| Zusammenfassung: | "In a series of epic self-narratives ranging from traditional cultural embodiments to picaresque adventures, Christian epiphanies and a host of interactive strategies and techniques for living, Kewa Highlanders (PNG) attempt to shape and control their selves and their relentlessly changing world. This account transcends ethnographic particularity and offers a wide-reaching perspective on the nature of being human. Inverting the analytic logic of her previous work, which sought to uncover what social structures concealed, Josephides focuses instead on the cultural understandings that people make explicit in their actions and speech. Using approaches from philosophy and anthropology, she examines elicitation (how people create their selves and their worlds in the act of making explicit) and mimesis (how anthropologists produce ethnographies), to arrive at an unexpected conclusion: that knowledge of self and other alike derives from self-externalization rather than self-introspection."--BOOK JACKET. |

This account transcends ethnographic particularity and offers a wide-reaching perspective on the nature of being human. Inverting the analytic logic of her previous work, which sought to uncover what social structures concealed, Josephides focuses instead on the cultural understandings that people make explicit in their actions and speech. Using approaches from philosophy and anthropology, she examines elicitation (how people create their selves and their worlds in the act of making explicit) and mimesis (how anthropologists produce ethnographies), to arrive at an unexpected conclusion: that knowledge of self and other alike derives from self-externalization rather than self-introspection."--BOOK JACKET.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Alltag, Brauchtum</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Kewa (Papua New Guinean people)</subfield><subfield code="x">Social life and customs</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Kewa (Papua New Guinean people)</subfield><subfield code="x">Psychology</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Oral tradition</subfield><subfield code="z">Papua New Guinea</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Identity (Psychology)</subfield><subfield code="z">Papua New Guinea</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Kewa</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)1100930477</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Mündliche Überlieferung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4040600-3</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Alltag</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4001307-8</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Papua New Guinea</subfield><subfield code="x">Social life and customs</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Papua-Neuguinea</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4044569-0</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Kewa</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)1100930477</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Papua-Neuguinea</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4044569-0</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Alltag</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4001307-8</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="3"><subfield code="a">Mündliche Überlieferung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4040600-3</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">HBZ Datenaustausch</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=016703292&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="943" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">oai:aleph.bib-bvb.de:BVB01-016703292</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

Ill., Kt. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index "In a series of epic self-narratives ranging from traditional cultural embodiments to picaresque adventures, Christian epiphanies and a host of interactive strategies and techniques for living, Kewa Highlanders (PNG) attempt to shape and control their selves and their relentlessly changing world. This account transcends ethnographic particularity and offers a wide-reaching perspective on the nature of being human. Inverting the analytic logic of her previous work, which sought to uncover what social structures concealed, Josephides focuses instead on the cultural understandings that people make explicit in their actions and speech.
