Revealed by Illness
Illness may be accepted simply as a fact, as a natural process, as a derailment of nature. But it has often been interpreted further in religious or moral terms. From first awareness of a change or difference, a person moves through perplexity towards some interpretation of the place of that illness in his or her life. He or she feels ill and wants to know about the illness, adopts an attitude to it. The attitude will probably reflect some cultur…
Pandora's box
Need may provide a motive for progress and a push in one direction. There are common human aims which arise from biological needs, but this level of need is so general that it spells out no particular solution. Given motive and the capacity to learn, solutions which seem better than previous ones may be devised; or borrowed. They can be borrowed or tried out because the body does not have to change to adopt them, or to pass them on to the next ge…
Before and after fieldwork
W.H.R. Rivers asked what light anthropology could throw on the emergence of medicine. But this early lead was not soon followed up. Social anthropology had first to establish itself. The new social anthropology championed holistic fieldwork in small-scale societies. Some did choose to study illness or misfortune ethnographically. Evans-Pritchard, Victor Turner and Max Marwick provided outstanding models in this field. Political change and decolon…

War Shields of the Torricelli Mountains, West Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea
The usefulness of the term ‘ethnolinguistic group’, as a construct suggesting that ‘differences in language automatically translate into differences in culture’, has been questioned by Welsch, Terrel and Nadolski (1992). Not many researchers would insist on the term ‘automatically’, but would nevertheless support an argument for a strong correlation between material culture and language. As a contribution to this debate, we discuss two types of w…

Between public assertion and private doubts. A Sepik ritual of healing and reflexivity
Il est possible que la croyance ne se refere pas seulement au contenu (savoirs, idees) mais aussi a l'attitude du croyant (i.e. la croyance au sens de disposition : l'etat d'esprit du croyant). La croyance n'est pas necessairement une affaire de conviction absolue. Elle peut fort bien mobiliser des enjeux de reflexivite religieuse. Il existe en effet des degres d'implication, des glissements et des changements d'attitude. Les echecs pour guerir u…
