Fluid Ontologies: Myth, Ritual, and Philosophy in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea
C. Ballard
The authors argue that these societies' worldviews assume that the process of flow between events, rather than the nature of the events, is critical to a model of human sociality. Boundaries, whether of a ritual, physical, or social nature, are perceived as constantly broken by the exchange of ideas across time, space, and peoples.
