PIONEERS OF ISLAND MELANESIA PROJECT
Michael Dunn
(Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands)
From perhaps 50,000 to 3,500 years BP the islands to the east of Papua New Guinea
– present-day New Britain, New Ireland, Bougainville and the Solomon Islands –
represented the furthermost extent of human settlement. The archaeological traces
left by these people are not rich, but evidence of anthropogenic environmental
manipulations (introduction of plant and animal species for food) and of farreaching trade in obsidian, show that this period was culturally active and
historically interesting.
From 3,500 years BP the expansion of the Lapita cultural complex
encompassed most of Oceania, and the Oceanic subgroup of the Austronesian
language family is more or less coextensive with this. The non-Austronesian
languages of Oceania are thus widely assumed to be descendants of the languages
spoken by the pre-Lapita peoples. It is our hypothesis that these non-Austronesian
languages hold the key to understanding the pre-Austronesian past of Island
Melanesia. A fusion of traditional linguistic comparative methods, and
interdisciplinary ‘triangulation’ (genetics, biological anthropology, archaeology) is
being used to develop a new picture of the deep prehistory of the region.
The Pioneers of Island Melanesia project is part of the European Science
Foundation scheme ‘Origin of Man, Language and Languages’. There are five
teams located in four countries, with each team funded by its national science
funding agency. The teams are: Linguistics, Netherlands (Stephen Levinson, Angela
Terrill, Ger Reesink, Michael Dunn at MPI Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen);
Linguistics, Sweden (Eva Lindström at the University of Stockholm); Biological
Anthropology (Robert Foley, Marta Lahr at the University of Cambridge);
Archaeology (Chris Gosden at the University of Oxford); Genetics (Mark
Stoneking, Manfred Kayser at MPI Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig). The
project has been running since mid-2002.
Preliminary studies have been focussing on filling in gaps within each
discipline area. The remainder of this notice will sketch some of the results from the
linguistics sub-projects.
A major current focus in the project is investigation of what can be
reconstructed about past processes of linguistic contact – in particular, once layers
of Austronesian contact-induced change are peeled back, it is possible to compare
the archaic features of non-Austronesian languages and form hypotheses about their
ultimate relatedness (or lack thereof).
Lexical comparison of the non-Austronesian languages does not show
significant levels of cognates; when common Austronesian loans are removed, most
non-Austronesian languages of Island Melanesia do not show any kind of
interrelatedness. Comparison with Austronesian languages does however lead to
some interesting results.
Terrill has carried out a detailed investigation of the vocabulary of the
Lavukaleve language (non-Austronesian, Solomon Islands) and has formed a
1
OCEANIA NEWSLETTER 30/31
picture of long-term, low-intensity contact, involving technological and cultural
exchange, but which did not result in widespread bilingualism. Lavukaleve has few
Oceanic loanwords not also attested in surrounding languages, and the results of the
study suggest firstly that the nearby Oceanic languages and Lavukaleve have mostly
been in situ for a long time, and that the current language map of at least this area of
the Solomon Islands represents more or less the way it has been for some time.
There is some linguistic evidence of sharing of cultural knowledge and material
culture, in particular sea-faring terminology, and to a lesser extent garden
terminology and cooking and household terms. There has been a certain amount of
sharing of basic vocabulary, e.g. body part terms and basic geographical terms. In
this respect, Thomason (2001), following Thomason and Kaufman (1988), shows
that the first words to be borrowed in a contact situation are words referring to new
items or ways of doing things. The borrowing of further words points to a level of
cultural contact beyond the most superficial. Nevertheless, the emerging picture in
this region is one of slight contact, which involved cultural and technological
exchange, but did not result in widespread bilingualism, and probably did not
involve a great amount of intermarriage relations. If this is the case, it is envisaged
that strong correlations should be found by our co-workers in biology/population
genetics.
A similar study was carried out by Levinson on Yélî Dnye, with results
differing from the Lavukaleve results in interesting ways. Yélî Dnye is a nonAustronesian language spoken at the easternmost extremity of the Louisiade
Archipelago. Despite extremely low levels of shared vocabulary, some elements of
structural convergence with the Sudest language (Anderson & Ross 2002) can be
seen. These almost certainly reflect assimilation of Sudest to Yélî Dnye, or a related
language once spoken on Sudest. For instance, Sudest boasts 36 consonantal
phonemes, very unusual for an Oceanic language. These include prenasalized and
labialized series as on Rossel (with its 56 consonants). The languages share verbal
inflection by pre- and post-verbal clitics. There are many other detailed similarities
(e.g. classifiers, tense/aspect, deictic discriminations, and a number of obvious
cognates). Nevertheless, at base the languages are radically different: Sudest is SVO
with fixed word order, non-ergative, has inclusive/exclusive pronouns, and many
other typical features of Oceanic languages, while Yélî Dnye is loosely SOV,
ergative in morphology and syntax, postpositional, and without inclusive/exclusive
distinctions in the pronouns.
A number of interesting early Oceanic loans can be detected in Yélî Dnye.
These forms are cognate with Proto-Oceanic rather than with the currently
surrounding languages. They include the number words, words for technological
imports like the sail, pottery and the like (see Ross, Pawley and Osmond 1998).
Examples include ndipi ‘lid’ (< Proto-Oceanic tupi ‘lid, cover’); pala ‘woven
coconut mat’ (< Proto-Eastern-Oceanic bola ‘coconut leaves woven together for
any purpose, including mats’); lyé ‘sail’ (< Proto- Malayo-Polynesian layaR, North
New Guinea lai-Papua tip lara/naia, etc.); podo nee ‘chief’s racing canoe (without
sail)’? (< Proto-Western- Malayo-Polynesian padaw ‘kind of sailboat’). This all
suggests quite different patterns of linguistic and cultural contact than for
Lavukaleve and its neighbours in the Solomon Islands. Whereas the neighbours of
Lavukaleve seem to have been stable for a long time, the Oceanic languages
2
OCEANIA NEWSLETTER 30/31
neighbouring Yélî Dnye seem to have changed at least once, and the linguistic
contact seems to have been more intensive in the past.
Some outcomes of the pilot project have been published (Dunn, Terrill and
Reesink 2002, Terrill 2002), and further information about the project (including
contact details for all participants) is available at the project website,

