Ethics
Sociocultural anthropology’s best-known writing on professional ethics has focused on high-profile cases and long arcs of crisis-driven controversy that engaged national and cross-national anthropological communities and professional associations. Sociocultural anthropology’s public controversies have involved instances of systematic departure from the informal principle of relinquishing control and of serious straying from the disciplinary ideal…
My Favorite Book
These reflections originate in an encounter I had with Mary Douglas in the mid-1980s, when she had a regular visiting appointment at my university. Arriving at my office for the first time one day before we headed to lunch together, she paused at the threshold to take in the wall of volumes before her and exclaimed "My favorite book!" before making a beeline for the one item in my Douglas collection that you are probably not picturing. The book s…

Collaborative Methods
Collaborative research partnerships between academic anthropologists and host or descendant communities are becoming more popular in anthropology. The reviewed books demonstrate there are different understandings of what collaboration means for professional identities and expertise across subfields. Therefore, such partnerships are unlikely to promote cross-subfield integration. Nevertheless, while their collaborative styles diverge, the reviewed…

This collection defines an array of key issues to consider in deepening our understanding of what we might call disciplinary practices. The volume fixes its sights (sites?) on faultlines in existing constructions of field, weaknesses that have become evident as our interests have shifted with changes in the world and the academy- The separate chapters are, for the most part, critical and reflexive rather than ethnographic. They draw their conclus…

Big Men, Large and Small? Towards a Comparative Perspective
The incidence and cultural elaboration of the so-called man complex varies within Highland Papua New Guinea. A comparison of styles of big manship within the Highlands may appear trivial in the context of longstanding--now pervasively contested--Pacific-wide and typological distinctions observers have made between men and chiefs (Sahlins 1963; Valentine 1963; Douglas 1979), or even in view of recently drawn, local contrasts (e.g., between Melanes…
Dealing with Inequality
This article explores the complex relationship between gender and inequality in Melanesia, challenging the assumption that Western feminist frameworks can be universally applied. Lederman and Strathern argue against a simplistic view of Melanesian women as universally oppressed, emphasizing the diversity of social organizations and the varied ways in which gender is constructed and enacted. They examine how inequalities are perceived and negotiat…

What Gifts Engender
Gift exchange plays a crucial role in the social and political organisation of Mendi in Papua New Guinea. This book reveals how considerable light can be shed on Mendi society, particularly on its political economy, by examining both the well-known ceremonial exchange festivals and the hitherto relatively little-studied everyday gift-giving practices. The author shows that the latter are crucial for understanding inter-group politics, the process…
