  • Aids

    Shirley LindenbaumCHAPTERAIDS in Africa and the Caribbean2019

    Introducing his book on epidemic disease in the late 1950’s, Arthur Gale suggested that the value of such a volume lay in the “light it throws upon the present because many of the diseases to be discussed have vanished from the English scene or have become trivial”. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has emerged at a time when scholars are questioning the manner in which knowledge, power and authority are socially and culturally reproduced…

    Open AccessAletta Biersack, Hal B Levine et al.ARTICLEOceania2017Referências: 36

    From time to time, readers and contributors to Oceania inquire whether we have published an obituary of a particular Oceanian scholar. Oceania does not routinely publish obituaries, but these enquiries reveal a desire to be reminded of or to have the chance to acknowledge an intellectual debt to a colleague. Consequently, short tributes to such scholars will appear as an occasional feature in Oceania. 'Paula Brown Glick: a Retrospective' is the f…

    Shirley LindenbaumBOOKKuru Sorcery2015Citada por: 1

    Perhaps the best-documented epidemic in the history of medicine, kuru has been studied for more than fifty years by international investigators from medicine and the human sciences. This significantly revised edition of the landmark anthropological classic Kuru Sorcery brings up to date the anthropological contribution to understanding disease, the medical research that resulted in two medical Nobel Prizes, and the views of the Fore people who en…

  • Understanding kuru

    Open AccessShirley LindenbaumARTICLEPhilosophical Transactions of the…2008

    To understand kuru and solve the problems of its cause and transmission required the integration of knowledge from both anthropological and medical research. Anthropological studies elucidated the origin and spread of kuru, the local mortuary practices of endocannibalism, the social effects of kuru, the life of women and child-rearing practices, the kinship system of the Fore and their willingness to incorporate outsiders into it, the myths, folk…

  • Actualités de la personne en Mélanésie

    Shirley LindenbaumARTICLECahiers internationaux de…2008Referências: 13

    RESUME Les anthropologues qui étudient les effets de la « modernité » en Mélanésie ont donné un souffle nouveau à la question de la personne relationnelle. On observe l’apparition de personnes plus individualisées, plus autonomes dans le contexte de la conversion au christianisme, de la consommation de biens et du travail salarié. Comportements sexuels et sensibilités des jeunes se transforment à la faveur de leur expérience d’idées nouvelles sur…

  • Thinking About Cannibalism

    Shirley LindenbaumARTICLEAnnual Review of Anthropology2004Citada por: 35Referências: 55

    The discourse of cannibalism, which began in the encounter between Europe and the Americas, became a defining feature of the colonial experience in the New World, especially in the Pacific. The idea of exoticism, like that of the primitive, is also a Western construct linked to the exploring/conquering/cataloguing impulse of colonialism. We now live in a world where those we once called exotic live among us, defining their own identities, preclud…

  • Fore Narratives Through Time

    Shirley LindenbaumARTICLECurrent Anthropology2002Citada por: 7Referências: 13

    Fore stories about bush spirits provide versions of historical experience not offered in everyday conversation. The main actor begins his adventures as a forestdwelling, capricious agemate who intrudes into village space where his activities are less benign. Moving closer to colonial settlements and now described as a wild man, he robs a tradestore, steals from a government office, and is exiled to Australia. With Papua New Guinea Independence, h…

  • Kuru, Prions, and Human Affairs

    Shirley LindenbaumARTICLEAnnual Review of Anthropology2001Citada por: 21Referências: 43

    The study of epidemics provides a unique point of entry for examining the relationships among cultural assumptions, institutional forms, and states of mind. The Black Death is said to have contributed to the emergence of nation states, the rise of mercantile economies, and the religious movements that led to the Reformation. It may also have brought about new ways of understanding God, the meaning of death, and the role of authority in religious …
