Melanesian Tribes Vs. Polynesian Chiefdoms Recent Archaeological Assessment Of A
Asian Perspectives 41(2). The late prehistoric period is crucial to the study of anthropology, as the Island Melanesia has provided the world with the Big Man archtype of society. It has led to an ethnographic oversimplification of Melanesia as having only Big Man societies, whereas Polynesia having chiefly societies. Chiefs in Melanesia have often been interpreted as a cultural borrowing under Polynesian influence.

Welcome To The Homepage Of Cultural Dynamics
Interdisciplinary journal with work from cultural and social anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, communication studies and any other areas that shed light on sociocultural phenomena. Quarterly, peer-reviewed. Tables of contents and abstracts available on-line.
http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/anthropology/CulturalDynamics/

Extractions: The world which gave birth to human sciences has changed, in ways that the human sciences have long ceased to comprehend. The contours of objects (nation-states, cultures, religions, histories, identities, the institutions of politics) are shifting, and the ways we go about imagining and thinking about those objects are also in turmoil: the several international theoretical and political movements such as marxism, feminism, Pan-Islam, Pan-Africanism, Non-Alignment, Pan Indianism or Pan-Americanism have been both causes and expressions of this turmoil. Yet, the contact between and through cultures, histories, religions and forms of secularity is immensely fertile ground, and one with which Cultural Dynamics seeks to both document and engage. What new concepts or forms of theory are necessary, then, for thinking culture in the 21st century? What are the distinct theoretical positions and possibilities that emerge from thinking through and across cultures, past and present? Cultural Dynamics proposes to provide a forum for reconceptualizing the human sciences by understanding how culture emerges as a site of theoretical debate and political contestation, and by tracking the ways in which theory works cross-cultures.
