abstract = {In Euro-American intellectual discourse gambling has become a metaphor for understanding social life, while in public life gambling is the subject of moralizing, medicalization, and gendered conflict over its status as leisure or vice. This introduction explores how one might approach the ways in which Melanesian peoples have comprehended their own worlds through gambling. I invite readers to consider our portrayals of indigenous ideas of ‘what gambling is about’ as alternative theorizations of gambling as a phenomenon. These theories of gambling are based upon cosmological premises that may appear unusual but which nevertheless intersect productively with Euro-American typologies of gambling and gamblers. To propagate this, my introduction first provides a brief history of gambling in Melanesia, and secondly places the special issue with respect to the relevant tropes in the sociology and anthropology of gambling, and the interdisciplinary field of gambling studies. A final section compares intersecting themes across the articles that together provide the basis of a collective intervention into gambling-related fields.},

abstract = {Oceania occupies an intriguing place within anthropology’s genealogy. In the introduction to this collection of essays, we examine the role of the ethnography of Oceania in the development of our anthropological perspectives on materialisation, the dynamic process by which persons and things are inter-related. Building upon the recent resurgence of theoretical interests in things we use the term materialisation (rather than material culture or materiality) to capture the vitality of the lived processes by which ideas of objectivity and subjectivity, persons and things, minds and bodies are entangled. Taking a processual view, we advocate for an Oceanic anthropology that continues to engage with things on the ground; that asks what strategies communities use to materialise their social relations, desires and values; and that recognises how these processes remain important tools for understanding historical and contemporary Oceanic societies. Examining these locally articulated processes and forms contributes to a material (re)turn for anthropology that clarifies how we, as scholars, think about things more widely.},

abstract = {This article shows how the production of kula valuables and, through their circulation, the naming of persons becomes the preeminent form of wealth for the people of Muyuw, Woodlark Island, in the northeast corner of the Kula Ring in Papua New Guinea. The first half of the argument describes the circulation forms of the kula in the context of the last thirty years of exchange theory as it has been reformulated through the reading of Karl Marx. The second half of the article describes the metonymic and metaphoric transformations entailed by persons naming valuables and becoming named through their circulation throughout the regional system that is the kula.},

abstract = {A creative role is suggested for Malinowski's `straw men', and by analogy for the straw man of male bias which informs much feminist-inspired anthropology. However, their universalising seductiveness is taken to task. The idea that particular symbolic representations speak to a `universal womanness' is examined critically in relation to two Melanesian societies. The metaphor of `manufacture' points to certain implications for the relationship between anthropology and its object of study; it also underlines the suggestion that not only does womanness in these two societies have different symbolic content, but there is difference also in the techniques of symbol construction.},

abstract = {As anthropologists are reading Marx, sociologists are beginning to read Levi-Strauss. Based on an analysis of the Kula, this article attempts to place Levi-Strauss's first major work in light of neomarxist thought. It is suggested that 'kinship' for Levi-Strauss occupies a place in some kinds of societies analogous to that of 'capital' in capitalist society according to Marx. But using data from the Kula it is shown that such a perspective ignores the question of how 'production' articulates with 'circulation'. Although certain aspects of the Kula may be comprehended in terms of generalised and restricted exchange, the postulated contradiction in generalised exchange does not account for the Kula's dynamics. 'Ownership', derived from the sphere of production, not 'reciprocity', accounts for the Kula's dynamics.},

abstract = {In nonliterate societies, myths are often linked to specific geographical locations. Using Malinowski's Trobriand material and taking a lead from Cicero's De oratore, it is argued that spatial location functions (1) as a mnemonic device for the recall of a corpus of myth, (2) as a structural marker dividing a corpus into separate thinkable units, and (3) as a means of restricting social change at least temporarily to specific institutions. Malinowski's instrumental theory of myth is contrasted with the cognitive theory advanced by LéviStrauss, and certain didactic functions of myth are also discussed.},

abstract = {The fact that the Trobriand system of rank and chieftainship is unusual in western Melanesia has either been ignored or explained in terms of high population density and agricultural productivity. However, such explanations are unsatisfactory, as neither the population density nor the productivity is exceptional by Melanesian standards. Following Uberoi, this article argues that the key to the Trobriand political system lies in the kula exchanges. Nevertheless, Uberoi has overlooked certain peculiarities of kula in the northern Trobriands. These peculiarities, arising from environmental and social conditions, enabled the exchange system to be closed off to a degree not possible elsewhere in the Massim area. This precluded certain economic and political strategies from being undertaken, thereby limiting the range of people who could effectively compete for leadership and facilitating the development of rank and chieftainship. The article concludes with a brief examination of the applicability of the general argument to other Melanesian societies.},
