The Art of Gardens
This volume argues that looking at gardens through the lens of art and aesthetics generates new insights into the role that gardens have for those who make and depend on them. Drawing on some of the debates around the anthropology of art, we suggest that aesthetics provides a rich analytical perspective on the importance of gardens to many wider aspects of social life. We argue for the critical conceptual significance of gardens in Melanesia, and…
A tale of two figures
Museum collected objects can be a rich resource for understanding the societies that made and used them, and their history. In Melanesia there has not been much of a tradition of using objects to understand history, not least because not much is often known about the objects now preserved in museum collections. By considering two unrelated and poorly documented female figures from the Lower Sepik region, this paper considers the kinds of research…

Framing the Art of West Papua
Sally Potter (Contemporary Film Directors) * The Cinema of Sally Potter
In her introduction to Sophie Mayer's The Cinema of Sally Potter, Julie Christie describes The Gold Diggers as being ‘like gold dust in the wind, motes that settle but don't form a cohesive whole’ (p. ix). These words convey the paradoxically elusive yet intense character of this particular film, and also suggest characteristics of Potter's filmmaking more generally – namely the extraordinary richness of forms and stories, and the rewards to be g…
Classifying the Material
The analytical category 'material culture', and in particular the ways in which different kinds of material culture are classified museologically, need critical examination in the light of specific ethnographic data. In this article, the categories 'food' and 'textiles' are considered in the context of status-alteration systems in east Ambae, Vanuatu. An analysis of the women's status-alteration system huhuru, reveals a categorical association be…
Women, Place and Practice in Vanuatu
This paper discusses the relationship between people and place in Vanuatu, focusing on the relationship between women and place. The paper draws on ethnographic data from the island of Ambae, arguing that practice mediates the relationship between people and place, and, in the new context of the nation, has become a way of demonstrating a person's affiliation to place. In contemporary Vanuatu, kastom mediates and expresses place‐based identity. L…
Chief Willie Bongmatur Maldo and the role of Chiefs in Vanuatu
There were and are many different forms of indigenous community leadership in the archipelago now known as Vanuatu. Missionaries and officials of the Anglo‐French Condominium Government introduced into this diversity the concept ‘chief, a title used to designate the men who represented their communities in the non‐traditional contexts of church and state. During the period in which Vanuatu sought and achieved Independence, this role for chiefs al…
A Place Containing Many Places
In this paper I discuss a number of incompatible ways of comprehending object meanings, contrasting western ethnographic museum practice with indigenous, specifically ni‐Vanuatu, understandings. I discuss these differences as a way of looking analytically at some of the practices of museum ethnography and material culture studies. There are several aspects to this contrast: here I concentrate on ideas about place. Place is a centrally important c…

Semantic Coding Versus the Stimulus Suffix
The stimulus suffix effect is investigated when it follows an auditory memory list in which rated meaningfulness was manipulated at the final serial position. A verbal suffix disrupts the terminal list item compared with a noise suffix, but rated meaningfulness affects recall performance significantly despite the presence of a verbal suffix. With ordered recall, there is some evidence that a verbal suffix disrupts items rated low in meaningfulnes…
