Paperback small quarto, very good condition, tables, colour photos, maps, small mark top edge, minor edgewear. 311 pp. This book aims to reconcile what has been termed the root metaphor of Melanesian sociality as based on relational or composite personhood (Strathern 1988) with the strong individualist tendencies and sense of self that are found in everyday life in Lihir. The author argues that the strong focus on the semantics of emotion in anthropology has been at the expense of the embodied practice of emotion that was apparent in Lihir. This is a fascinating ethnographic account of connections, conflicts and loss in Lihir, and of the author's own fieldwork journey and experiences.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book explores what it means to be Lihirian through an analysis of everyday life in the Lihir Islands, Papua New Guinea. Living in a world that has rapidly changed in the last century through the work of Christian missions, government administration and the development of a large gold mine, Lihirians nevertheless retain a strong sense of themselves and their islands as distinctive.This book aims to reconcile what has been termed the 'root metaphor' of Melanesian sociality as based on relational or composite personhood with the strong individualist tendencies and sense of self that are found in everyday practice in Lihir. The symbolism of Melanesian sociality does not encompass the practical reality of what it means to be Lihirian. This book considers emotion, which is a ubiquitous part of life in Lihir, and argues that the strong focus on the semantics of emotion in anthropology has been at the expense of the embodied practice of emotion that was apparent in Lihir.Through this engaging ethnographic account of connections, conflicts and loss in Lihir, Hemer's own fieldwork journey of making relationships, experiencing disputes and finally leaving the field is mirrored. Hemer highlights and interrogates emotions for their relationship to psychological understandings and definitions, and understands emotions in a historical context and as connected to social changes wrought by interactions with global phenomena.…
