To Remember The Faces Of The Dead: The Plentitude Of Memory In Southwestern New Britain: New Directions in Anthropological Writing
Autor Thomas Maschioen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 1994
As he challenges classical semiological accounts of cultural representation in this ethnography of Melanesian religious phenomenology, Thomas Maschio shows that ritual and poetic performance are about the enactment, expression, and invention of the self.
Maschio demonstrates how such emotions as nostalgia, anger, sadness, and grief are creatively transformed during the course of religious performance and expression into a form of cultural memory—one that juxtaposes a pattern of cultural meaning with the emotional feeling of plenitude the Melanesian Rauto call makai. Evoked during initiation, mourning, and agricultural rites, and figuring prominently in Rauto discourse about the self, makai joins personal memory to patterned sets of images and meanings that Westerners would call culture.

Recenzii
"Maschio uses the concepts and language of the Rauto people themselves to 'unpack' what might otherwise be considered a human anomaly–a minimalist culture, a people who live a rich emotional life but share the most stringent reservations against its figurative expression." —Roy Wagner, University of Virginia
"A first-rate ethnography of a little-studied area. Maschio reaches back to the ethnographic writings of French Melanesianist Maurice Leenhardt to ground his account of the emotive/expressive self in religious phenomenology. This complex reading of ritual and expressive culture connects with a growing number of contemporary ethnographies that put poetic utterances at the center of cultural articulations of self and society."—James Clifford, series editor