1500 MILES IS A LONG WAY HOME - RABBIT-PROOF FENCE
A film by Phillip Noyce. Australia, 2002. 94 minutes.
Main cast: Kenneth Branagh, Everlyn Sampi, Laura Monaghan, Tianna Sansbury,
David Gulpilil.
“Although this is the story of three young indigenous Australians, I hope the
audience is so involved in wanting these kids to get home, that they forget about
race and identify with the plight of these three characters.”
(Phillip Noyce, Director/Producer)
“Those other kids that were taken, they were much younger. They didn’t know
mother. But I was older. I knew mother. I wanted to go home to mother.”
(Molly Craig (84 yrs), Jigalong, August 2000)
Synopsis of Rabbit-Proof Fence
PERTH, AUSTRALIA, 1931: MR. NEVILLE, the Chief Protector of Aborigines in
Western Australia, gives a lecture to a luncheon meeting of the Perth Women’s
Service Guild. He describes with pride the program, which he has overseen for the
last ten years, in which part-Aboriginal children are removed from their families
and taken to settlements where they are, “prepared for their new life in white
society,” through training as domestic servants and farm labourers. He believes that
the Aboriginal race is dying out and that aboriginality should be bred out. He has
power over every Aborigine in the state. He is in fact the legal guardian of the
aboriginal children and has ruled that aboriginal children not be allowed to marry
full-blooded Aborigines.
Meanwhile, in the small depot of Jigalong, on the very edge of the Gibson
Desert, three spirited, Aboriginal girls live with their mothers. Running through
Jigalong and out into the desert, as far as the eye can see, is the rabbit-proof fence.
The fence was built fifteen years earlier and runs the whole length of Western
Australia from north to south in order to keep rabbits on one side and pasture land
on the other. The three girls are MOLLY (14) a sensitive teenager on the verge of
womanhood, her cousin GRACIE (10) and her sister, DAISY (8). Mr. Neville gets
word that the three girls are running wild and authorizes their removal to the Moore
River Native Settlement, north of Perth, as soon as possible. CONSTABLE RIGGS
drives out to Jigalong and despite the fierce protestations of MAUDE, Molly’s
mother, FRINDA, her grandmother, and Gracie’s mother LILY, is able to tear the
girls from the women and packs them into his large black police car. Molly, Gracie
and Daisy are taken 1500 miles away from home by road, rail and boat across the
continent and down to the Moore River Native Settlement.
Moore River is a grim, un-cared for place, where the children are housed in
large dormitories with few amenities, fed dismal food and policed by DAVID
MOODOO, a skilled black tracker who is kept on hand in order to bring back any
runaways. Wayward children are thrown into “the boob”, the Settlement’s
punishment cell. Molly, as the oldest, feels that it is her responsibility to look after
the two younger girls. She is dismayed by their new circumstances while Gracie and
4
OCEANIA NEWSLETTER 30/31
Daisy, following Gracie’s lead, seem to be making the best of their new situation.
Molly, however, determines that they will leave.
After only one day Molly finds the opportunity to run away. As a storm
begins to roll in she grabs Gracie and Daisy and tells them that are going home.
Daisy looks at Molly contemplates the journey and asks “How we gunna get there?”
Molly turns to her sisters, who are hesitant and tells them “We’re gunna walk”.
Gracie and Daisy look at each other disbelievingly but Molly is determined. She
will go alone if she has to. They weigh their options and choose to stick with Molly
come what may. Molly leads them out of the settlement, through the rushing water
of a swollen river, to the other side, where they embark on their journey to get
home.
Moodoo is sent out after them and a full-fledged search begins which will
ultimately involve the police force, spotting planes and the media. As the girls make
their way on a journey that will ultimately take them three months and span 1500
miles, Molly manages to keep them one-step ahead of their pursuers. Along the way
Molly must draw on every one of her skills and personal fortitude to evade the
hunters, outwit Moodoo and keep herself and her cousins alive. They must contend
with the forces of nature and with people that they encounter, both Aboriginal and
white, who may either help them or harm them.
Molly finds the fence that will take them home. It does not take long for
Neville to realize that they are following the fence. Capture by Moodoo now seems
inevitable but due to Molly’s quick thinking they are able to elude him. Neville
begins to give up hope of capturing the girls before they enter into extremely harsh,
desert country, where it would be dangerous to risk sending his men. It is clear that
he believes the girls cannot possibly survive if they continue on.
As they head into rough country they encounter a Stockman who tells Gracie
that her mother is in Wiluna. Gracie and Molly fight and Gracie breaks off to go in
search of her mother. Molly, stubborn at first, allows her to go off by herself.
Ultimately however Molly’s conscience overcomes her and she and Daisy head
back to find Gracie only to discover that they have walked into a trap. Gracie is
captured while Molly and Daisy, powerless to help her, look on in horror. Molly
looks at Daisy and then at herself, they are beaten-up, skinny and dirty. Molly is
close to breaking down when Daisy looks up at her quietly and asks, “We gunna go
home now Molly?” Molly digs deep within herself, finds her last bit of resolve and
tells the small girl, “Yeah, We gunna go home.”
Molly and Daisy make their way over the final leg of the journey, across the
most dangerous and unforgiving landscape yet. Moodoo, quietly gives up his search
for the girls. He has been known as a tracker whose skill is to get inside his prey, it
is now clear that along the way it is Molly that has gotten into him. Molly and Daisy
finally reach the outskirts of Jigalong where they must evade the policeman who is
lying in wait before they are joyously reunited with their families. Molly and Daisy
are safe, for now, while a world away Neville quietly gives up the search as futile.
This is a true story. Molly married and had two children. When her children were
aged (4) and (2) they were all captured and taken back to Moore River. Molly
walked back to Jigalong again, carrying Annabelle, the baby, and leaving Doris, the
eldest behind. When Annabelle was three she was taken from Molly, never to be
5
OCEANIA NEWSLETTER 30/31
seen by her again. Doris was reunited with her mother thirty years later. She wrote
her mother’s story from which this film is adapted. Molly (84) and Daisy (78) are
still living in Jigalong today. Australian Aboriginal children continued to be
removed under government policy until 1972. Those children who were taken in
this way are now referred to as the ‘Stolen Generation.’

OCEANIA NEWSLETTER 30/31
EULOGY FOR KEN MADDOCK (1937 – 2003)
By Les Hiatt1
Last Tuesday members of the AAS received a brief email message from David
Martin, informing them of Ken’s death. It ended with the sentence: “His
forthrightness, intellectual honesty, and rigour will be missed by the profession”. I
think that summarises very well how Ken was regarded by his colleagues, and the
high esteem in which they held him.
Over the weekend I refreshed my memory of Ken as a young man by looking
at a photograph taken in 1967 at a cricket match. Tall and athletic, with a shock of
blond hair, he stood in a group of youthful emigres from England and Wales,
including Richard Wright, Nicolas Peterson, Rhys Jones and Harry Oxley. If you
didn’t know that he was born in Hastings, New Zealand (as distinct from Hastings,
England), you would be excused for thinking he was one of them. Indeed, given his
careful articulation and a certain formality of manner, I initially assumed he was
English in origin and for a long time continued to think of him as such.
In his struggle with cancer, Ken drew upon cricket to describe the
humiliating effect of medication on a once-robust frame: “Chemotherapy has hit me
for six”, he said. His last words to Sheila were: “I have scored ten runs short of a
century - write down the score”. Although he may not have been in a clear state of
mind, she thought his meaning was that he had not quite accomplished what he had
hoped for. A good innings, but not one for the record books.
I am sorry if he left us on that note of disappointment because it is not
warranted. Ken’s contribution to social anthropology in Australia over the last forty
years is second to none. If we take, as criteria, range of interests, depth of
scholarship, analytical acumen, and lucidity of exposition, the score on the board
comes to a comfortable ton. He played the game at international level; and while he
may not have been the Don Bradman of Aboriginal studies, neither was anyone
else.
Let us spend no more time on the quantification and hierarchy of
achievement. Ken, after all, was by conviction an anarchist, even if as a normal
product of natural selection he was susceptible to the pleasures of competition and
the temptations of self-esteem. His initial training was in law, which helped him to
develop formidable debating skills. Almost immediately after obtaining his bachelor
of laws degree, he enrolled for an MA in anthropology at the University of
Auckland. The subject of his thesis was preferred and prescribed marriage systems
in New Guinea and Western Melanesia, which in due course aroused his interest in
Aboriginal systems and led to a preliminary trip across the Tasman Sea. Recalling
the occasion much later, he wrote: “Les was in the field during the summer of 196263 when I made my first visit to Sydney, but I shared a house with [his friend
Monty West] and his wife Betty, who lent me his PhD thesis”. A year later he
returned to begin his own PhD candidature at the University of Sydney, with me as
his supervisor. The subject of his research was a recent, highly secret cult in
southern Arnhem Land called ‘Yabadurrawa’. Empirically and analytically the

