Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bird's Head Peninsula of Irian Jaya has long been an area neglected by New Guinea Studies. Only in the late seventies, interest began to focus more intensively on this scientifically important border area between Austronesian and Papuan languages and cultures. In the early nineties, this led to the creation in The Netherlands of the Irian Jaya Studies programme ISIR, which organizes and coordinates multi-disciplinary research on the Bird's Head Peninsula. Within this framework, study of the peninsula has reached a peak, with research being conducted in the area by scientists from different disciplines: anthropology, archaeology, (ethno)botany, demography, development administration, geology and linguistics. The diverse perspectives of these disciplines are subject to constant internal debate. Through ISIR and other research initiatives, there is a growing body of data on and insights into the various disciplines concerned with this fascinating area, with each discipline developing its own specific perspectives on the Bird's Head. These perspectives were presented during the First International Conference Perspectives on the Bird's Head of Irian Jaya, Indonesia, organized by ISIR in cooperation with the Indonesian Institute of Sciences LIPI (Jakarta) and the International Institute for Asian Studies ILAS (Leiden) and held at Leiden University, 13-17 October 1997. Researchers were informed on current perspectives in many disciplines to facilitate integration of findings into wider, interdisciplinary frameworks and to stimulate international debate within and between disciplines. As a result of the Conference, the forty-two contributions in these Proceedings present a wealth of recent developments from various disciplines in New Guinea Studies.

Download or read book The Korowai of Irian Jaya written by Gerrit J. van Enk and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first study of the language and culture of the Korowai, a Papuan community of treehouse dwellers in the rainforest of southern Irian Jaya, Indonesia. The Korowai are a people who have historically been completely isolated from the world around them and have only recently come into contact with outsiders. The authors, who gained access to the tribe in their roles as Christian missionaries, examine the Korowai language and culture in a systematic and integrated way. They sketch the physical, cultural, historical, and linguistic backgrounds of the Korowai community. Also, they fully explicate the language, presenting in fine detail its phonology, morphology, syntax, and kinship terminology--as well as reproducing oral texts that show patterns of grammar, discourse, and culture. This text will be of value to both linguists and anthropologists, not only because it deals with a neglected and threatened society, but also because it does so by viewing (and documenting) the language and culture of that society in a methodical and holistic manner.

Book excerpt: The author studied the culture, particularly social life, of a tribal society of the Kabar plain in the inland area of the Kepala Burung (Vogelkop) in Irian Jaya. The focus was on constants, variants, and changes in the field of kinship and religion. Ch. 1 gives a historical survey of the Kabar plain. Ch. 2 pays attention to environment and demographic data. To determine the influences of processes of state formation in the East Indonesian archipelago on theKebar, chapters 3 and 4 look at the intra- and intertribal (kinship) relations, including changes occurring in them, and the Kebar man- and worldview. Ch. 5 discusses the connection between social historical and ecological influences on the culture of the Kebar, in particular in the fields of kinship and religion.
