Women as Unseen Characters: Male Ritual in Papua New Guinea - Social Anthropology in Oceania
Pascale Bonnemere
Rituals have always been a focus of ethnographies of Melanesia, providing a ground for important theorizing in anthropology. This book examines the role of females in Papua New Guinea male rituals. It builds on ethnographies that show how female kin had roles in male rituals that had previously gone unseen.