OCEANIA NEWSLETTER 30/31
outcome was a tour de force but, because of the sensitive nature of the material, the
thesis could not be published.
One day a few years after Ken finished his fieldwork I was sitting at a table
in a beer garden at Mataranka writing up my diary in a field note book. An
Aboriginal man I’d never seen before came up and started a conversation, in the
course of which he asked me if I was a “business man” (meaning a person involved
in secret ceremonial matters). I reacted somewhat cautiously to this, and he then
asked: “You know Ken Maddock”? “Yes”, I said, “he’s a good friend of mine”.
“Well,” replied the Aboriginal man, pointing to my notebook, “this paper, that’s
how I know you’re a business man. Ken Maddock got the same paper.” The totemic
significance of departmental stationery.
The dominant theoretical influence pervading Ken’s two theses was
undoubtedly Lévi-Strauss. In fact by the 1970s Ken had become the most influential
exponent of French and Dutch structuralism in Australian anthropology. This status
was achieved partly through his widely-acclaimed general description of Aboriginal
society, published by the Penguin Press in 1972, but more importantly by a series of
ingenious shorter essays, placing interpretations on such matters as Aboriginal
myths of the acquisition of fire, the emu anomaly, indigenous systems of
classification, dual social organization, the brother/sister taboo in Arnhem Land,
and so on.
There’s something about the formalism of the structuralist approach, I think,
that suited Ken’s temperament. What he found particularly attractive in LéviStrauss was the notion of culture autonomously transforming itself according to the
inherent possibilities and constraints of a rational logic. A good example is his
analysis of the Australian fire myths which he argues can be ordered as segments of
a supermyth generated by a mathematical formula of which the Aborigines
themselves were presumably unconscious. Such structures, supposing they exist,
provide explanations of a very different order from Freud’s concept of the
unconscious and the associated idea of culture as a way of dealing with unruly
emotions.
While Ken was in Sydney on his first visit he bought a copy of John
Anderson’s Studies in Empirical Philosophy. He was already familiar with the
Libertarian Broadsheet and continued to contribute to its successor Heraclitus until
a few years ago. While Ken was always keen to point out common ground between
Anderson and Lévi-Strauss, such as the notion of social or cultural movements
taking up and working through the minds of individual thinkers, it seemed to me
they stood for two rather different though perhaps complementary strands in his
intellectual composition: Lévi-Strauss on the one hand focussing upon ideas as
instruments for ordering the chaos of experience, Anderson on the other hand
preoccupied with the distorting role of ideology through which interests are
concealed and authority imposed. It was Lévi-Strauss who reinforced Ken’s interest
in the crystalline properties of thought, Anderson who intensified his impatience
with the impurities of sentimentality, mystification and self-serving humbug.
The passage through parliament of the 1976 Northern Territory land rights
act was a watershed not only in Aboriginal affairs but in Australian anthropology as
well. Anthropologists with a background in Aboriginal studies came into increasing
demand as consultants and expert witnesses in a legal process that effected a return
8
OCEANIA NEWSLETTER 30/31
of almost half of the Northern Territory from colonial to Aboriginal ownership. Ken
was in the forefront of this revolution, assisting the Land Commissioner in one case
and the Land Councils in several others, but more importantly publishing a series of
analyses and running commentaries for which his combined skills in anthropology
and law provided an unmatched authority. At a more general level, while in Holland
on sabbatical leave in 1979-80, he produced a monograph entitled Anthropology,
Law and the Definition of Australian Aboriginal Rights to Land, which became a
precursor to his book Your Land is Our Land (Penguin, 1983). The latter provided
not only an anthropological and legal background to the land rights struggle in the
Northern Territory but also considered earlier trends in European thought manifest
in the writings of such scholars as the philosopher John Locke and the Swiss jurist
Emer de Vattel.
The first twenty-five years of Ken’s professional career in Australia were by
any standards a period of outstanding achievement. By the mid-1980s he was a
major figure in Australian anthropology, the father of three fine children, and the
husband of a woman who was as much his intellectual partner as the joint custodian
of his genetic future. Yet it was about this time that he entered what is vulgarly but
perhaps aptly referred to as a ‘mid-life crisis’. I have no doubt that it was during this
period that he began the depressing process of self-assessment that made him
wonder whether he was ever going to score the coveted century. To pass over it like
that, however, would be to trivialise something much more significant. The fact of
the matter is that the profession itself was in a state of crisis, though whether as a
prelude to death or some unrecognizable metamorphosis no one could confidently
say. Topics and issues that had been at the heart of the discipline since its inception,
including many of those Ken had devoted his best years to, no longer seemed to be
of interest. More to the point, they were likely to be stigmatised as ‘inappropriate’.
In the view of a new generation the primary responsibility of anthropologists was
not to advance their discipline but to advance its subjects.
Both, one would hope, are moral enterprises which can be pursued
simultaneously. It should be possible, as Ken put it, to mix science with sympathy.
Unfortunately, however, as the century drew to a close, situations arose in which it
seemed a choice had to be made between one or the other. At any rate, a bias in one
direction or the other created a schism within the profession, particularly in that part
of it involved in Aboriginal studies. There was never any doubt what values Ken
would give priority to if a choice was forced on him. In one of his last essays,
published in Anthropology Today, he spoke of ‘the dubious pleasures of
commitment’. “The use to which anthropologists put information”, he wrote, “can
with some justification be cynically regarded if they appear to be blurring the
boundary between the anthropologist as expert and the anthropologist as partisan or
advocate.” He did not pretend that it was easy to maintain that boundary or even to
know where it should be drawn. But there was no doubt that if it was shifted too far
or eroded altogether, the status of anthropology as a branch of knowledge would
disappear.
Ken’s public defence of that status was both courageous and painful. To
some within the profession he became a hero, to others an enemy. Whatever
soreness he may have felt on that account would be mollified by testimonies to his
integrity already beginning to appear, some of them from colleagues with whom he
9
OCEANIA NEWSLETTER 30/31
found himself in dispute. I believe the healing process will continue and that
anthropology as Ken knew and loved it will in time re-emerge as a scholarly
discipline, more mature and leaner in appearance perhaps, but acknowledged as
having played a leading if not dominant role in shaping the humanities during the
twentieth century. Ken’s contribution to that era, as a fieldworker, thinker, and
scholar committed to the values of science, is assured of an honoured place.

IN MEMORIAM KEN MADDOCK
With the death of Ken Maddock, emeritus professor at Macquarie University,
Australia has lost one of its most distinguished and intellectual anthropologists.
Dr. Les Hiatt, his long time colleague, gave us permission to reprint his eulogy (see
this Newsletter, pp. 7-10).
Here I want to emphasise Ken’s interest in and close connection with Dutch
Anthropology and Folk Law. In 1976 Ken and his family spent one year at our
university mainly to study Indonesian adat law and to write a study on Aboriginal
rights to land2. Ken’s first degree was as a lawyer, and then he took a first class
honours degree in Anthropology in New Zealand before coming to Australia to
carry out postgraduate fieldwork in southern Arnhem Land on religious ceremonies
of the indigenous Australians. The combination of Law and Anthropology was
reflected in his logical writing, independent spirit and his careful legal reasoning.
Personally I owe a lot to Ken. He was my supervisor when I became a Ph.D.
student at Macquarie from 1972 till 1975. In that capacity he was the most critical
supervisor, but at the same time a warm and stimulating friend and (future)
colleague. He and Sheila also helped in many other ways. When we (my wife
Elfrida and I) first arrived in Sydney they offered us their hospitality and we stayed
in their Annandale house for many weeks. The same happened after we returned
from our fieldwork by the end of 1973. We dearly remember that period in
Annandale and the various visits in the following years. The last time we met was in
2001. The four of us spent a day in down town Sydney, had lunch with excellent
wine at the Oyster bar near the Opera House and strolled around the Botanical
Gardens. Little did we realise that our farewell at Wynyard station that night was
the last time Elfrida and I would see Ken.
On behalf of our staff I wish to express my condolences to Sheila and their children.

