In anthropology, theoretical approaches attempting to come to terms
with experiences of social interaction, often inspired by
phenomenology, have come to the fore in opposition to the
previously favored emphasis on symbolic and social structures.
These essays attempt a new kind of ethnographic description of
social life that treats structure and practice as aspects of the
same reality. This is achieved through attention to indigenous
conceptualizations of the way society itself is generated.
With Jonathan Friedman and Fredrik Barth providing overviews,
this series of innovative ethnographies highlights ways of forming
social relations specific to Oceania as a cultural area,
exemplifying a new kind of comparative approach and making a major
contribution to general social theory.
