Description:
One of the 'new ethnographies' addressing the limits of ethnographic representation and the fragmented nature of knowledge from an indigenous perspective, her finely wrought study explores the dynamics of cultural practices in which deconstruction is integral to construction, allowing a new perspective on the ephemeral nature of sociality in Melanesia and new insight into the efficacy of cultural images more generally.
