Abstract:

Relationships among the Aesthetic, culture, and music are problematic- Frequently considered as epiphenomenal to culture, music and the arts are typically seen as adjuncts to ceremonial activity- This dissertation examines the nature of the Aesthetic, music and performance in the context of the Lolo, Araigilpua Village, West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea, in an attempt to develop a definition of the Aesthetic applicable for cross-cultural research and to discover the ways in which the Aesthetic and culture articulate. For the purposes of this dissertation, the Aesthetic is defined as

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the ways in which a Papua New Guinean people, the Maisin of Collingwood Bay in Oro Province, have over the years responded to and appropriated a version of Christianity brought to them by Anglican missionaries. The Maisin treat Christianity not as a foreign imposition, but as an integral part of their total religious conceptions, activities and experiences. Almost a century of documented Maisin history reveals a consistency related to what is here called a "social ideology": a complex formed by idioms of asymmetry between senior and junior kin and allies, equivalenc

Abstract:

This thesis explores images and expressions of masculinity among the Gogodala of Western Province, Papua New Guinea. I propose that, in contrast to anthropological studies that emphasise how men in PNG were rendered powerless and suffered bodily detumescence in response to colonial authority, Gogodala men experienced colonialism as part of a complex process of mimesis, of mutual appropriation and empowerment for both Europeans and the Gogodala. Gogodala masculinity is based on the display of internal strength through external appearance and action, or performance, and it is particularly

Abstract:

Among the Baliem valley Dani of the central highlands of Irian Jaya, Indonesia, infants play a prominent role in social relations. Infant mortality rates among the Dani are above two hundred and fifty deaths per thousand live births and birth rates are low. To these patterns of infant survival and growth the Dani consistently ascribe complex meaning. Drawing from anthropological research conducted in 1994--1995 in the Baliem valley, this dissertation demonstrates that indigenous meanings about the infant body and assessments of infant health link the infant to political relations within polygy

The music and dance practices of the region are examined in the context of the wider social and cultural setting.

Abstract:

Development literature has not accorded sufficient attention to culture as a positive aspect of development until recently. Hence, in terms of using culture as a protective mechanism against gender-based violence, not much has been investigated or reported, since most studies on gender-based violence have focused more on cultural influences as the cause or effect of violence against women. However, in the case of Papua New Guinea (PNG) culture has always been the focus in regards to genderbased violence, portrayed as the cause of violence against women.

Abstract:

This thesis draws upon existing bodies of work on 'culture change', 'exchange' and 'person' in Melanesia but brings them together in a new way. In the anthropological debate, culture change has often been discussed in relation to understandings of 'development' involving the reproduction and transformation of cultural categories according to an indigenous understanding of exchange and agency. My research suggests that culture change as it is taking place in Bena, Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea, can best be understood when the model of agentive culture change, first proposed by Sa

This study examines the interaction between the politics of a Papua New Guinea Highlands society, the Simbu, and the colonially introduced state.

In order to analyse this interaction, it seeks to answer the basic questions about politics - how people gain power and become politicians, how they maintain power once they have it, and whether the answers to these questions have differed in these time periods.

Before the arrival of Europeans on the Gazelle Peninsula, the Tolai acquired these shells from distant places and manufactured them into tabu. The shells were strung onto strips of rattan. These strips were joined into strings and then packed into coils or baskets. The express purpose of tabu in the coils or baskets was ritual exchanges. At some ceremonies, this
