The discipline's future mythic hero, Bronislaw Malinowski, embraced Rivers's model. For both men, proper fieldwork meant using the researcher's body as an instrument and entailed understanding both the anthropologist's body and the research subject's body as energy systems; this symmetry facilitated a relativist perspective. Participant observation remains central to sociocultural anthropology, but the discipline's pedagogic habits contributed to loss of memory of its energetic conceptualization.Closehttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/658655doi:10.1086/658655CloseMiscellaneous Beran, HarryDo kula canoes of the Massim region of Papua New Guinea have a bow, a stern, and prowboards? 2011.Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: kula, material culture, New Guinea@misc{beran_kula_2011, title = {Do kula canoes of the Massim region of Papua New Guinea have a bow, a stern, and prowboards?}, author = {Harry Beran}, url = {http://www.materialworldblog.com/2011/03/do-kula-canoes-of-the-massim-region-of-papua-new-guinea-have-a-bow-a-stern-and-prowboards/}, year = {2011}, date = {2011-01-01}, urldate = {2017-09-05}, journal = {Material World}, abstract = {Harry Beran, independent researcher hberan@btinternet.com Two types of outrigger canoes are used in the kula.

This volume investigates Pacific collections held in Australian museums, art galleries and archives, and the diverse group of 19th and 20th century collectors responsible for their acquisition. The nineteen essays reveal varied personal and institutional motivations that eventually led to the conservation, preservation and exhibition in Australia of a remarkable archive of Pacific Island material objects, art and crafts, photographs and documents. Hunting the Collectors benchmarks the importa... 414 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Ethnological museums and collections -- Australia -- Congresses.
