  • Navigating Colonial Orders

    Svein Ivar Angell, Anne K Bang et al.BOOKNavigating colonial orders2022

    Norwegians in colonial Africa and Oceania had varying aspirations and adapted in different ways to changing social, political and geographical circumstances in foreign, colonial settings. They included Norwegian shipowners, captains, and diplomats; traders and whalers along the African coast and in Antarctica; large-scale plantation owners in Mozambique and Hawai’i; big business men in South Africa; jacks of all trades in the Solomon Islands; tim…

  • The Ethnographic Experiment

    Tim Bayliss-Smith, Judith A Bennett et al.BOOKThe ethnographic experiment2022

    In 1908, Arthur Maurice Hocart and William Halse Rivers Rivers conducted fieldwork in the Solomon Islands and elsewhere in Island Melanesia that served as the turning point in the development of modern anthropology. The work of these two anthropological pioneers on the small island of Simbo brought about the development of participant observation as a methodological hallmark of social anthropology. This would have implications for Rivers' later w…

  • Anthropology and 1968

    Open AccessK Rio, Knut M Rio et al.ARTICLEAnthropology Today2018Citada por: 6Referências: 20

    It is now 50 years since 1968 and in this article we look back at the 1960s and the way that anthropology was shaped in those years. We find a period of rupture, generational upheaval, youthful exploration against authority and spiritual breaks with rationality and causality thinking, but also violent counter-insurgency and inventions of new authoritarian state forms. Our purpose is to look back at that period and reframe how those years were for…

  • Policing the Holy Nation

    Open AccessK Rio, Knut M RioARTICLEOceania2011

    In Vanuatu, the police force has in recent years been strengthened by foreign government aid. AusAid and NZAid are heavily involved inside the police force, seeking to create ‘good governance’ and to shape Vanuatu's national developments. However, these measures also coincide with some other unexpected developments. Recent cases of violence, and especially of sorcery, have led the police to intervene in a quest for moral order. Police are becomin…

  • Securing Modernity

    Open AccessAndrew Lattas, K Rio et al.ARTICLEOceania2011

    Contemporary public discourses, which depict Melanesian nation states as weak or as having failed, serve to legitimize the imposition of external, neo‐paternal, regulatory structures on former colonies. Such discourses problematise the numerous local experiments that combine custom, state structures and religion so as to create modern Melanesian ways of governing. Starting with the colonial policy of indirect rule, Melanesia has had a long histor…

  • Totalization and detotalization

    Open AccessK Rio, Knut M Rio et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Theory2008Citada por: 12Referências: 35

    This article marks an effort to extend Louis Dumont's concept pair of hierarchy and individualism towards a more realistic understanding of social formations. Dumont's work is reviewed along with his critics, and through a survey of contemporary ethnography a move towards a concept of totalization is suggested. It is argued that a view of totalization and detotalization provides a vocabulary for a re-establishment of the social for the discipline…
