This volume examines the way objects and images relate to and shape
notions of temporality and history. Bringing together ethnographic
studies from the Lowlands of Central and South America and
Melanesia, it explores the temporality inhering in images and
artefacts from a comparative perspective. The chapters focus on how
peoples in both regions 'live in' and 'navigate' time each through
their distinctive systems of images and the processes and actions
by which these come to be manifest in objects. With original
theoretical and ethnographic contributions, the book is valuable
reading for scholars interested in visual and material culture and
in anthropological approaches to time.