Making OH, WHAT A BLOW THAT PHANTOM GAVE ME!
(Oh, What a Blow That Phantom Gave Me! A New Film by John Bishop &
Harald Prins. 55 mins. Produced by Media Works, Northridge CA: 2003.)
By John Bishop3 & Harald Prins4
Oh, What A Blow That Phantom Gave Me! is a film about the life and work of
anthropologist, Edmund Carpenter. His 1972 book by the same name, takes its title
from a passage in Don Quixote in which the knight errant is beaten by an invisible
assailant, much the way invisible electronic media pummel the world today. The
heart of the book is about his experiences in Papua New Guinea in 1969 when he
researched the affect of radio, film, television, audio recording, and still
photography on the diverse and fragmented population of that soon-to-be unified
country. The book sits at the center of a career in which Carpenter grappled with
personal ethnographic experiences and how to most effectively and accurately
recount their essence in the forms of modern media. It challenges comfortable
notions of representation, cultural preservation, and dissemination of ideas through
media.
The recently completed film focuses on Dr. Carpenter's pioneering role in the
development of visual anthropology and media ecology. A maverick who explored
the borderlands between ethnography and media for more than fifty years, he was
probably the first professional anthropologist in the world to host a national
television program. Certainly, he was one of the first scholars to focus attention on
the revolutionary impact of film and photography on traditional tribal peoples.
In 1948 Carpenter (PhD, University of Pennsylvania 1950) teamed up with
Marshall McLuhan in a collaboration that lasted until McLuhan's death in 1980 and
broke new ground in our cross-cultural understanding of modern media. He also
headed the first anthropology department in which visual media formed a central
component of the curriculum (CSU-Northridge 1957-67). Having taught at several
universities, including the University of Toronto, the New School for Social
Research, and the University of Papua New Guinea, he has authored many
publications on culture and media and been instrumental in the production of
numerous anthropological films.
In this documentary, the famously-elusive scholar comments on his wideranging fieldwork in the Canadian Arctic and Papua New Guinea, concepts of
authenticity and truth in media and art, the relationship between anthropology and
surrealism, and the impossibility of preserving culture. Much of the film is built
from his Highland New Guinea footage, including a riveting scene of an Upper
Sepik River tribal initiation in which a crocodile skin pattern is cut into the skin of
Papua initiates.
Because Carpenter's cross-cultural explorations in media are so closely
intertwined with those of McLuhan, this film spotlights his deep friendship and
close collaboration with this media guru of the 1960s. Almost forgotten after his

death, McLuhan is now becoming fashionable again. His once-strange ideas about
electronic media now seem perfectly obvious in light of the World Wide Web.
Coinciding with the current McLuhan renaissance, Carpenter is now being claimed
as a pioneer in the emerging field of Media Ecology and enjoys a new recognition
as one of the founders of the Toronto School of Communication.
A maverick and protégé of Marshall McLuhan, Carpenter opened the
Pandora's box of electronic media with delight and horror; he embraced it even as
he recoiled from its omnipotence. (For a detailed review of Carpenter's remarkable
life story and career, see Prins & Bishop 2002.) The film Oh, What A Blow That
Phantom Gave Me! dives into the tensions between art and anthropology, film and
culture, evokes the ironies and insights of his cult classic book of the same name,
and resurrects his unique 1969-70 New Guinea film footage, widely thought to have
been lost.
The film pulls together a number of elements:
* Footage shot by Carpenter and Adelaide de Menil in Papua New Guinea in 1969:
This footage had languished in steamer trunks since Carpenter’s return from New
Guinea. Amazingly, the original negative had resisted the ravages of time, and was
cleaned and telecined. As the images, unseen for decades, came to life again on the
screen in the lab, it became apparent that they represented many of the moments
described in the book, Oh, What A Blow That Phantom Gave Me! The New Guinea
footage forms a central element in the film.
* Footage shot at Northridge, CA in February 1999: Carpenter came to Los Angeles
to deliver a lecture in the Anthropology Dept he had founded at San Fernando
Valley State College, now California State University, Northridge. Two interviews
of Carpenter were filmed as he talked with friend and former SFVSC colleague,
Bess Lomax Hawes, with whom he collaborated on several film projects.
* Footage shot at Easthampton, NY in April 2000: For all his brilliance and wit, and
grace in conversation and writing, Ted is a reticent man, not hungry for the
spotlight. When the filmmakers approached him for interviews in New York, he
countered with an alternative idea - come out to his estate in Easthampton for a few
days of conversation, not only with him, but with other guests. In April 2000
Adelaide de Menil assembled a group including filmmaker Robert Gardner,
anthropologist William Sturtevant, linguist Sally Sturtevant, filmmaker Richard
Rogers, photographer Susan Meiselas, anthropologist Jayasinhji Jhala,
anthropologist Lucien Taylor, anthropology graduate student Bruce Broce, writer
Bunny McBride, and new media Roderick Coover. Filmmakers John Marshall and
David Mac Dougall were unable to attend. From a wonderful series of
conversations in a glorious setting, came footage of two formal interviews with Ted,
and many informal moments and long conversations that touched on many aspects
of media, archiving, preservation, and ethnographic film.
* Footage shot in Houston, TX in 1999 by Laurie McDonald: This is an informal
interview of Ted about Witness, an exhibit he curated at the Menil Collection about
ethnographic and other objects collected by surrealists.
* Footage shot in Easthampton in November 2001: Additional informal
conversations with Ted Carpenter were shot in Easthampton during 2001.

* In addition, the film includes footage from Carpenter’s 1969 film College, footage
of his early television shows from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation archives,
footage from an unfinished film about Eskimo art, and films on the Georgia Sea
Island Singers he made in 1962 and 1964 with Bess Hawes based on Alan Lomax’s
field work.
The challenge in making an independent film that does not conform to television
genres is finding the form and structure that melds with the subject. As Ted put it,
“I’ve always felt that for every kind of experience, there is a proper format. And one
of the things is to try to find that format.” The first edit structured the film around
the gathering in Easthampton. When that did not play out, the scope was expanded
to shift the focus to Carpenter’s role in ethnographic film and visual anthropology,
filling in the absent participants with interviews and conversations made elsewhere.
But it soon became apparent that Ted was the real subject, and that the
correspondence between the text of his book and the 1969 Papua New Guinea
footage was the strongest visual and thematic thread. Carpenter emerged as more
trickster than pendant -- an acute observer, an acerbic commentator, and an
intellectual provocateur.

