Abstract

Revenge is an important motivation in human affairs relating to conflict and violence, and it is a notable feature in many societies within Oceania, where revenge is traditionally a sacred duty to the dead whose spirits demand it. Revenge instantiates a norm of reciprocity in the cosmos, ensuring a balance between violent and peaceful sequences of ritual action. Revenge further remains an important hidden factor in processes of violence beyond Oceania, revealing deep human propensities for retaliatory acts and the tendency to elevate these into principles of legitimacy. Sacred revenge may also be transcended through practices of wealth exchange.

Abstract

Oceania is a fully refereed, A-rated journal of social and cultural anthropology. Its regional orientation is to peoples of Australia, the island Pacific and insular southeast Asia. It is centrally concerned with original studies based on sustained ethnographic research, but review articles and theoretical papers which integrate and interpret anthropological knowledge about its central concern are welcome. Correspondence, shorter reports and book reviews are also published. Themed issues appear irregularly. Published since 1931, the journal now appears three times a year in both print and online format. Its academic editor is assisted by a distinguished international editorial board.
