Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Gabriel Seligman (1873-1940) was a British ethnographer who conducted field research in New Guinea, Sarawak, Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), and Sudan. Trained as a medical doctor, in 1898 he joined an expedition organized by Cambridge University to the Torres Strait, the body of water that separates the island of New Guinea from Australia. The purpose of the expedition was to document the cultures of the Torres Strait islanders, which were rapidly disappearing under the influence of colonization. In 1904, Seligman was one of three members of the Cooke Daniels Ethnographic Expedition to British New Guinea, funded by Denver, Colorado department store owner William Cooke Daniels. The Melanesians of British New Guinea contains a detailed record of much of Seligman's anthropological research conducted during the expedition. Seligman's findings demonstrated the striking physical and cultural differences between the western Papuans and his main preoccupation, their eastern neighbors, who had been more influenced by Melanesian immigration. The book established Seligman's reputation as an anthropologist, and remains an important source for the study of the traditional culture of the peoples of present-day Papua New Guinea. The book includes photographs, drawings, maps, and a glossary of indigenous terms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Decorative Art of British New Guinea: A Study in Papuan Ethnography The physiology of the highest animals is being elucidated largely by investigations upon the physiology of lower forms, and that of the latter in their turn by a knowledge of the activities of the lowest organisms It is among these that the phenomena of life are displayed in their least complex manifestations, and they, so to speak, give the key to a right apprehension of the others.

Book excerpt: Because Papua and New Guinea were administered by Germany, Britain, and Australia at different points in their history, the experiences of the islands' indigenous inhabitants were diverse and sometimes contradictory. In Colonial New Guinea provides an anthropological view of colonialism and its culture in Papua New Guinea. The rich and nuanced set of testimonies and reflections upon which the contributors draw enable a broad range of historical personae to comment on the reality of colonial life. What emerges is a detailed ethnography that offers new perspectives not only on the history of Papua New Guinea but also on colonialism in general. Book jacket.

Download or read book Ethnographic Presents written by Terence E. Hays and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992-09-24 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life on the frontier suggests excitement, danger, and heroism, not to mention backbreaking labor. All these aspects of exploring the unknown enliven Ethnographic Presents, where the frontier is the Highlands region of what is now Papua New Guinea - a part of the world largely unseen by Westerners as late as 1950. In the next five years a dozen or so pioneering anthropologists followed closely on the heels of "first contact" patrols. Their innovative fieldwork is well documented, and now, in an autobiographical collection that is intimate and richly detailed, we learn what these ethnographers experienced: what being on the frontier was like for them. The anthropologists featured in these seven new essays are Catherine H. Berndt, Ronald M. Berndt, Reo Fortune (by Ann McLean), Robert M. Glasse, Marie Reay, D'Arcy Ryan, and James B. Watson. Their pioneering ethnographic adventures are put in historical context by Terence Hays, and a concluding essay by Andrew Strathern points out that this early work among the peoples of the Central Highlands not only influenced all subsequent understanding of Highland cultures but also had a profound impact on the field of anthropology.
