Australia and Papua New Guinea share a number of important social,
cultural, and historical features, making a sustained comparison
between the two especially productive. This volume is the first
in-depth work to do just that: it situates the ethnography of the
two areas within a comparative framework and examines the
relationship between indigenous systems of knowledge and "place" --
an issue of growing concern to anthropologists. The essays
demonstrate the manner in which regimes of restricted knowledge
serve to protect and augment cultural property and the
proprietorship over sites and territory; how myths evolve to
explain and culturally appropriate important events pertaining to
contact between indigenous and Western societies; how graphic
designs and other culturally important iconic and iconographic
processes provide conduits of cross-cultural appropriation between
indigenous and non-indigenous societies in today's multicultural
nation states.
