Her Name Came on Arrows - PREVIEW

Purchase: http://www.der.org/films/her-name-came-on-arrows.html In the eastern highlands of Papua New Guinea, French anthropologist Maurice Godelier invites five of his Baruya friends and informants to his house to discuss Baruya kinship and rules of marriage. As Godelier poses questions, the kinship rules that provide the cohesive fabric of Baruya culture are brought to life. Abstract terms are given practical meanings as Godelier investigates Baruya customs of stealing wives, exchanging sisters for wives, stealing names and exchanging 'food for blood.'

did attend his classes at the EHESS in Paris on Kinship. Great man and wonderful storyteller.

To my dismay, I only enjoyed answering questions coming from female students.

I couldn't blame him.

But some of my questions were not answered :(

Thank you very much for uploading this wonderful excerpt!!

I have been reading (and lecturing about) Maurice Godelier's work for years, now. And it's amazing for me to see professor Godelier taking notes, while doing fieldwork. Thanks again for uploading this beautiful video.
