{"product_id":"saltwater-sociality-katharina-schneider-9780857453013","title":"Saltwater Sociality: A Melanesian Island Ethnography","description":"\u003cp\u003e The inhabitants of Pororan Island, a small group of 'saltwater people' in Papua New Guinea, are intensely interested in the movements of persons across the island and across the sea, both in their everyday lives as fishing people and on ritual occasions. From their observations of human movements, they take their cues about the current state of social relations. Based on detailed ethnography, this study engages current Melanesian anthropological theory and argues that movements are the Pororans' predominant mode of objectifying relations. Movements on Pororan Island are to its inhabitants what roads are to 'mainlanders' on the nearby larger island, and what material objects and images are to others elsewhere in Melanesia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katharina Schneider\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0857453017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857453013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 46","brand":"Katharina Schneider","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48153129910527,"sku":"9780857453013","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c15ff72-4941-4c08-9b57-ec4bb0f5f67c.jpg?v=1770781486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saltwater-sociality-katharina-schneider-9780857453013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
