The Unbearable Likeness of Being: Children, Teddy Bears and The Sooty Show
Like Lascaux palaeolithic cave art, the playroom landscapes of many Euro-American pre-school children betray the ubiquity of animal representations in Western culture. Providing some understanding of why it is that adults engender and utilize animal-based models for children — and most especially why bears occupy a privileged place in this pantheon — is now very much a multi-disciplinary endeavour. The ‘teddy bear’motif pervades and is culturally…
Social and Environmental Impact Analysis
With the ascendancy of project‐financing institutions and greater emphasis on social auditing by multinational resource developers, social and environmental impact analysis (S&EA) has moved squarely away from a peripheral discretionary activity to an almost universal regulatory compliance process for medium‐to‐large‐scale interventions. This entry explores the nature and scope of S&EA in respect to who undertakes such research, how it is carried …
Anatomical Terms in Huli Names and Games
This paper seeks to analyse the anatomical nomenclature of the Huli by extending the frame of reference to inch& culturally organised sets of behaviours having in common ‘talk about the body’. The focus is on eliciting the distinctive elements of sounds, forms, and substitution patterns as the system which underlies these behaviours. It is suggested that the logic of body terms in Huli is not grounded in universal classificatory predispositions, …
The Anthropology of Cannibalism
Using new case data from South American, Australian, and Papua New Guinean societies, the authors explore how cultural ideas for humanity are reflected in seemingly universal understandings of our potential for anthropophagy. Whether or not a society actually practices cannibalism, these conceptions are often articulated at the level of folklore and myth, where flesh-eating is imbued with symbolic meanings centered on ideas about regeneration aft…
Imagining Identities: Mimetic Constructions in Huli Child Fantasy Play
This article presents an ethnographic analysis of object and role transformations in the social pretend play of Huli (Papua New Guinea) children. It focuses on how these child actors enact their understandings of the relation between language, gender and identity, and the conversational means by which they monitor authenticity in role reproduction, assignation and appropriation. From an examination of the levels of discontinuity in findings for W…
The Sooty Show Laid Bear: Children, Puppets and Make-Believe
This article seeks to examine the complex nature of pretence as portrayed in a popular UK children's television puppet show. Central to the various theoretical concerns with make-believe - philosophical, psychological and lucid - has been the phenomenological axis of the `real-imaginary'. Because of the serial types of transformations undertaken by characters in the programme and the reliance placed on natural models of conversation, the problema…

Make-Believe Play among Huli Children: Performance, Myth, and Imagination
A Huli aphorism says, Real don't make children's talk, or the games agoba kiruba [which hand is it in?] or mbola tola [exploding mud balls]. In much the same way that Huli men don't like children, in anthropology a view has prevailed that real anthropologists don't study children's (Norbeck 1974; Schwartzman 1976; New 1994). Children's voices have by and large received only perfunctory consideration in ethnographies and the profile of child as a …
The Culture of Coincidence: Accident and Absolute Liability in Huli
Professor Al.L. Epstein: Foreword. Introduction. 1: Accident and absolute liability in anthropology. 2: Talking with and through accident. 3: Questions of intent and the intent of questions. 4: Synergy and ideology in the linguistic structuring of 'murder' and 'misfortune'. 5: Fate and fortuity: perspectives on 'mind' and 'person'. 6: Transcript
Ethnographic interpretations of parent-child discourse in Huli
This paper seeks to account for a culturally patterned set of analogic renamings found in Huli baby talk, nursery rhymes and children's verbal games. These socialization activities evidence a marked concern with body motifs and appellations. In accordance with ethnographic paradigms of explanation, the frame of reference is broadened to include consideration of inter-adult behaviour involving ‘talk about the body’ to assess what is being learnt f…
