Göttinger Studien zur Ethnologie hrsg. vom Institut für Ethnologie der Universität Göttingen Redaktion: Prof. Dr. Ulrich Braukämper und Prof. Dr. Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin LIT Verlag Hans Reithofer The Python Spirit and the Cross Becoming Christian in a Highland Community of Papua New Guinea This study explores the processes of Christianization among the Somaip, a linguistically divided but ritually united group of clans in the western Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Based on ethnographic fieldwork from 1998 to 2000, it focuses on three major issues: (a) conversion motives, (b) the dynamics of ’indigenizing’ Christianity, and (c) the negotiation of a new (Christian) identity. The analysis proceeds from an extensive reconstruction of pre-Christian concepts and ritual practices which are also situated in a wider regional context. It is only against this richly painted background of the ancestral religion that one can appreciate the distinctive vigour of current Somaip Christianity as it has been shaped by the creative blending of two religious traditions and the tensions and resonances perceived between them.

Die Erzähler und Mythologen des Mittelsepikgebietes fassten ihre Vergangenheit in drei unterschiedliche Ordnungen: eine subclanbezogene Geschichte der Wanderungen, eine siedlungsgruppenbezogene Vergangenheitstheorie der sozialen Ordnung und eine Metageschichte grundsätzlicher kreativer Dichotomien zwischen Leben im Busch und Leben am Fluss, zwischen den Erzfeinden Palimbei und Nyaurangei und zwischen Mutterund Tochtersiedlungen.

Burials, Texts and Rituals Ethnoarchaeological Investigations in North Bali, Indonesia The villages on Bali’s north-east coast have a long history. Archaeological finds have shown that the coastal settlements of Tejakula District enjoyed trading relations with India as long as 2000 years ago or more. Royal decrees dating from the 10 th to the 12 th century, inscribed on copper tablets and still preserved in the local villages as part of their religious heritage, bear witness to the fact that, over a period of over 1000 years, these played a major role as harbour and trading centres in the transmaritime trade between India and (probably) the Spice Islands. At the same time the inscriptions attest to the complexity in those days of Balinese society, with a hierarchical social organisation headed by a king who resided in the interior – precisely where, nobody knows. The interior was connected to the prosperous coastal settlements through a network of trade and ritual. The questions that faced the German-Balinese research team were first: Was there anything left over of this evidently glorious past? And second: Would our professional anthropological and archaeological research work be able to throw any more light on the vibrant past of these villages? This book is an attempt to answer both these and further questions on Bali’s coastal settlements, their history and culture. Bd. 1, 2008, 310 S., 38 €, ISBN 978-3-940344-12-0 http:// webdoc.sub.gwdg.de/univerlag/ 2008/GBE1_bali_book.pdf
How are biological diversity, protected areas, indigenous knowledge and religious worldviews related? From an anthropological perspective, this book provides an introduction into the complex subject of conservation policies that cannot be addressed without recognising the encompassing relationship between discursive, political, economic, social and ecological facets. By facing these interdependencies across global, national and local dynamics, it draws on an ethnographic case study among Maya-Q'eqchi' communities living in the margins of protected areas in Guatemala. In documenting the cultural aspects of landscape, the study explores the coherence of diverse expressions of indigenous knowledge. It intends to remind of cultural values and beliefs closely tied to subsistence activities and ritual practices that define local perceptions of the natural environment. The basic idea is to illustrate that there are different ways of knowing and reasoning, seeing and endowing the world with meaning, which include visible material and invisible interpretative understandings. These tend to be underestimated issues in international debates and may provide an alternative approach upon which conservation initiatives responsive to the needs of the humans involved should be based on.
