    Abstract: By adopting ideas like "development," members of a Papua New Guinean community find themselves continuously negotiating what can be expected of a relative or a community member. Nearly half the people born on the remote Mbuke Islands become teachers, businessmen, or bureaucrats in urban centers, while those who stay at home ask migrant relatives "What about me?" This detailed ethnography sheds light on remittance motivations and documents how terms like "community" can be useful in places otherwise permeated by kinship. As the state withdraws, Mbuke people explore what social ends might be reached through involvement with the cash economy.

    Deliberate Perspectival Obstructions: Looking at Nothing in Papua New Guinea (2017)
    Associated volumes

    Abstract: This article discusses the collaborative use of what the authors call 'perspectival obstructions'. Taking its outset in the events revolving around a series of challenges given to each other, as well as to their interlocutors, in Papua New Guinea, the article unfolds how obstructions may be tied to a radical shift in perspective that allows partly for the invisible and absent to emerge as visible and present, and for different potentialities of persons and social relations to be brought to light. Hence the article demonstrates how obstruction and intervention as parts of the ethnographic methodology may help elicit perspectives that are otherwise kept hidden (deliberately or not), such as power-relations or the occluded side of a friendship or a kinship relation. This, in turn, also poses a danger to the otherwise collaborative ideal of modern ethnographic fieldwork in literally challenging and affecting 'the natives' point of view'.

    Abstract: This article discusses the use of film and photography in studying crafts associated with kastom (custom or tradition) in Manus, Papua New Guinea. It is argued that by engaging local people in directing our cameras we might produce images that are non-representational, images that will in their own right participate in social life, much like the artifacts whose making is discussed here. Rather than pointing to the limitations of still and moving pictures as compared to human perception, I argue that an image has the potential to synthesize and offer to its audience a multiplicity of meanings, precisely by not being anything like a perspective.
