and most variable. This paper has as its aim the extension of the animal models of territoriality to make them more widely applicabl…
Hospital morbidity among Aboriginal Australians in New South Wales
This study examines data from 15,172 episodes of hospitalization pertaining to Aboriginal Australians discharged from public and private hospitals in New South Wales during 1978. Morbidity patterns revealed provide quantitative evidence on a whole population basis for the often impressionistic statements of those dealing with limited areas or with specific diseases. Respiratory diseases are by far the most common and their occurrence seems to be …

Aborigines in the Northern Territory Cattle Industry
Perhaps nowhere in Australia have working and living conditions for Aborigines been so bad as on Northern Territory cattle stations. Though the Aborigines{u2019} skill in handling cattle is acknowledged by their white employers, rarely have they gained recognition in any material way. None were paid full wages, many were fortunate if they received any cash wages at all, almost all lived in appalling conditions, and many were subjected to physical…
