Jane's Oceania Home Page
Comprehensive information on the Pacific Islands of Oceania. Includes culture, ethnology, mythology, history, genealogy, customs, rituals, lifestyle, geography, travel, accommodation, extensive photo galleries, postcard images and Pacific Islands Radio.
http://www.janeresture.com/

Extractions: An Islander is a person of the ocean who always has one foot in the water and the other on the land. The sea is like a tonic without which the Islanders cannot live happily - the sea is their life. The sea gives them their food and their tools are their canoes. Like their forefathers of old, the present day fishermen are skilled navigators and canoe builders who are addicted to the sea. They understand the moods of the sea; they are familiar with the stars and the sun, and they breathe inspiration from the prevailing trade winds. They are adventurous people who, like the seabirds, have the instinct to migrate in their blood. Their houses are a reflection of the pandanus and coconut trees from which they are constructed. The lifestyle is quite simple and in harmony with nature, living off the land and the sea. OCEANIA The term Oceania is normally used to designate all the islands of the Central and the South Pacific including Australia (continent), New Zealand and sometimes the Malay Archipelago. On this Web site, the focus is primarily directed towards the Pacific Islands of
European Ethnology - University Of Turku
University of Turku School of Cultural Research European ethnology . About ethnology. ethnology is humanistic study of cultures. ethnology is also a profession.
http://www.utu.fi/hum/kansatiede/eng/

Extractions: The central themes of research carried out by the Ethnology section of the Department is everyday life, i.e. the culture in which people live and into which they have been acculturated whether from birth or later in life. Ethnology deals with the phenomena, character and changing nature of culture and also the bonds of meaning that exist between people and their environment. Thus culture is viewed through both a physical and a mental dimension. Over the decades the research perspective has widened from that of surveying and describing peasant culture to include the fundamental issues of ethnicity and identity, the relationship between a person's source of livelihood and lifestyle or the experience and interpretation of the urban environment. The themes of teaching and the issues studied vary from two-roomed cottages to the patterns of integration displayed by immigrants. Here the focus is on phenomena in Finland and in the Baltic Sea region in general. However, the comparative approach brings in cultural phenomena from the rest of the Europe, and many of the
Ethno::log
The finest stuff from ethnology social/ cultural anthropology and cyberanthropology. Collected with ceaseless endeavour by the staff of the Institut f¼r Ethnologie and Afrikanistik in M¼nchen/ Germany and countless others.
http://sonner.antville.org/

Extractions: The 27 years old German Markus Giesler is not only North America's presumably youngest professor in marketing but also gained some experience as an 'Netnograf': UNISPIEGEL writes that "just like an anthropologist enters the Amazon jungle, Giesler enters the World Wide Web. He classifies the cyber consumers into tribes and researches into their rituals and religions. ... He has observed the Napster community which bootlegs music titles from each other's hard disk. Giesler mocks that they go after the slogan of 'liberty for information', an interpretation of Marx' and Engel's 'abolishment of property'. But instead of some profane internet thiefs he discovered a www-community (or congregation?) who wants to 'cleanse itself from the evil of music consuming culture' through their deeds". in German
The Depatment Of Ethnology
DEPARTMENT OF ethnology. Main page. The Department of History and ethnology offers study programmes in ethnology, Cultural Anthropology and Folkloristics.
http://www.jyu.fi/tdk/hum/etnologia/englishinfo.html

Extractions: The Department of History and Ethnology offers study programmes in Ethnology, Cultural Anthropology and Folkloristics . Finnish and comparative ethnology focuses on the meeting of cultures, and on studying change from both local and historical perspectives. Foreign cultures are the main area of interest in cultural anthropology, but the characteristic features of our own culture are also examined. Studies in folkloristics concentrate on both oral and written traditions, customs, habits, beliefs, narration, and the present traditions. Areas of research at the Department are varied: material culture, popular culture, everyday and private life, cultural communication, memory, ethnicity, identity, mentality, childhood, tradition/modernity, historical anthropology, human creativity, minorities, and cultural change. Geographically, the main areas of interest are: Africa, USA, Japan, Scandinavia, and various European cultures. The degree programmes consist of three study modules: basic studies, subject studies and advanced studies. Basic studies examine the basic concepts, principles of research, history and methods of ethnology. Subject studies concentrate on practising scientific research methods; on fieldwork courses the students practice interview techniques, observation, and photography. Additionally, the studies include visits to museums and archives. The Bachelor's thesis is also a part of subject studies. Advanced studies explore the theories, methods and problems of the student's own area of specialisation. Each student compiles his/her Master's thesis on the basis of independent fieldwork.

