The ‘how’ of anthropology
First Fieldwork
First Fieldwork: Pacific Anthropology, 1960 – 1985 explores what a generation of anthropologists experienced during their first visits to the field at a time of momentous political changes in Pacific island countries and societies and in anthropology itself. Answering some of the same how and why questions found in Terence E. Hays’ Ethnographic Presents: Pioneering Anthropologists in the Papua New Guinea Highlands (1993), First Fieldwork begins w…

Remembering Papua New Guinea an Eccentric Ethnography William C. Clarke Canberra
William C. Clarke weaves together the layers of experience that confronted him 30 years earlier as he looked back at the slides he had taken in 1964 during his fieldwork as a geographer among the Maring people of Papua New Guinea. Moving between his personal memories and his current disciplinary assessment of Maring horticulture, he creates a work which he calls An Eccentric Ethnography [italics]. Responding to Clarke's juxtaposition of text and …

Structuring visual materials
As institutions such as the Institute for Scientific Film in Göttingen, Germany, look back on their accomplishments and look forward to what their role may be in the future, it is worthwhile to untangle some of the strands involved in the practice of "visual anthropology" and to clarify our thinking on the shared and distinctive characteristics of ethnographic films and of visual research material

Patterns of daily life in the dance of the Maring of New Guinea
Patterns of spatial use and synchrony; as documented in research footage deposited in the Human Studies Film Archives, Smithsonian Institution, are used to characterize the underlying Maring movement style and to relate two basic forms of Maring dance to different spheres of Maring daily life. Maring social organization, as described verbally in written ethnography, is linked to observable movement characteristics. Similarities are found between …

An Experiment in Looking
In Autumn I985 Allison Jablonko, an anthropologist, and Elizabeth Kagan, a certified movement analyst and choreographer, set out to explore the possibility of using Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) to derive meaning from archival footage of the Maring people of Papua New Guinea.1 We wished to broaden the analysis of Maring movement style which Jablonko had completed in 1967 (Jablonko 1968a). Because it had been designed for an anthropological audien…

Since 1870, the year in which the nation's political unification was completed, the unity of anthropological disciplines has been recognized in principe and reflected in the programs of learned societies, specialized museums, sc…

Socio-Ecological Change Among the Fore of New Guinea [and Comments and Replies]
Historical reconstruction based on contemporary evidence shows that adoption of the sweet potato by the Fore approximately a century ago set in motion a series of events that transformed their institutions and natural surroundings. As the consequences of this act unraveled, the Fore moved to virgin lands, their population increased, the character of the living space they occupied was altered, and they were confronted with new kinds of social and …
