Opening ParagraphAlthough the Nuer are generally described as 'naked', the ethnographic literature and photographs suggest that they hold certain notions about 'nakedness' and 'nudity' which prescribe wearing or not wearing certain garments or ornaments in certain social situations. Some of these notions seem closely related to important Nuer conceptual categories of their social groups and their world, especially those related to sexuality, marriage, and affinity, and the process of changing from one social status or moral state to another. Some of these are considered in this paper.
