The most detailed and well-illustrated study of material culture for any northern Athabascan language group to date, Gwich'in Athabascan Implements reproduces pre- and early post-contact tools that are historically important to the Athabaskan people. A long-term collaboration between anthropologist Thomas O'Brien and Athabascan elder David Salmon, this volume provides more than one hundred one-to-one sketches of a wide variety of implements, many of which are no longer commonly found in use.

Indigenous museums and cultural centres have sprung up across the developing world, and particularly in the Southwest Pacific. They derive from a number of motives, ranging from the commercial to the cultural political (and many combine both). A close study of this phenomenon is not only valuable for museological practice but, as has been argued, it may challenge our current bedrock assumptions about the very nature and purpose of the museum. This book looks to the future of museum practice through examining how museums have evolved particularly in the non-western world to incorporate the p

"Arranged Love" deals with cross-cultural differences in understanding romantic love. All over the world we can find ideas of romantic love expressed by arts, poetry or material objects. The present publication attempts to show the varieties of romantic love exemplified by artifacts of Ethnographical collection of the Göttingen University's Institute for Cultural and Social Anthropology. Überall auf der Welt träumen Menschen von der grossen Liebe. Wie sie ihre Gefühle ausleben, ist von Kultur zu Kultur verschieden. Vorstellungen von Liebe und romantische Ideen werden vor allem durch Kunst, Literatur und Musik überliefert. Schönheitsideale und Liebessymbole prägen unsere Wahrnehmung, und auch Gegenständliches beeinfl usst unser Verhalten im Alltag. Anhand von ausgewählten Exponaten aus Asien, Afrika und Ozeanien, die aus der Ethnologischen Sammlung der Universität Göttingen stammen, wird versucht, folgenden Fragen nachzugehen: Wie verhält es sich mit romantischer Liebe in Gesellschaften, in denen die Anbahnung von Beziehungen und schliesslich Ehen arrangiert werden? Wie drückt sich diese Liebe aus? Und welchem Wandel unterliegt sie?.
