Making Waves: The Role of Indigenous Water Beings in Debates about Human and Non-Human Rights Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2024-01-16 Veronica Strang
Rejecting nature-culture dualism, contemporary anthropology recognises the mutually constitutive processes that create shared human and non-human lifeworlds. Such recognition owes much to ethnographic engagement with diverse indigenous cosmologies many of which have, for millennia, upheld ideas about indivisible worlds in which all living kinds occupy a shared ontological space and non-human species

Water as Country on the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, South Australia Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2024-01-16 Diana Young
Anangu, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara people living in the north-western areas of South Australia, conceptualize changes in the surface of land as evincing the presence of Ancestral power. Rain is one such catalyst of change, though it is by no means a certainty on the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. When it does appear, water does not stay long on the surface: it is shimmering and unstable

Ontological Collisions in the Northern Territory's Aboriginal Water Rights Policy Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2024-01-16 Sue Jackson, Erin O'Donnell, Lee Godden, Marcia Langton
Amid a renewed push to extract water for agriculture and mining, Indigenous advocacy in northern Australia has resulted in the introduction of a new water allocation mechanism: a reserve of water to be retained for the use and benefit of Indigenous communities. Our socio-legal analysis of the Oolloo Water Allocation Plan shows that the Strategic Aboriginal Water Reserves carry essential hallmarks of

Sustainable Water in Mining? The Importance of Traditional Owner Involvement in Commercial Water Use and Management in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2024-01-16 Emma Garlett, Sarah Holcombe
The mining industry is a significant water user, an issue that gains a particular prominence in arid zone mining regions, such as the Pilbara region in Western Australia (WA). Mining companies extract vast amounts of water from the groundwater aquifers to access orebodies and to dewater the mine pits. Much of this water is dumped in creeks, injected back into the aquifer downstream or used in mining

Kes (Passageway): Cross-Cultural Considerations of Island Field Containment in the Torres Strait Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2024-01-16 Kirsty Wissing, Torres Webb
Synthetic biology (synbio) scientists have identified islands as potential environments in which to trial the release of approved gene drives in the future for conservation and biosecurity purposes. However, islands, and their interconnected waterscapes, can connect as much as they contain. The Torres Strait Islands stretch between mainland Australia, of which they are a part, and Papua New Guinea

Water's Ethical Time: The Art of Deindustrialising Human-Water Relationships Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2023-12-03 Ute Eickelkamp
I explore by way of a thought experiment the temporality of waterways in the context of restorative art interventions. As a substance that moves and gives form, and as a medium that retains and discharges, connects and divides, water that flows can make tangible the experiential flow of return and anticipation. Arguably, this bi-directional structuring of time is pivotal to transformative and reparative

‘Why can't we speak up for ourselves…?’ Water Futures and Ethnographic Provocations Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2023-11-27 Anne (Wagaba) Poelina, Sandy Toussaint, Stephen Muecke
Via a three-person dialogue, we engage with an inquiry posed for this special issue: ‘What questions are ethnographers asking about water in Australia?’ Canvassing such an inquiry led us to being both provoked and provocateurs, in part by following Luci Pangrazio's (2016) discussion about the value of provocation in the social sciences. Turning from provocation as heuristic tool, we then focus on the

Misty Bodies of Water and Artistic Relationality in the Hydrocene Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2023-11-27 Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris
The Hydrocene is the watery, disruptive, conceptual epoch that I name for the tide of art going into the blue in response to the climate crisis. In this short watery provocation and essay, I share the potential significance of ‘misting’ as a hydro-artistic method of reorientation from within fog, where fog becomes a portal towards embodied encounters in art practices. I look to the extensive fog-based

Coercive Exchange: Magic, Agency and the Gift in a Melanesian Society Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2023-07-25 Richard Eves
Here I offer a challenge to some of the theoretical truisms that have developed concerning gift exchange, which has been a topic of scholarly debate for almost a century. Much discussion has focussed on how giving creates obligations and increases the power of the giver. Taking the case of the Lelet of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, I examine how people use magic to usurp the agency of the giver, thus

Achievement, Ascription, and Mana: A Step beyond Binary Opposition in Studying Leadership in Oceania Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2023-07-25 Francois-Xavier Faucounau
This paper critiques the recent use of Marshall Sahlins' model, which opposes big men to chiefs to establish a contrast between Austronesian and Non-Austronesian communities in Oceania. By reviewing Sahlins' model and drawing upon Oceania-wide ethnographic work, I argue that the two opposed paradigms underlying Sahlins' model of leadership, namely achievement and ascription, are in fact entangled in

The Larrakia terminology is a member of the very small class of asymmetric terminologies in Australia, but it is the most poorly described. There are a number of documentary sources, and this paper considers principled bases for the comparative evaluation of sources in order to produce a well-founded description which can contribute to theories of kinship both in Australia and more generally.

Stalked by the Malignant Father's Spirit: A Case of Patricide among the Yagwoia (PNG) Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2023-07-25 Jadran Mimica
Among the Yagwoia (PNG), the dynamics of fatherhood is a process of man's transmission to and incorporation of his vital substance by his progeny. In this way, the father becomes replaced principally by his son(s). This process, referred to as the incorporation and replacement of the father's ‘bone’, has multiple actualisations whose concrete reality and significance can only be adequately understood

Jadran Mimica presents the ‘life-world’ of Yagwoia people of Papua New Guinea as a unique variant of the Jungian Ouroboric archetype, a primal pattern or symbol derived from the ancient Greek ‘tail devourer’ (the serpent that eats its own tail), found in many cultures and individual unconscious phantasies. Treated in terms of ‘ouroboric dialectics’, relations between Yagwoia father and son are hostile

Intra-Action in a Central Australian Community Development Project Oceania (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2022-06-26 Drew Anderson
Service providers commonly understand development projects in Indigenous Australia to play out at the intersection of a pre-existing binary between Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups. It follows that effective development practice is seen to depend on building partnerships across the ‘intercultural’ divide. Instead of taking this assumption as a baseline from which analysis proceeds, I draw on Karen
