Jahre Sociologus
This centennial issue of Sociologus revisits the journal’s origins, focusing on its founder Richard Thurnwald and – critically – on his long-overlooked collaborator and wife, Hilde Thurnwald. While Richard has long been recognized as a key figure in social anthropology, this introduction brings to light the crucial intellectual and organizational role Hilde played in the journal’s founding, continuation, and editorial development. Despite being a…
‘Em i Stap Bilong En Yet’
‘Clan’ and ‘Family’
Changes in what anthropologists understand “clan” to refer to, and the social relations that many sociologists think of as constituting a “nuclear family” are at the centre of this article. It is based on ethnography among Wampar speakers in north-eastern Papua New Guinea (PNG). Among the Wampar, different, sometimes conflicting, transitions relevant to the emergence of the family as an accentuated social entity can be observed; yet all are a res…
Roads to Inequality
Roads are one of the most salient symbols of development and modernity for rural citizens of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Multinational corporations, members of parliament, and villagers frequently point to roads as a key to development. However, while roads routinely improve the incomes of those connected, many of their effects are far less scrutable. Here, we examine the economic and social consequences of two roads, the Wau‐Bulolo Highway and Highl…
Gender and inequality in a postcolonial context of large‐scale capitalist projects in the Markham Valley, Papua New Guinea
This article historicises gender relations among Wampar speakers in New Guinea (PNG). It analyses three interconnected female biographies to show how historical background interacts with current large‐scale capitalist projects to exacerbate social inequalities. One biography exemplifies linkages between Christianisation, education and political representation; the second focuses on inheritance, access to land, and dogmas about patriliny; the thir…

Mining narratives, the revival of «clans» and other changes in Wampar social imaginaries
The prospect of mineral resource exploitation, in the context of legal-political pressures on local communities to comply with the bureaucratic visions of mining companies and the state, and the narrative construction of community futures, invariably sets in motion processes of social boundary-making. Outcomes are driven not only by discourses originating in the state or the mining companies, but also in local and national narratives about the f…
Boholano Olfaction
This article explores the domain of odors and olfaction on the island of Bohol, The Philippines. It recounts how my research interests were drawn to this domain by local preoccupations with smell as an aspect of everyday sociality, expressed in speech, modes of interaction and evaluation, and the discursive construction of ethnicities and other social kinds. Bohol's long and complex history and its place in the contemporary world entail a complex…
Social Reproduction and Ethnic Boundaries
In this article we examine how partner choice and strategies of social reproduction among the Wampar of northeastern Papua New Guinea are implicated in currently pressing questions about the future of Wampar as a socio-cultural unit. We use long-term qualitative and quantitative data based on fieldwork and census surveys conducted between 1954 and 2013 from the village of Gabsongkeg to analyse temporal and spatial patterns of partner choice. We a…

Grenzziehungen im System wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen – der Fall der “Kulturwissenschaft(en)
Der Beitrag analysiert die (inter-)disziplinären Grenzziehungspraktiken, die mit der Konjunktur der "Kulturwissenschaft(en)" im deutschsprachigen Raum verbunden sind. Differenzierungstheoretische Analysen des Wissenschaftssystems werden dabei um Einsichten der neueren Theorie symbolischer und sozialer Grenzziehung erweitert. Die Konjunktur der interdisziplinären "Kulturwissenschaften" (im Plural) wird aus spezifischen Strategien des boundary-blur…
Making Sense of Aids
Stonhet andYelotop
The Wampar of Papua New Guinea are an ethnic group with contested boundaries and a strong ethnic identity and consciousness. Since their first contact with White missionaries, government officials and anthropologists, body images have changed and become more important. ‘Foreign’ migrants from other PNG provinces are now coming in great numbers into Wampar territory, where they find wealthy Wampar make good marriage partners. From peaceful relatio…
