Ritual
Ritual, like kinship, has made a powerful comeback in anthropological theorizing and in ethnographic accounts. Beginning with an assessment of earlier studies on ritual, the chapter then moves on to the significance of rituals in peace and conflict studies, religious change, disaster studies, and nation-state politics. It goes on to discuss rituals as mediating between prelinguistic and linguistically articulated experiences. The chapter’s aim is…

Divorce
Divorce emerges as a phenomenon in counterpoint to marriage, both terms representing processes or phases of interaction punctuated by moments of completion and transition to further phases. We can make an initial distinction between divorce, viewed as undoing of preceding phases, and marriage, viewed as prospective of moving into a new relationship. Both divorce and marriage may carry different meanings depending on the wider culture in which the…

Dreaming and Ghosts among the Hagen and Duna of the Southern Highlands, Papua New Guinea
According to many people, including Papua New Guineans, dreams allow communication with the dead, spirits, and deities. An examination of dream narratives provides a window through which to view the social life-worlds of people, perceptions of self and personhood between the genders and otherwise, and patterns of thinking. The literature on dream research and the scientific or psychological interpretation of dreaming and dreams is very extensive …
Shifting Places, Contested Spaces
This paper considers the contemporary problematics surrounding the identification of persons with land which is one of the central features of Pacific societies. The movements of people and conflicts of control over land and other resources in the context of emergent capitalism have produced these problematics. A local contrast is drawn between the Western and Southern Highlands Provinces in Papua New Guinea in terms of two historical moments: tr…

Making Twos
Melpa-speaking children do very poorly on cognitive tasks, in general, and as compared to children from another traditional society in Papua New Guinea. Causes for this difference are sought in an analysis of the tasks which shows them to require a taxonomic strategy for successful performance and in an analysis of the folk taxonomies of the respective societies which shows them to vary in complexity. Further study of Melpa representation reveals…

Migration and Transformations
In this work on migration in New Guinea, migration is seen as the total circulation of people, objects, ideas and ritual complexes across, as well as within, cultural boundaries. The essays discuss how processes of flow have a transformative effect on the constitution of cultural groups themselves