PAIKEDA. MAN IN STONE. De Vries, Ineke 2003. Colour film, with subtitles
and voice-over. Produced in four versions using Me, Indonesian, English and Dutch
respectively. Camera: W. Wentholt and W. van Wilgenburg. Duration 55 minutes.
(See for further info under ‘Announcements’.)
Reviewed by Anton Ploeg
(Centre for Pacific and Asian Studies)
De Vries got to know about the stone figurines that this film documents from an
unpublished note written by Sibbele Hylkema, a Franciscan missionary. He worked
for over 20 years among the Me, in the western tip of the central highlands of West
Papua. She learnt about the Me term paikeda, man in stone, when she was in
Enarotali, after she had gone to the Me to find out more about these artefacts.
The resulting film is the first documentation of prehistoric stone figurines found in
the central highlands of West Papua. Pospisil, who carried out field research in the
Kamu Valley, immediately west of the Paniai lakes, referred briefly to stone
charms, smooth dark pebbles, which Me carried on them for protection (1963: 2789). Prehistoric stone sculptures are much longer known from Papua New Guinea,
both from the highlands and parts of the lowlands. There, there are several
categories of such artefacts. In 1938-1939 Williams noted stone mortars used in the
Lake Kutubu area in what is now Southern Highlands Province (1976: 191f). They
were prehistoric objects in that they were found ready-made. However, after people
had come across them they had started using them for ritual purposes. In a survey
published in 1964, Sue and Ralph Bulmer report and discuss the prehistoric stone
artefacts found in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Most were mortars and stone
club heads; there were fewer pestles and even fewer figurines (1964: 67f). They
regarded these four types as belonging to a single complex, since most figurines can
be interpreted as pestle handles and since manufacturing techniques are similar
(1964: 69). Hypotheses about the use of these objects mainly concern the objects
that could have been ground or mashed by means of the mortars and pestles (e.g.
Ambrose 1991).
In West Papua the figurines were found in the territories of the Me, a large
ethnic group living in the western tip of the central highlands, from the Paniai lakes
area onwards. It seems noteworthy to me that so far only figurines have been found.
Hence it is doubtful whether the association mortar-pestle-figurines, supposed by
the Bulmers, obtained in the Me area. Van Nunen, appearing in the film during a
discussion with de Vries, shows her a picture of a figurine found in the Grand
Valley of the Baliem in 1987, to my knowledge the only such artefact found in the
area east from the Paniai lakes area to the border with Papua New Guinea. Hence
also in this area the association mortar-pestles-figurines has not been confirmed so
far. The impression that the film gives is that the artefacts were found only recently,
since 1967, and it remains unclear why this is so.
Hylkema was the first outsider to note the existence of the figurines among
the Me. In an unpublished note he reported about the ones that had come to his
notice. This note prompted de Vries to start her investigations in 2000. The
15
OCEANIA NEWSLETTER 30/31
resulting film casts her field research as a travelogue showing her on her way to, in
and back from the Me area. She travelled via Jayapura and the film shows her
interviewing Mansoben, the head of the anthropology department of UNCEN, the
Universitas Cendrewasih, Giay, himself a Me, and a PhD graduate of the Free
University at Amsterdam, and Alfons van Nunen ofm, the ethnographer of the
Moni, the easterly neighbours of the Me.
The other Me whom she interviewed lived in various parts of the Me habitat,
mostly near the locations where figurines have been found. Several stressed that,
currently, Me do not know the techniques to make such objects, thus implying, it
seems, that the objects are of supernatural origin. The finder of one of them kept it
under lock in his house. He told de Vries that after his find he had received eight
messages in his dreams. Part of the content he declined to divulge. But he did say
that they revealed the central place of New Guinea in world affairs and as the
gateway to heaven. An officer of the OPM, the forces opposing the Indonesian
government, wore one as a pendant around his neck, hidden under his shirt, to
provide invulnerability. At Timeepa people showed the greatest ambivalence
towards the figurine found when the building site for a Catholic church (!) was
being levelled. They had been afraid of its power, and had reburied it. Hylkema had
seen to it that it went to Enarotali for examination. But when de Vries told them that
she had seen it there, they emphatically wanted it back.
It is a pity that Paikeda does not contain a full description of the artefacts. However,
it is clear that they differ considerably in size. The types of stone used also seem to
differ. That the film discusses not merely the prehistoric aspects of these artefacts,
but also their contemporary use and significance, is most valuable. In sum, the film
is a significant addition to the extant ethnography, and a pointer for further research.
The film is available from the Foundation ApaMana (apamana@planet.nl).

Women's Business
From 18 September 2003 till 14 March 2004
At the end of the seventies a group of Aboriginal women from Utopia, an area
northeast of Alice Springs, takes part in a special project: they learn how to batik.
The women initially use cotton cloths for making skirts and children's clothes.
When money becomes available for a more professional approach to batiking, the
women turn from cotton to silk. These batiks are acquired and exhibited by various
museums in Australia. The exhibition Women's Business will show over twenty
batiks on silk.
By the end of the eighties the women are encouraged to
use acrylic paint when working on canvas. The result
takes the Australian art-world by surprise. By using a
new technique and different materials, the women cut
loose from their traditional way of painting and produce
work that is autonomous, colourful and innovative. A
number of female Aboriginal artists become
internationally known. Five of them, Emily Kame
Kngwarreye, Ada Bird, Gloria Petyarre, Kathleen
Petyarre and Joy Jones Kngwarreye, will be represented
in the Women's Business exhibition by paintings as well
as batiks. (More about this on: www.aamu.nl)

innovative paintings, textiles and sculpture as well as elaborate ritual headdresses,
colourful baskets and mats. Continuities between past and present are shown in the
juxtaposition of historic pieces drawn from the Museum’s extensive collections,
many of which have never been displayed.
The exhibition highlights the importance of museum collecting in stimulating
indigenous art production. It also reflects ongoing dialogues between Cambridge

found with the associated collections in the permanent displays. One panel deals
with Australia and the differing interpretations of the Aboriginal people through
their material culture. The other panels consider the site of Star Carr that has been
variously interpreted since its excavation, due to its remarkable preservation, as
have the Alpine Lakes. This exhibition aims at transmitting the message that the

VIOLENCE AND VENGEANCE. Discontent and Conflict in New Order
Indonesia
Indonesia’s recent history has seen a range of violent clashes in various parts of the
archipelago and since the fall of President Suharto in 1998 the nation has been rent
by regionalist, religious and ethnic conflicts. Seen from that perspective, the
Suharto years – the so-called New Order period that started with a coup d’état in
1965 – may look relatively quiet. Violence and Vengeance is a collection of essays
which provide an alternative and in-depth view of the socio-political climate of the
1960s through the 1990s. The essays show that in those years the threat and use of
violence to achieve public or private objectives was common practice. Foremost
instigator and employer of violence was the authoritarian state, which in asserting
its authority easily resorted to illegal or extra-legal methods. Nevertheless, it was
unable to enforce an actual monopoly on the means of violence as separatist
movements and opposition groups as well as criminal gangs also had access to
weapons. To suppress opposition, the state willingly and knowingly employed
paramilitary units and criminals, while it allowed the private sector to establish
semi-autonomous vigilantes. Violence became privatised and pervaded Indonesian
society in such a way that even in their personal lives, people resorted to violent
ways of settling private scores or of making their power felt. The roots of presentday violence in Indonesia are at least partly to be found in New Order politics.
Frans Hüsken (1945) and Huub de Jonge (1946) both
have extensive fieldwork experience in Indonesia and
have published on various aspects of Indonesian social
and economic development. At present, they are on the
staff of the Department of Anthropology and
Development Studies at the University of Nijmegen.

PAIKEDA – MAN IN STONE
VHS or VCD; 55 minutes; Original languages: English, Dutch, Indonesian and MePapuan; Subtitling and Voice Over in English; Director and research: Ineke de
Vries; Camera: Wyger Wentholt, Wendy van Wilgenburg; Editing: Wendy van
Wilgenburg; Music: mouth harp by L. Tegeke, songs by Paniai men, recorded

This documentary takes you to the remote highlands of West-Papua (Irian Jaya),
Indonesia. Here, occasionally stone figurines are found in the ground. The origin of
these stone figures (shaped as men or animal) is mysterious. The Me Papuans who
live here never carved stone figures. They even never made or presently make
wooden figurines.
The Me people consider the stone figures magical. In some cases, the figures
were entrusted to missionaries. Anthropologist De Vries found out about the
existence of the figures, through one of these missionaries. She was caught by their
mysterious origin. But even more, she became interested in the stories of the people
who found these stone figures. She travelled in Papua to investigate the background
of these discoveries and the meaning of the figures to the Me-people.
In this moving film report, the viewer travels together with her to one of the
most stunning regions of Papua and its colourful inhabitants. De Vries manages to
get the confidence of the villagers. PAIKEDA tells you why Me are scared by the
stone figures, and how the power of PAIKEDA protects them. Opinions of
scientists vary about the origin of the figures, but nobody, interviewed by de Vries,
doubts their magical power.
The film is available on VHS-tape (PAL) for € 29 and on VCD for € 24, including
international postage. For institutions the price is € 100. For more information and

“This multidisciplinary volume discusses the impact of tourism on sustainable
development in the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the Mediterranean. Bringing together
scholars, development practitioners, international experts, and professionals, the
contributors discuss the issues from a holistic and transnational perspective. This work
provides a much-needed, thorough understanding of the interplay among economic,
cultural, environmental, and public health parameters. The contributors provide a
workable definition of sustainable development that can be understood, conveyed, and
implemented by policy makers, development practitioners, and tourism professionals.
Among the special issues addressed here are the role of women in tourism, the
contradictions inherent in cultural tourism, the hegemony of tour operators, disease
mapping and risk assessment, and island community involvement in tourism-related
land-use planning.”

