This collection of essays, edited by leading scholars in the field,
focuses on how expressive genres such as music, dance and poetry
are of enduring significance to social organization. Research from
New Guinea, Indonesia and Taiwan is used to assess how historical
changes modify these forms of expression to adjust to the social
and political needs of the moment. The volume is unique in
exploring the significance of expressive genres for the social
processes of coping with and adjusting to change, either from
outside forces or from internal ones. The contributions detail
first-hand fieldwork, often conducted over a period of many years,
and with each contributor bringing their experience to bear on both
the aesthetic and the analytical aspects of their materials.
Comparative in scope, the volume covers Austronesian and
non-Austronesian speakers in the wider Indo-Pacific region.
