A Re-Examination of the New Guinea Highlands Sacred Flute Complex
This paper describes the use of 'sacred flutes' in male initiation ceremonies in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Most previous discussions of the flutes have regarded them as either reflections of existing social organizations or as symbolic of the dominance of men over women. The alternate approach presented here derives much from the communication theory of Barth — since initiations entail the transmission of knowledge. The notion of…

The use of photographs in mourning and bereavement and the anthropology of art
This reviews the use of photographs of dead significant others in mourning and bereavement in contemporary Western societies. It compares this to the employment of memorial effigies in non‐Western societies or artefacts associated with the dead person. It describes the way in which selected photographs serve to represent the deceased as a means of externalising emotions in periods of mourning and bereavement. This type of relationship, in which a…

This is in contrast to relationships of association in which the artifact takes on features …

Two Realms and a Joke
This article explores the nature of jokes by examining two distinct theories of bisociation: Koestler's theory, which posits a clash between two self-consistent but incompatible frames of reference, and a modified version that emphasizes the role of a mediating 'joke realm.' Johnson argues that neither theory fully accounts for the complexities of humor, particularly the element of aggression often present in jokes. He introduces the concept of a…
