The Personal Approach in Cultural Anthropological Research [and Comments and Reply]
The personal approach in cultural anthropology, self-consciously and deliberately undertaken, perceives value in the unique combination of interests, personal values, theoretical orientation, imagination, sensitivity, and other idiosyncratic qualities embodied in a particular competent investigator or team of investigators. Because of the uniqueness of the factors through which the personal approach yields knowledge, the approach is not easily ta…

The Curse of Souw: Principles of Daribi Clan Definition and Alliance in New Guinea
This article examines the principles underlying clan definition and alliance among the Daribi of New Guinea. It argues against a strictly descent-based model of clan structure, demonstrating how residence, marriage patterns, and the exchange of valuables, particularly in the context of warfare and compensation, play crucial roles in shaping clan identity and inter-clan relationships. The "curse of Souw," a mythical narrative involving the separat…

Bena Bena Political Organization
Focusing on the Korofeigu ‘district’ of the Numuyagabo ‘tribe’ in Bena Bena census division, this paper considers the appropriateness of terms used to designate units of New Guinea Highlands social structure. Some terms have a certain utility, but not for understanding Korofeigu political organization—taking ‘political’ as referring primarily to public affairs. Marriage and warfare were not directly linked, and districts and clans rarely acted as…