“Nearly a century ago, it was predicted that Kula, the exchange of shell valuables in the
Massim region of Papua New Guinea, would disappear. Not only has this prophecy
failed to come true, but today Kula is expanding beyond these island communities to the
mainland and Australia. This book unveils the many deep motivations and meanings
that lie behind the pursuit of Kula. Focusing upon the visually stimulating carved and
painted prow boards that decorate canoes used by the Kula voyagers, Campbell argues
that these designs comprise layers of encoded meaning. The unique colour associations
and other formal elements ‘speak’ to Vakutans about key emotional issues within their
everyday and spiritual lives. How is men’s participation in the Kula linked to their
desire to achieve immortality? How do the messages conveyed by the canoe boards
converge with those presented in Kula myths and rituals? In what ways do these
systems of meaning reveal a male ideology that competes with the prevailing female
ideology?”

Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu have all raised troubling questions about the control
and misuse of firearms in the Pacific Islands. Under the Gun examines the challenges
presented by small arms and light weapons in the Pacific. It looks at: 1. the legal
framework for the regulation of firearms in Pacific states; 2. the legal trade in small
arms in the region; 3. the cross-border illicit trade in small arms and ammunition; 4.
illegal weapons and the problems they cause; 5. leakage of arms and ammunition from
military and police armouries. David Capie concludes that effectively combating the
growing small arms problem in the Pacific will require comprehensive and sustained
policies by governments within the region and help from the international community.
These include revising outdated firearms laws, strengthening law enforcement and
securing military and police weapons. Ultimately, however, addressing the problem will
require a long-term commitment to creating sustainable economic opportunities,
improving levels of governance and strengthening state capacity throughout the region.”

Press. 288 pages. ISBN: 1-85973-671-8 (paper) and 1-85973-666-1 (cloth).
“This book examines the multiple histories of cloth and clothing in the Pacific. The past
three decades have witnessed the emergence of Pacific fashion stylists as well as cloth
producers who are acutely aware of how globalization impacts on identity. Typically,
their work integrates both Pacific and introduced forms. This book compares these
synthetic forms with others that developed in the region during the colonial period,
when foreign cloth was typically adapted and incorporated within indigenous textile
systems, and shows how cloth is central to the transmission of identity as well as a
vehicle for associative thinking. From an analysis of the place of cloth in traditional
Tahitian religion, to fashion activism within the diaspora population in New Zealand,
this book provides fascinating insights into the shifting relationship between cloth and
social imagination. By tracing the diverse responses to the imposition of dress upon
Pacific Islanders, this book profoundly challenges Western assumptions about the place
of cloth in culture.”

“Restorative justice, says Dr Dinnen, appreciates that we are not atomised individuals,

and the Pacific Islands? Auckland: Penguin Books. ISBN: 0-14-301857-4 (paperback).
“Professor Howe was prompted to write his eighth book to refute the ‘New Age’ claims
abounding at the moment that advanced ancient civilisations inhabited the Pacific
region long before the Polynesian people. Evidence from archaeology, linguistics,
physical biology, including genetic study and anthropology, is examined. These
independent disciplines come up with exactly the same findings, that the first settlers
came to New Zealand around 1300. They were Polynesian people whose ancestors were
the Austronesians who migrated from the South China/Taiwan area 4000 to 5000 years
ago. This is at odds with the ‘new learning’ that New Zealand was inhabited much
earlier by an advanced culture. The book also looks at the history of Western ideas
about Polynesian origins. Cook saw the similarities among cultures across the Pacific
and suggested South East Asian origins. His views were supplanted by later colonial
commentators such as Percy Smith, who created versions of Polynesian history that had
classical Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Aryan origins for Maori.”

“Pacific Islander Americans constitute one of the United States’ least understood ethnic
groups. As expected, stereotypes abound: Samoans are good at football; Hawaiians
make the best surfers; all Tahitians dance. Although Pacific history, society, and culture
have been the subjects of much scholarly research and writing, the lives of Pacific
Islanders in the diaspora (particularly in the U.S.) have received far less attention. The
contributors to this volume of articles and essays compiled by the Pacific Islander
Americans Research Project hope to rectify this oversight. Pacific Diaspora brings
together the individual and community histories of Pacific Island peoples in the U.S. It
is designed for use in Pacific and ethnic studies courses, but it will also find an audience
among those with a general interest in Pacific Islander Americans.”
Sturma, Michael. 2002. South Sea Maidens: Western Fantasy and Sexual Politics in the
South Pacific. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press.
“From the first European contact with Tahiti in 1767, the myth of the South Sea maiden
has endured through many incarnations. Although the maiden frequently provided an
idealized antidote to Western women’s self-assertion, the South Pacific also afforded a
space where boundaries between the sexes could be relaxed and transgressed. From
James Cook and Captain Bligh to James Michener and Margaret Mead, the ‘Island girl’
has occupied a special place in the erotic imagination of the West. In a sweeping study
that embraces history, literature, visual arts, anthropology and film, this study gives
fresh insight into the myths and reality of a Western icon.”

Placenames of Indigenous Origin in Australia. Canberra: Pandanus Books in
association with Pacific Linguistics, RSPAS, ANU. 328 pages. ISBN: 1-74076-020-4.
“In areas where Indigenous societies remain relatively intact, thousands of Indigenous
placenames are used, but have no official recognition. Little is known about principles
of forming and bestowing Indigenous placenames. Still less is known about any
variation in principles of placename bestowal found in different Indigenous groups.
While many Indigenous placenames have been taken into the official placename
system, they are often given to different features from those to which they originally
applied. In the process, they have been cut off from any understanding of their original
meanings. Attempts are now being made to ensure that additions of Indigenous
placenames to the system of official placenames more accurately reflect the traditions
they come from. The eighteen chapters in this book range across all of these issues. The
contributors (linguistics, historians and anthropologists) bring a wide range of different

experiences, both academic and practical, to their contributions. The book promises to
be a standard reference work on Indigenous placenames in Australia for many years to
come.”

“John Lort Stokes was commissioned by the British Hydrographic Office in 1837 to
survey and chart unknown parts of the Australian coastline. He was the last Royal Navy
surveyor to hold such a roving commission - as had Matthew Flinders and Phillip
Parker King before him. The voyage lasted six years and his ship was H.M.S. Beagle, of
Charles Darwin fame. Stokes circumnavigated Australia twice. In the north he
discovered the Fitzroy, Albert and Flinders rivers and Port Darwin, and in the south
charted that graveyard of sailing ships, Bass Strait. A century later, twelve of his charts
were still in use.”
Hume, Lynne. 2002. Ancestral Power: The Dreaming, Consciousness and Aboriginal
Australians. Melbourne: Melbourne University Press. 224 pages. ISBN: 0-522-85012-X
(PB).
“The Dreaming, or the Dreamtime, is the English translation of a complex Aboriginal
religious concept. It relates to the idea of an ancestral presence which exists as a
spiritual power that is deeply present in the land. This presence or power also exists in
certain paintings, in some dance performances, and in songs, blood and ceremonial
objects. In her book Lynne Hume seeks to further our understanding of human
consciousness by looking through a Western lens at the concept of the Dreaming. She
examines the idea that Aboriginal people may have used certain techniques for entering
altered states of consciousness. Could their experiences in such states, together with
their extensive knowledge of their environment, have helped to create the cosmological
scheme we call the Dreaming? With these questions in mind, she brings together and
examines, for the first time, a wide range of existing literature on Aboriginal cosmology
and spiritual practices, together with studies of Aboriginal art, data from anthropologists
and ethnomusicologists, and statements by Aboriginal people from many different
regional areas of Australia.”

“When Europeans first arrived in the Kimberley, a turbulent era began for the
indigenous people. Finally granted cash wages in 1950, they still received nothing more
than a ‘pocket money’ allowance and suffered appalling working conditions. In this
absorbing study, survivors of this devastating time speak openly to Mary Anne Jebb
about first contact between blacks and whites, the arrival of Welfare, and the demise of
pastoralism in the northern ranges. Alongside their oral testimonies, the author draws on
a range of written archives to explore what really happened during the settlement of the
Kimberley.”

