This book marks the culmination of Giancarlo M.G. Scoditti's
renowned series of publications on the cultural production of the
northern Massim island of Kitawa, Papua New Guinea. It explores how
the Nowau 'creators of images' conceive of the way their artistic
compositions come about - sketching Kitawan cognitive philosophy
and aesthetic practice. Describing how for them images grow like
the loops of the Nautilus shell - one of nature's prominant
demonstrations of the logarithmic spiral and the golden section -
Scoditti's analysis of Kitawan cognitive and artistic principles
resonates with Levi-Strauss's work on myth and Kant's notion of the
mental schema, and makes a ground-breaking contribution to our
understanding of the 'oral mind'.
