The practice of affiliating the female child with the mother and
the male child with the father was considered a rare and
inexplicable practice in Papua New Guinean ethnography at the time
the original data was collected some forty years ago. Marta
Rohatynskyj undertakes a shift in her analytical concepts of
kinship studies to reveal the deep-seated disjuncture between
female and male that this practice represents. The author argues
that this practice is associated with a totemic/animistic ontology
and has currency in a particular type of Melanesian society.