“The continent of Australia houses the world's largest gallery of rock art. These ancient
artworks tell of the birth of the world and the creation of ancestral humans, of the
creatures who made the landscape and gave humans their laws, of contact with
seafaring races from the north, and of fateful meetings with European arrivals. How do
archaeologists read and interpret these artworks in order to better understand the people
and societies that created them? M. J. Morwood reviews the techniques, methodologies,
and technologies that scientists employ and explains why their insights often cannot be
gained through other types of archaeological evidence. The symbolic evidence found in
rock art is virtually the only window into understanding the ideology, territoriality,
resource use, and social organization of an ancient society.”

“In 1860, an eccentric Irish police officer named Robert O’Hara Burke set out to
Melbourne at the head of the most ambitious expedition of his age. Up until this point
Australia had remained a truly dark continent, but times were changing. On 20 August
Burke and his team of eighteen men made a confident start – journeying north towards
the Gulf of Carpentaria. Accompanied by William Wills, a shy English scientist, he was
prepared to risk everything to cross the continent. Meanwhile, John McDouall Stuart, a
dour Scotsman with a fondness for the bottle, was already trekking north from Adelaide.
The race was on. A few months later, an ancient coolibah tree at Cooper Creek bore a
strange carving: ‘Dig Under 3ft NW’. Burke, Wills and five other men were dead. The
expedition had become an astonishing tragedy.”

“This book Painting Culture tells the complex story of how, over the past three decades,
the acrylic “dot” paintings of central Australia were transformed into objects of
international high art, eagerly sought by upscale galleries and collectors. Since the early
1970s, Fred R. Myers has studied - often as a participant-observer - the Pintupi, one of
several Aboriginal groups who paint the famous acrylic works. Describing their
paintings and the complicated cultural issues they raise, Myers looks at the ways the
paintings represent Aboriginal people and their culture, and how their heritage is
translated into exchangeable values. He tracks the way these paintings become high art
as they move outward from indigenous communities through and among other social
institutions - the world of dealers, museums, and critics. At the same time, he shows
how this change in the status of the acrylic paintings is directly related to the initiative
of the painters themselves, representing their hopes for new levels of recognition.”

Honolulu: University of Hawai’i Press. ISBN: 0-8248-2535-7 (cloth). 216 pages.
“In the first decades after independence in 1980, kastom - indigenous knowledge and
practice - became a key marker of ni-Vanuatu identity. However, it was almost entirely
concerned with men. Then in 1991 the Vanuatu Cultural Centre initiated a project that
focused on women’s knowledge and skill in producing plaited pandanus textiles (mats)
on the island of Ambae in north Vanuatu. This acknowledgment that ‘women have
kastom too,’ widely welcomed by rural ni-Vanuatu, was an important step in
establishing women’s kastom. Lissant Bolton’s account of this important but
undocumented period considers the circumstances that led to these events and analyzes
their effects on Ambae. Her ethnography of women’s production and use of plaited
pandanus textiles shows a changing world whereby colonial and missionary ideas about
the position of women and feminist discourses on women’s rights have engaged with
specific, kinship-based constructions of gender to create contemporary ni-Vanuatu
views on the position of women.”

Focusing on exchange and its underlying ethics, this book explores the concept of the

labor, mutual support, apologetic gifts, revenge and punishment, kula exchange, and
mortuary gifts. It discusses in detail the characteristics of small gifts (such as betel
nuts), big gifts (kula valuables, pigs, and large yams) and money as they appear in
exchange contexts.”

With a new introduction by Paul B. Roscoe. ISBN: 0-7658-0985-0 (paperback).
“Mead’s study encapsulates all aspects of the Arapesh culture. She discusses betrothal
and marriage customs, sexuality, gender roles, diet, religion, arts, agriculture, and rites
of passage. In possibly a portent for the breakdown of traditional roles and beliefs in the
latter part of the twentieth century, Mead discusses the purpose of rites of passage in
maintaining societal values and social control. Mead also discovered that both male and
female parents took an active role in raising their children. Furthermore, it was found
that there were few conflicts over property: the Arapesh, having no concept of land
ownership, maintained a peaceful existence with each other. In his new introduction to
the book, Paul B. Roscoe assesses the importance of Mead’s work in light of modern
anthropological and ethnographic research, as well as how it fits into her own canon of
writings. Roscoe discusses findings he culled from a trip to Papua New Guinea in 1991
to clarify some ambiguities in Mead’s work. His travels also served to help reconstruct
what had happened to the Arapesh since Mead’s historic visit in the early 1930s.”

Asia Pacific Press, Asia Pacific School of Economics and Management, Australian
National University. ISBN: 0-7315-3681-9.
“This book builds on the arguments and views of many PNG observers that community
controls are more effective in controlling crime than state controls. Papua New Guinea
is a weak state in that it is depleted by frequent political leadership changes and
corruption, manifesting in an increasing inability to provide goods and services to its
citizens and an increasing inability to control crime. Peter Donigi, the Papua New
Guinea UN representative, says ‘it is not the system of government or its laws that is
undermining good governance, but the choice of people in senior posts and political
interference in administrating the public sector’. Another dilemma of controlling crime
in Papua New Guinea, is that what may be a crime according to state law, may not be a
crime according to local law, and what may be considered a minor crime by the state, is
a serious crime under local law. Maxine Pitts guides the reader through anecdotal and
factual data to show the relationship between politics, leadership, accountability,
corruption and capacity - within and between state agencies and local communities and how that relationship often stigmatises both state and community crime control
initiatives.”

“The authors present a historical picture of gender relations in Highlands New Guinea
by exploring domains of imagination as revealed in courting songs, ballads, and
folktales from across the Highlands but with particular reference to field areas in the
western Highlands. The examples draw the reader into the imaginative world of the
people, while the analytical framework sets the discussion firmly into debates within
interpretive anthropology. The aim is to re-examine the images of gender relations in
Highlands New Guinea by revealing the sensuous and emotional modalities of
expressive folk genres and their aesthetic qualities. Ideas and practices centered on
female spirit entities are shown to be important and pervasive in cult contexts, and these
spirits were felt to have a significant influence on relations of courtship, marriage, and
reproduction.”
Stewart, Pamela J. and Andrew Strathern. 2002. Remaking the World: Myth, Mining, and

“The Duna, horticulturalists in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, have an intimate
relationship with their environment. Complex rituals (rindi kiniya, ‘straightening the
ground’) are used to remake their world in response to sickness, poor crop yields, and
infertility. Since the 1930s the Duna have had to recast their vision in response to the
encroaching outside world. Drawing on both their own fieldwork from 1991 to 1999
and older written sources, Stewart and Strathern explore how the Duna have remade
their rituals and associated myths in response to the outside influences of government,
Christianity, and large-scale economic development, specifically mining and oil
prospecting. The authors provide in-depth ethnographic materials on the Duna and
present many detailed descriptions of ritual practices that have been abandoned. This
study is a timely contribution to the literature on agency and the making of cultural
identity by indigenous peoples facing economic, social, and political change.”

London and New York: Continuum Publishing. ISBN: 0-8264-6007-0 (cloth) and 08264-6008-9 (paper).
“The book explores the meanings and contexts in which violent actions occur. The
authors build upon David Riches’s concept of ‘the triangle of violence’, which
examines the relationship between performers, victims, and witnesses, and the
proposition that violence is marked by contests regarding its legitimacy as a social act.
Adopting an approach which looks at the negotiated and contingent nature of violent
behavior, Stewart and Strathern stress the powerful underlying motivation for revenge
and the often unacknowledged association between ideas of revenge and concepts of
justice. These theoretical perspectives are applied to in-depth case studies from
Rwanda-Urundi, Sri Lanka, Northern Ireland, and extensively on materials from Papua

224 pages.
“This book combines two classic topics in social anthropology in a new synthesis: the
study of witchcraft and sorcery and the study of rumours and gossip. It shows how
rumour and gossip are invariably important as catalysts for accusations of witchcraft
and sorcery, and demonstrates the role of rumour and gossip in the genesis of social and
political violence, as in the case of both peasant rebellions and witch-hunts. Examples
supporting the argument are drawn from Africa, Europe, India, Papua New Guinea, Sri
Lanka, and Indonesia. They include discussions of witchcraft trials in Essex, England in
the seventeenth century, witch-hunts and vampire narratives in colonial and
contemporary Africa, millenarian movements in New Guinea, the Indian Mutiny in
nineteenth-century Uttar Pradesh, and rumours of construction sacrifice in Indonesia.”

