Collecting, Exhibiting, and Interpreting
A commentary on Paul Mullins's article "The Banality of Everyday Consumption," this essay engages questions concerning domestic objects that might be collected in urban settings. It discusses challenges involved in documenting the complex meanings associated with such objects, what happens when objects are incorporated into museum collections and exhibitions, and how museum visitors interpret exhibitions in relation to their own expectations, ass…
Public scholarship as a vocation
The calling of public scholarship is inherently multifaceted, and often inherently controversial; public scholars have to accommodate different spheres of society, different cultural values and goods, and even different political agendas in their work. Unlike academic workers, public scholars rarely have the opportunity to do work that is driven primarily by intellectual agendas, yet they also have to sustain fidelity to the ideas, values and sta…

Exhibiting Cultures
Throwing open to debate the practices of museums, galleries, and festivals, Exhibiting Cultures probes the often politically charged relationships among aesthetics, contexts, and implicit assumptions that govern how cultural differences and art objects are displayed. This innovative volume brings together museum directors and curators, art historians, anthropologists, folklorists, and historians to examine how diverse settings have appealed to au…

Explorations in African Systems of Thought
Explorations in African Systems of Thought examines the problems currently faced by researchers in the analysis of systems of belief in African societies. In contrast to the prevailing emphasis on the analysis of partial systems of thought, such as witchcraft beliefs or spirit possesion, the present collection of thirteen original essays stresses a more broadly analytic approach that relates the study of African systems of thought to other aspect…
The Distancing of Emotion in Ritual [and Comments and Reply]
There is an ambivalence toward ritual in social science. On the one hand, it is seen as immensely valuable to the individual and to society. On the other hand, there is an underlying feeling that ritual is impotent. This paper presents a theory of the distancing of emotion which integrates the positive and negative orientations toward ritual. The theory links ritual to the process of catharsis of repressed emotion, which subsumes the positive ori…
Reading The Nuer [and Comments and Reply]
The argument of Evans-Pritchard's classic The Nuer has been subject to conflicting interpretations. We examine these interpretations and then present a reading of the work that treats it as a whole. A key conclusion is that Evans-Pritchard distinguishes among three aspects of the "systems" he describes: (1) logical possibilities immanent in all forms of action, (2) cultural or local idioms in terms of which action is formulated and expressed, and…
New Guinea Models in the African Savannah
Opening ParagraphFourteen years have passed since J. A. Barnes published his short article on 'African models in the New Guinea Highlands' (1962). In it Barnes raised the question of whether the concepts used to analyse systems of descent in African societies were applicable to descent systems in New Guinea that appeared at first glance to be similar. This article signalled the beginning of a debate over the nature of descent and kinship in New G…

On Reading The Nuer
This article comprises three separate responses to Sharon Hutchinson's review of Evans-Pritchard's Nuer ethnography. Pierre Bonte critiques Hutchinson's reliance on simplistic binary oppositions and her mischaracterization of Evans-Pritchard's structuralist approach. Ivan Karp argues that Hutchinson's focus on the political and economic aspects of Nuer society neglects the importance of kinship and symbolic systems. Kent Maynard defends Evans-Pri…
