Description

Explore the mysterious world of Pacific culture with Malanggan: Art, Memory and Sacrifice. Shortlisted for the Katharine Briggs Folklore Award 2003, this work examines the treasured death figures of New Ireland. These figures serve as symbolic representations of the deceased, designed to decompose over time. The book offers a unique perspective by interpreting these visually complex agents of resemblance through a cognitive lens rather than a linguistic one. This text provides deep insight into the skins and images used in funeral rituals, making it a significant study for those interested in ethnographic history and Pacific art.
