This study, a history of the kind of people who are supposed to have one, challenges the fashionable view that so-called primitives live in a timeless present. The conventional wisdom, that such societies are static, is shown by the author to be an artifact of anthropological method. By piecing together extended oral histories and written history records, the author found that headhunting among the Ilongots of Northern Luzon, Philippines, was not an unchanging ancient custom, but a cultural practice that has shifted dramatically over the course of the past century. Headhunting stopped, resumed, and stopped again; its victims at various periods were fellow Ilongots, Japanese soldiers, and lowland Christian Filipinos; it took place as surprise attack, planned vendetta, or distant raid against strangers. Placing headhunting in its social, cultural, and historical contexts requires a novel sense of how to use biography, recorded history, and narrative in the analysis of small-scale, non-literate local communities. This study combines historical and ethnographic method and documents the inherent orchestration of structure, events, time, and consciousness. The book is illustrated with 34 photographs.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Ethnologie / Volkskunde, Note: sehr gut, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (Ethnologie), Veranstaltung: Kopfjagd, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: [...] In dieser Arbeit wird kein endgültiges Modell für die Erklärung von Kopfjagd dargelegt werden: Aber im letzten Teil wird gezeigt, welche notwendigen Betrachtungen Rosaldo in seinen Theorien ausgelassen hat, was erahnen lässt in welche Richtung die Gründe für Kopfjagd gehen. Dazu sollen noch zwei weitere Ethnologen vorgestellt werden, allerdings war die zur gleichen Zeit publizierte Sprachstudie von Michelle Ronaldo „Knowledge and Passion“ nicht verfügbar. Und ebenso wenig kann das jüngste Kopfjagdmodell von Michael Prager zitiert werden; eine schriftliche Festlegung existiert noch nicht. Sein Modell stellte er aber im Wintersemester 2003/2004 in seinem Seminar zum Thema Kopfjagd in Südostasien vor. Einige wenige Ideen von beiden und von einem weiteren Text Rosaldos von 1989 sollen dem Leser nicht vorenthalten bleiben.

Witchcraft holds a perennial fascination for scholars and the public at large. In Southeast Asia malign magic and sorcery are part of the routine experience of villagers and urban dwellers alike, and stories appearing in the press from time to time bear witness to a persisting public concern. The essays presented in this volume describe what people believe and what actions result from those beliefs. Not surprisingly, given the range and variety of cultures, considerable differences exist in the region. Among some cultures, in Thailand and Indonesia for example, sorcerers are said to possess spirits that empower them to cause illness and misfortune. Elsewhere, in Malaysia and Sumatra, the power of the dukun derives from the accumulation of arcane knowledge and mystical practice. Contributors describe the witches and sorcerers they have met and suggest both how their societies look upon them and how we in turn should regard them. Understanding Witchcraft and Sorcery in Southeast Asia will appeal to scholars and students of social anthropology and comparative religion. Its substantial contribution to theoretical and comparative issues in a Southeast Asian context provides a fresh perspective on a stimulating topic.

In this first comprehensive study of American Indians of southern New England from 1500 to 1650, Kathleen J. Bragdon discusses common features and significant differences among the Pawtucket, Massachusett, Nipmuck, Pocumtuck, Narragansett, Pokanoket, Niantic, Mohegan, and Pequot Indians. Her complex portrait, which employs both the perspective of European observers and important new evidence from archaeology and linguistics, shows that internally developed customs and values were primary determinants in the development of Native culture.
