  • The Rhetorical Emergence of Culture

    David Boromisza-Habashi, Donal Carbaugh et al.BOOKThe Rhetorical Emergence of Culture2022

    “Just as rhetoric is founded in culture, culture is founded in rhetoric” - the first half of this central statement from the International Rhetoric Culture Project is abundantly evidenced. It is the latter half that this volume explores: how does culture emerge out of rhetorical action, out of seemingly dispersed individual actions and interactions? The contributors do not rely on rhetorical “text” alone but engage the situational, bodily, and of…

  • Tree Leaf Talk: A Heideggerian Anthropology

    James F WeinerBOOKTree Leaf Talk2021

    This is the first book to explore the relationship between Martin Heideggers work and modern anthropology. Heidegger attracts much scholarly interest among social scientists, but few have explored his ideas in relation to current anthropological debates. The disciplines modernist foundations, the nature of cultural constructionism and of art even what an anthropology of art must include are all informed and illuminated by Heideggers work. The aut…

  • The appropriation of an Aboriginal landscape in northern New South Wales

    Open AccessJames F WeinerARTICLEThe Australian Journal of…2011

    The attachment of Australian Aboriginal people to land has not only been amply documented by anthropologists since the late 19 th century, it is also one of their own enduring tropes of differentiation from non‐Aboriginal and “official” Australian state society. In the face of widespread and concerted alteration of the pre‐settlement landscape engendered by industrial and commercial development, Aboriginal people seek to reclaim or reappropriate …

  • Conflict in the Statutory Elicitation of Aboriginal Culture in Australia

    James F WeinerARTICLEAnthropological Forum2011Cited by: 3References: 8

    In order for Aboriginal rights and interests to be recognised under the Native Title Act (1993), such rights and interests must arise from laws and customs that can be shown to have continuity with the particular set of laws and customs that existed at the time of sovereignty, or, at least, at the time of first European contact. This interpretation of continuity has been applied in Australian native title cases since the High Court's Yorta Yorta …

  • Community’ at the expense of ‘kinship’ in British courts

    Open AccessM Demian, N Rapport et al.ARTICLEJournal of Legal Anthropology2010Cited by: 1References: 3

    In February 2009, a complex and difficult case was brought before the civil division of the senior Court of Appeal in London. The appellant in this case, AM v Local Authority, The Children's Guardian, B-M (Children) ([2009] EWCA Civ 205), was the father of three children who had been removed from his and his wife's household by the local authority, and placed with foster carers. The foster carers had additionally moved house several times until t…

  • Customary land tenure and registration in Australia and Papua New Guinea: Anthropological Perspectives

    James F Weiner, Katie GlaskinBOOKCustomary land tenure and…2007

    Anthropologists fifty years ago would probably have regarded a collaborative presentation of essays on indigenous land tenure in Australia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) as a dubious undertaking, if not a category error. Aboriginal and Melanesian systems were functionally distinct, one adapted to the needs of a hunting and gathering economy, the other to sedentary horticulture. Going back another fifty years, such a conjunction would have been intell…

  • The social effects of native title: Recognition, Translation, Coexistence

    Benjamin Smith, Benjamin B Smith et al.BOOKThe social effects of native title2007Cited by: 1

    Native title has had a profound social impact in Australia. Its effects have been felt from the local level through to the national level ever since the success of the Mabo No.2 case in the Federal Court. But despite the involvement of large numbers of anthropologists in the field of native title practice (alongside lawyers, historians, archaeologists and others trained in the social sciences and humanities) there has been surprisingly little ref…

  • Eliciting Customary Law

    James F WeinerARTICLECanberra Anthropology2006Cited by: 13References: 12

    Noel Pearson's notion of the 'Recognition Space' between Aboriginal and Euro-Australian law accounts for a region of conjuncture between them. It does not, in anthropological terms, account for the more comprehensive and ongoing elicitation of Aboriginal law and custom by the Australian judicial establishment nor does it allow for the dependence of customary law on the presence of a state culture for such elicitation. Using comparative examples f…

  • Introduction: The (Re-)Invention of Indigenous Laws and Customs

    James F Weiner, Katie GlaskinARTICLECanberra Anthropology2006Cited by: 10References: 11

    Governments in the Asia Pacific region states within which indigenous people dwell haveincreasingly turned to legal definitions of indigeneity and of indigenous laws andcustoms. However, these legal codifications bring into being not indigenous cultures per sebut a version of them that is refracted through Western legal culture. The impact of suchdevelopments on what anthropologists identify as non-Western law, landed-ness, andpolitical process i…

    This is a review article of the book Native Title Corporations: A Legal and Anthropological Analysis from the point of view of anthropology. I begin by highlighting the development of Anglo‐Australian social anthropology from such figures as Radcliffe‐Brown and Fortes, who were heavily influenced by regulatory and normative models from the domain of legal and judicial scholarship and speculate on the contemporary conditions by which this original…

  • Religion, Belief and Action: The Case of Ngarrindjeri ‘Women's Business’ on Hindmarsh Island, South Australia, 1994–1996

    Open AccessJames F WeinerARTICLEThe Australian Journal of…2002

    The question of what role beliefs play in the description of a culture or a religious system, and whether beliefs as such can be ‘tested’, arose during a dramatic State Royal Commission into an Aboriginal sacred site claim in South Australia in 1995 focused on the proposed Hindmarsh Island‐Goolwa bridge. In this paper I examine some aspects of the legal and anthropological defence of the claim and suggest that insufficient distinction was made be…
