In 1994, the Pacific island village of Matupit was partially destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This study focuses on the subsequent reconstruction and contests over the morality of exchanges that are generative of new forms of social stratification. Such new dynamics of stratification are central to contemporary processes of globalization in the Pacific, and more widely. Through detailed ethnography of the transactions that a displaced people entered into in seeking to rebuild their lives, this book analyses how people re-make sociality in an era of post-colonial neoliberalism without taking

Les Baruya sont une société tribale de Nouvelle-Guinée, découverte en 1951 seulement, et qui, à cette époque, abandonnait ses outils de pierre pour des haches et des machettes d'acier dont elle ignorait totalement la provenance. En 1975, la Nouvelle-Guinée devint indépendante, et les Baruya se retrouvèrent citoyens d'un Etat membre des Nations unies. Maurice Godelier a effectué chez eux de fréquents et longs séjours à partir de 1967, alors que les principes de l'organisation traditionnelle de leur société étaient encore présents dans toutes les mémoires des Baruya. Il nous livre, dans cet ouvrage classique, une fascinante reconstitution de leur ancien mode de vie ainsi que l'analyse des transformations qui ont suivi l'instauration de l'ordre colonial, l'arrivée du marché et de l'argent, celle des missionnaires et du christianisme. On y voit cette petite société, productrice de Grands Hommes, s'intégrer peu à peu dans le nouvel ordre mondial.

Robert B. Ray examines the ideology of the most enduringly popular cinema in the world--the Hollywood movie. Aided by 364 frame enlargements, he describes the development of that historically overdetermined form, giving close readings of five typical instances: Casablanca, It's a Wonderful Life, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Godfather, and Taxi Driver. Like the heroes of these movies, American filmmaking has avoided commitment, in both plot and technique. Instead of choosing left or right, avant-garde or tradition, American cinema tries to have it both ways.Although Hollywood's commercial success has led the world audience to equate the American cinema with film itself, Hollywood filmmaking is a particular strategy designed to respond to specific historical situations. As an art restricted in theoretical scope but rich in individual variations, the American cinema poses the most interesting question of popular culture: Do dissident forms have any chance of remaining free of a mass medium seeking to co-opt them?
