First Cow , a film directed by Kelly Reichardt, based on the novel The Half-Life by Jonathan Raymond

The Fate of the Senses in Ethnographic Modernity
This chapter suggests that modernity has two opposed and sometimes contradictory discourses regarding the sensory Imaginary in the museological tradition. It makes use of Latour's notion of the imbroglio, particularly the issue of commensurability and translation, to describe the creation of an exhibition about Pacific peoples at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. This analysis will also extend Latour's concepts to suggest that i…
M ead, M argaret (1901–78)
Margaret Mead (1901–78) was an American anthropologist who became a public figure early in her career because of her contributions to debates about the nature of sexuality and gender. Her field studies were conducted in many parts of the world but particularly in Oceania, and one of her most significant studies was published early in her career, Coming of Age in Samoa (1928). After her death this work was attacked by Derek Freeman, an Australian …

Compte rendu de Notes on the cognitive texture of an oral mind
This volume is the third monograph by Giancarlo Scoditti on Nowau culture, following Kitawa. A Linguistic and Aesthetic Analysis of Visual Art in Melanesia (1990) and Kitawa Oral Poetry: An Example from Melanesia (1996). In this volume Scoditti continues his long-term analysis of the island of Kitawa in the Milne Bay area of Papua New Guinea, with a particular focus on the aesthetic composition of Nowau cultural artefacts both visual and verbal. …
The Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art
The Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art is one of Australia's leading contemporary exhibitions and a major event on the biennale world calendar. Begun in 1993, the eighth triennial opened in November 2015 and is the only biennale to focus solely on the Asia-Pacific region, a vast area, which, in this event, can range from the eastern edge of the Pacific to Turkey. This critical review evaluates the significance of the triennial for Queensl…
The Anthropologist’s Voice
This chapter is dedicated, as is this book, to the memory of Don Tuzin, a great anthropologist who studied the Arapesh-speaking village of Ilahita in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea. If I seem, at times, to be a wayward admirer, critiquing as well as giving homage, I hope that this will be taken in the spirit meant-as an essay presented in the absence of a great talk with Don, usually a brief time out from the chatter of professional meeting…

Anthony's Feast
In this essay I take up a major theme in the work of Anthony Forge: the relationship between word and image. Focusing on the problem of what the Abelam say (or do not say) about the design elements in masculine initiation rites, I explore the relationship between language and the exchange relations that are involved in the ceremony. While the Abelam have no explicit way of explaining the design elements, initiation involves a constructed and aest…
Introduction
Object thing placed before eyes or presented to sense, material thing, thing observed with an optical instrument, or represented in picture. ( Concise Oxford Dictionary 1934:780)
What Do Abelam Images Want from Us
In this paper I compare two origin myths, one from the Abelam speaking area of the Sepik region, Papua New Guinea, the other, the allegory of Plato's Cave found in The Republic. I explore the effects which each of these different conceptions of iconography and aesthetics has on the other when they intersect. I argue that fieldwork itself can be looked at as a hybrid form in the sense that it brings into juxtaposition different systems of thought …

What Do Abelam Images Want from Us?
Diane Losche's article, "What Do Abelam Images Want from Us?: Plato's Cave and Kwatbi's Belly," explores the complex relationship between Abelam art, ritual, and social life in Papua New Guinea. Challenging the Western tendency to interpret Abelam long yam masks and other ceremonial objects through the lens of Platonic idealism, Losche argues for a more nuanced understanding grounded in Abelam perspectives. She draws parallels between Plato's all…
The Impossible Aesthetic
This paper explores the ramifications of encounters which two Abelam men and the author had in the Australian Museum and Taronga Zoo in Sydney, 1982. Rather than place a ready‐made analytic framework on the men's experiences and rather than removing myself from the frame, as is usual in much anthropological analysis, I have chosen to explore the effects of these experiences on my own imagination. In the latter part of the paper I explore the way …