“This play is adapted from Jonathan Fifi’i’s autobiography, From Pig-theft to
Parliament. Fifi’i experienced or observed major events in Solomon Islands history: the
tax collecting and killing of Mr Bell; World War II, when he helped the Americans;
Ma’asina Rule, of which he was a leader; the lead-up to independence and the postindependence parliament in which he was a member. Fifi’i’s story is perhaps the most
comprehensive account of modern Solomon Islands history written from a truly
Solomon Islands perspective. The play is targeted particularly at school audiences in the
Pacific Islands.”

“A refreshing theoretical reflection on the links between the Fijan vanua and theology.
A journey of reconciliation with Fiji’s multiculturalism and a search to define
contemporary Fijian identity. Comparing migration myths to the trinity of vanua, lotu,

“A novella set in the Marshall Islands that presents a range of Marshallese myths
interweaving with a contemporary setting. A young couple, Joy and Geoff, move from
their Australian home to the Marshall Islands. During the couple's move, Joy becomes
pregnant and gives birth to a son, Daniel. Daniel miraculously begins to speak a mixture
of English and Marshallese at three months as a side effect of his relationship with the
Marshallese trickster god Letao, who is trying to possess his body as part of his plan to
reinstate the reign of the, now largely forgotten, Marshellese pantheon.”

Maori Literary and Activist Texts. Honolulu: University of Hawai’i Press. ISBN: 08223-2929-8 (cloth) and 0-8223-2947-6 (paper). 320 pages.
“This book is a comparative literary and cultural study of post-World War II literary
and activist texts by New Zealand Maori and American Indians, groups who share much
in their responses to European settler colonialism. Chadwick Allen reveals the complex
narrative tactics employed by writers and activists in these societies that enabled them
to realize unprecedented practical power in making both their voices and their own
sense of indigeneity heard. Allen shows how both Maori and Native Americans resisted
the assimilationist tide rising out of World War II and how, in the 1960s and 1970s,
they each experienced a renaissance of political and cultural activism and literary
production that culminated in the formation of the first general assembly of the World
Council of Indigenous Peoples. He focuses his comparison on two fronts: first, the
blood/land/memory complex that refers to these groups‘ struggles to define indigeneity
and to be freed from the definitions of authenticity imposed by dominant settler
cultures. Allen‘s second focus is on the discourse of treaties between American Indians
and the U.S. government and between Maori and Great Britain, which he contends
offers strong legal and moral bases from which these indigenous minorities can argue
land and resource rights as well as cultural and identity politics.”

Auckland, NZ: Auckland University Press. ISBN: 1-86940-269-3 (paperback).
Translated by Merimeri Penfold.
“When she embarked on a research project on tourism in Muriwhenua Dorothy Urlich
Cloher discovered that she could not discuss this topic without going back far into the
past. She describes this book as a ‘story of beginnings, evolution and consolidation,
applied to the people who make up the tribes of Muriwhenua’. It is a history of the Far
North and the iwi Ngati Kuri, Te Aupouri, Ngai Takoto, Te Rarawa and Ngati Kahu.
Taking each of these one by one, she gives whakapapa and a variety of lively and
dramatic stories, all of which have been discussed and agreed with local kaumatua. The
stories have been expertly translated by Merimeri Penfold, widely respected for her
knowledge of te reo and her literary skill.”

“This book reinterprets the major events leading up to and following statehood in 1959:
U.S. annexation of the Hawaiian kingdom, the wartime crisis of the Japanese-American
community, postwar labor organization, the Cold War, the development of Hawai’i’s

account weaves together the threads of multicultural and transnational forces that have
shaped the Islands for more than a century, looking beyond the Hawai’i carefully
packaged for the tourist to the Hawai’i of complex and conflicting identities independent kingdom, overseas colony, U.S. state, indigenous nation - a wonderfully

newspapers, of which some 35 were produced between 1842 and the 1930s by

“Today, the Maori must live in a world that is dominated by European institutions. The
ability to do this successfully depends on their constant vigilance in sustaining their
beliefs, their views of themselves, and their notions of how the world works. Their
membership in Maramatanga permits them to feel selected while they cautiously
traverse a landscape which has lost its familiar outlines. This book is a compliation of
twenty five years of fieldwork with a group of Maori. It is an examination of oral
histories, notebooks of songs, diaries, accounts of pilgrimages, and life histories.
Critical issues are addressed including, written and unwritten histories, colonialism,
gender, and membership in Maramatanga. This book examines in great detail what
scholars of New Zealand have grown to understand, there is no monolithic Maori
voice.”

“The third and major book to emerge from the Pouerua Project, which was a major
archaeological initiative of the 1980s, studying the extensive pa (native village) site on
and around the volcanic cone at Pouerua, Northland, New Zealand. AUP has previously
published two small books from this research, The Archaeology of the Kainga and The
Archaeology of the Peripheral Pa. These are fairly technical studies. This book studies
the pa itself and the innovative attempt to use archaeological techniques to explore and
understand socio-political process. The investigation revealed the pa as a fluid site with
different functions changing over time; not a place of permanent settlement but rather a
visible sign of power and dominance.”

“This publication documents the Cook Islands evangelist Elekana, who was
instrumental in the introduction of Protestant Christianity in Tuvalu. It represents an
adventurous experiment in coming to grips with the role that evangelists played in the
process of conversion and the meanings that they gave to the Word as it filtered from
them to their Pacific Islands listeners. Combining their skills in social anthropology and
archival history, the authors have formatted the story of Elekana to reflect the varied
nature of the materials and their unevenness. They decode a variety of texts - both oral
and written - about Elekana’s life and its meanings and induce the re-birth of Elekana’s
voice through assorted strategies.”

“Since the late 1960s Tongans have been leaving their islands in large numbers and
settling in many different nations. This book is a timely look at their settlement
experiences as they relate to cultural identity, particularly among the younger
generations raised outside Tonga. What does being Tongan mean to these young
people? Why do some proudly proclaim and cherish their Tongan identities while others
remain ambivalent, confused, or indifferent? Using both traditional ethnographic
fieldwork and newly popular Internet discussion forums, where young Tongans speak
their minds and describe their experiences, Lee has produced the most comprehensive
study of Tongan migrants to date. Throughout the book diasporic Tongans speak
eloquent about their lives, and case studies of families and individuals bring the analysis
to life. Lee explores tensions within overseas communities, especially the
intergenerational conflicts that are contributing to the alienation of many young
Tongans today.”

Only fragments remain of the nearly two-thousand-year history of the people who

private archives and libraries, these pieces of Hawai’i’s precontact past were recorded in
the nineteenth century by such determined individuals as David Malo, Samuel
Kamakau, and Abraham Fornander. All known genealogical references to the Kaua’i

and are interspersed with legends of great voyages, bitter wars, courageous heroes, and
passionate romances that together form a rich and invaluable resource.”

The Centre for Pacific and Asian Studies (CPAS) at the University of Nijmegen
was established in September 1991. Developed from the former Centre for
Australian and Oceanic Studies, the CPAS has an interdisciplinary character and
covers Southeast Asia and Oceania, including Australia and New Zealand. The staff
consists of anthropologists, legal anthropologists, development sociologists,
geographers, historians, and linguists at the University of Nijmegen and the Max
Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen.
The Centre aims to advance basic and applied research in the regions mentioned,
offering regular courses and co-ordinating teaching programmes within its fields of
interest, and providing information about these regions. To these ends the Centre
initiates and promotes research by both senior and junior staff, provides a platform
for discussion, exchanges information on ongoing research, and organises regular
workshops, conferences, seminars and exhibitions.
