Photographing Papua is a study of photography in the public domain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It argues that southeastern New Guinea, known as British New Guinea and then as Papua when it became an Australian colony, was created as a geographical place through visual representation in illustrated magazines and newspapers, lavishly illustrated travelogues and mission hagiography, serial encyclopedia, lantern slides and postcards. Readers :knew"" Papua because many tho...

En quoi les savoir-faire écologiques des Kasua de Nouvelle-Guinée seraient-ils plus à même de préserver la présence humaine et l'extraordinaire biodiversité tropicale, aussi complexe que fragile ? Pour résoudre cette énigme, Florence Brunois nous entraîne au cœur de ce monde forestier où cohabitent plus d'un millier d'êtres vivants et d'êtres spirituels avec lesquels les Kasua entrent quotidiennement en interaction au cours de leurs multiples activités forestières. C'est à partir d'une description systématique des relations que cette population expérimente avec l'ensemble des êtres forestiers, sur les plans de l'écologie, des techniques, de l'imaginaire, du mythe, du rituel, du rêve, et finalement des émotions, que l'auteur dresse une analyse critique de l'immense somme de connaissances naturalistes, éthologiques et écologiques mises en pratique par cette société forestière. Ce faisant, elle propose une nouvelle manière d'appréhender les autres en révélant un savoir-être « avec » la pluralité des existants qui reconnaît que la régénération de la vie sociale est absolument interdépendante de la régénération de la vie sous toutes ses formes et des relations qui les unissent. Par cet ouvrage, Florence Brunois réintroduit l'ethnologie de la Nouvelle-Guinée au centre des débats qui animent l'anthropologie de la nature et nos propres sociétés quant aux manières de penser la place de l'homme dans l'environnement.

The Southern Highlands is one of Papua New Guinea’s most resource-rich provinces, but for a number of years the province has been riven by conflict. Longstanding inter-group rivalries, briefly set aside during the colonial period, have been compounded by competition for the benefits provided by the modern state and by fighting over the distribution of returns from the several big mining and petroleum projects located within the province or impinging upon it. Deaths from the various conflicts over the past decade number in the hundreds. As a result of inter-group fighting, criminal activity and vandalism, a number of businesses have withdrawn from the province. Roadblocks and ambushes have made travel dangerous in many parts and expatriate missionaries and aid workers have left. Many public servants have abandoned their posts with the result that state services are not provided. Corruption is rife. Police are often reluctant to act because they are outnumbered and outgunned. This volume brings together a number of authors with deep experience of the Southern Highlands to examine the underlying dynamics of resource development and conflict in the province. Its primary purpose is to provide some background to recent events, but the authors also explore possible approaches to limiting the human and economic costs of the ongoing conflict and breakdown of governance.

This paper examines and tests the existence of political budget cycles in Papua New Guinea during the period 1988–2004. Several factors point to the existence of political budget cycles in Papua New Guinea. The paper provides an overview of the political business cycle literature, and Papua New Guinea’s political structure and processes. It also describes the data set and the empirical methods used to test for the presence of election-influenced spending, and presents the results of a time-series analysis.

Biology Unmoored is an engaging examination of what it means to live in a world that is not structured in terms of biological thinking. Drawing upon three years of ethnographic research in the highlands of Papua New Guinea, Sandra Bamford describes a world in which physiological reproduction is not perceived to ground human kinship or human beings' relationship to the organic world. Bamford also exposes the ways in which Western ideas about relatedness do depend on a notion of physiological reproduction. Her innovative analysis includes a discussion of the advent of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), the mapping of the human genome, cloning, the commodification of biodiversity, and the manufacture and sale of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
