The Power of Perspective: Social Ontology and Agency on Ambrym Island, Vanuatu
Knut Mikjel Rio
Focusing on different forms of agency in North Ambrym social life, the author demonstrates the potency of outsiders at different times and in different situations in Ambrym society. This model challenges the premises of much Western thinking about reciprocity, and suggests new directions in the analysis of Melanesian societies.