Introductory Page - Uncle Remus History/Ethnology Research Project
History and ethnology research project of Joe Harris' tales of Uncle Remus; includes selected texts.
http://xroads.virginia.edu/~UG97/remus/remus.html

Extractions: On July 20, 1879 an undersized thirty-year-old journalist from Atlanta known as Joe Harris began a journey from relative obscurity to interregional fame. On that day, the Atlanta Constitution published the young copy editor's "Story of Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Fox as told by Uncle Remus." Within months, magazines across the country were reprinting his tales, and after more than 1,000 written requests for a collection, the first Uncle Remus book was published in November, 1880. At the time, Harris said his purpose was not ethnology, or folklore analysis, but simply documentation. He doubted that his stories and character sketches would have any lasting historical value. He was wrong. Uncle Remus: Social Context and Ramifications is an attempt to reintroduce Harris' tales, and his legendary narrator, while placing them in a historical context. The primary sources and commentaries we offer hopefully will shed light on Harris' purpose in publishing his stories and the public response to both his Remus tales and his other works. They will make observations about post-Civil War black culture, and Southern society in general, using the stories and the reactions they engendered as points of reference. Hopefully, this collection will offer other students of the South one or two new insights into the region's endlessly complex myths and meanings.

Museum Der Europäischen Kulturen - Museum Of European Cultures
The Museum of Ethnography in Berlin collects and preserves objects of popular culture from the sixteenth century to the present. Established in June 1999 it embraces the merged collections of the Museum of Folklore and the European holdings in the Museum of ethnology in Berlin.
http://www.museen-berlin.de/mek/e/s.html

Extractions: Daguerreotype of a young couple, Hamburg, 1852 The Museum Europäischer Kulturen (Museum of European Cultures) is an important augmentation to Berlin's museums. Established in June 1999 it embraces the merged collections of the Museum für Volkskunde (Museum of Folklore) and the European holdings in the Museum für Völkerkunde (Museum of Ethnology) in Berlin. The concept of a museum of the history of European cultures complies with the present political situation: museums are endeavoured to play their role within the growing convergence of the European community. In its future collecting activity, research projects and exhibitions the Museum of European Cultures will trace cultural phenomena common to all of European lands and to specify their particular ethnic, regional and national characteristics. The Museum's first exhibition, "Cultural Contacts in Europe: the Fascination of Pictures", presents various aspects of the interrelation of European culture, as manifested in the production, dissemination and use of pictures. They demonstrate the reciprocal influence exerted by trade and travel, communication and confrontation. Pictures have traversed the boundaries of time and space, creating ties between the cultures.

Papua New Guinea Ethnology

http://www.janeresture.com/oceania_ethnology/png.htm

Extractions: PAPUA NEW GUINEA ETHNOLOGY The aboriginal Negroid Papuans, who occupied most of New Guinea, differ from the modified Melanesians of its eastern shores in many aspects of social customs, arts and crafts. The Papuans are more individualistic and democratic; they live in small, independent village communities, whose leader or headman does not submit to an hereditary territorial chieftain. They lack a comprehensive understanding of a universe and its controlling gods, and thus have no priesthood; tapu, too, is of little importance to them. Examples of Papua New Guinea art. Social status is of much greater significance to the Melanesians. Both in New Guinea and the islands, there are large organised men's clubs, with grades of membership acquired partly by definite accomplishments such as head-hunting, and partly by initiation fees in the form of pigs or other food for the accompanying feast. Huge club houses, adorned with all the resources of native art, are erected, and become repositories of sacred images and trophies of war. As might be expected, women and children are rigorously excluded from them. The young men, on qualifying for membership, are allocated a compartment in the house and given a recognized place in feasts and dances; they will also be permitted to wear some distinguishing badge, such as a feather crest or an elaborately carved bark belt. A duty of membership would have been to adorn their compartments, or the special rack at the front of the club house, with skulls taken from other tribes - headhunting, therefore, and general fighting and cannibalism were rife among them.
Solomon Islands Ethnology

Extractions: SOLOMON ISLANDS ETHNOLOGY Each of the islands in the Solomon Group has its own distinct culture and we can observe in the light plank-built canoes of Buka the same combination of carved and painted designs that are evident in New Ireland. Further south another and a very beautiful decorative fashion prevails: the production of glistening patterns of inlaid, pearly nautilus or other shell. Canoes, houses, and carved figures of men, birds and fish are all ornamented in this manner. Solomon Islands canoe Prow with pearl inlay c. 1890. Black wooden food bowls, both large and small, are in a form of a bird, with head, wings and tail simply outlined with inlaid shell. The bird frequently has a fish in its beak: surely an appropriate motive for the art of a coastal fishing community. The bird is a frigate bird, the same as that which is used for the basis of handicraft in New Guinea but in the Solomons it is treated much differently. It is carved in soft wood and is whorled and enspiralled into intricate and perplexing unrecognisability; but in the Solomon Islands pearl-shell inlay is reduced to the simplest outline, or even to the vestige of a wing, a head or an eye. It recovers its vitality and a measure of intricacy in the shallow, easily incised patterns on shell-disc pendants, but becomes angularly formalized again in the turtle-shell fretwork ornaments from Santa Cruz. 160: Ornate carving of a frigate bird.
