Gender in Amazonia and Melanesia. An exploration of the comparative method

Univ of California Pr, 2001. Paperback. Pp: 392. One of the great riddles of cultural history is the remarkable parallel that exists between the peoples of Amazonia and those of Melanesia. Although the two regions are separated by half a world in distance and at least 40,000 years of history, their cultures nonetheless reveal striking similarities in the areas of sex and gender. In both Amazonia and Melanesia, male-female differences infuse social organization and self-conception. They are the core of religion, symbolism, and cosmology, and they permeate ideas about body imagery, procreation, growth, men's cults, and rituals of initiation. The contributors to this innovative volume illuminate the various ways in which sex and gender are elaborated, obsessed over, and internalized, shaping subjective experiences common to entire cultural regions, and beyond. Through comparison of the life ways of Melanesia and Amazonia the authors expand the study of gender, as well as the comparative method in anthropology, in new and rewarding directions.

Social Complexity in the Making: A Case Study Among the Arapesh of New Guinea

London and New York, Routledge. 2001, Reprint, 2004. (ISBN: 0415228999) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xii, 159 pp. illus. maps, biblio. index; 22 cm. Tight, clean copy. "Providing wider perspective of social and cultural evolution within a given society, this highly accessible ethnography explains the history and evolution of Ilahita, an Arapesh-speaking village in New Guinea. This village, unlike others in the region, expanded at an uncharacteristically fast rate more than a century ago and has maintained its large size and importance until the present day. Donald Tuzin, drawing on more than two years of fieldwork in the village, studies the reasons being this unusual population growth. He observes the behavior and politics of the Tambaran, the all-male society which was the back bone of Ilahitan society, and examines the effect of outside influences such as Work War II on the village." - Publisher.

Social complexity in the making. A case study among the Arapesh of New Guinea

Psychology Press, 2001. Paperback. Pp: 159. Social Complexity in the Making is a highly accessible ethnography which explains the history and evolution of Ilahita, an Arapesh-speaking village in the interior Sepik region of northeastern New Guinea. This village, unlike others in the region, expanded at an uncharacteristically fast rate more than a century ago and has maintained its large size (more than 1500) and importance until the present day. The fascinating story of how Ilahita became this size and how organizational innovations evolved there to absorb internal pressures for disintegration, bears on a question debated ever since Plato raised it: what does it take for people to live together in harmony?Anthropologist David Tuzin, drawing on more than two years fieldwork in the village, studies the reasons behind this unusual population growth. He discovers the behaviour and policies of the Tambaran, the all-male society which was the back bone of Ilahitan society, and examines the effect of the outside influences such as World War II on the village.This work is a unique example of an anthropological case study which will be widely used amongst undergraduates and academics. It provides an excellent insight into techniques of ethnography and contributes to a deeper understanding of what makes a society evolve (and/or collapse). ISBN: 9780415228992.
