New
Guinea Ceremonies
by David Gillison
When David Gillison first arrived in New Guinea in 1973, ceremonies
marking birth, death, initiation, and marriage were still being conducted
by the Gimi tribe as they had been for thousands of years. Today, many
of the Gimi's indigenous traditions, like those depicted in Abrams' acclaimed
African Ceremonies, are disappearing forever. Gillison's brilliant photographs
and intimate text capture the remarkable dramas enacted during what was
probably the last-ever Hau, a two-week fertility festival. Ranging from
creation myths to scenarios of affairs, clan jealousies, and family strife,
these playlets, ultimately forbidden by Westerners, are no longer performed.
Gillison movingly preserves them here for history. The only photographic
record we have of the Gimi and their unique theater rituals, the book also
depicts the major effort to save the spectacular rainforest home of the
Gimi, which stands as a world model for indigenous conservation. Amazon.com

The
Art of Kula
by Shirley F. Campbell
Book Description The Trobriand Islands have long been a source
of fascination for explorers, anthropologists and collectors. Nearly a
century ago, it was predicted that Kula, the exchange of shell valuables
by Islanders 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 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 have profound symbolic 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 Kula linked to their desire to achieve social 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 reflect
gender? Providing an alternative way of understanding the significance
of Kula in the Trobriand Islands, The Art of Kula makes an influential
new contribution to the ethnography of Papua New Guinea.
