De lo singular a lo universal • Introduction t is an honor, privilege, and pleasure for me to write the Introduction for this book, Psy- chiatry, Nature and Culture, From Singular to Universal. Tis book is the product of the FirstI International Congress that has been organized by GLADET, which was successfully held on April 17-20, 2008 in Guadalajara, Mexico. GLADET or Grupo Latino Americano de Estudios Transculturales, A.C. (Group of Latino American for Study of Transcultural Psychiatry) is revived under the leadership of Professor Sergio J. Villaseñor Bayardo, a cultural psychiatrist and anthropologist, presently working as a faculty member at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico. Te committee members of GLADET are composed of a group of colleagues from Mexico and various countries in South America, including: Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Te first international congress included many colleagues not only from Central and South America mainly, but also from Spain with a Latino background. Furthermore, many international colleagues from Europe, North America and Asia took a part of the congress to support this special event. For the scientific program, in addition to plenary lectures, 20 symposia were held including topics of various kinds, as reflected by its theme: Psychiatry, nature and culture: from singular to universal. Tis book is composed of selected articles from papers that were presented at the congress. Te authors are mainly from Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela. It also includes articles presented by colleagues from Spain, France and Andorra in Europe and USA and Canada in North America. Te articles not only included issues related to Latin America but also those related to culture and literature, human psychology and others. Te need of concern and attention to cultural aspects of human psychology and behavior as well as clinical assessment and care of patients has become a common knowledge and forceful movement around the world. It is very important not only to develop cultural psychiatry knowledge and experience locally in its own region but also particularly pertinent to compare with that derived from other regions and cultures. Tere is a great need of communication, sharing, and comparison to obtain the higher level of understanding. Tis is the base for the establishment of World Association of Cultural Psychiatry, to promote the development of cultural psychiatry around the world.

  • Matrilineal Kinship at Sea in Bougainville, PNG
    HUMANIORA VOLUME 30 Number 3 October 2018 Page 223–236 Matrilineal Kinship at Sea in Bougainville, PNG Katharina Schneider Independent Researcher E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper explores matrilineal kinship in the Buka area, in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, from the perspective of saltwater people on Pororan Island. In Bougainville and elsewhere in Melanesia, anthropological research has highlighted the importance of joint work in the gardens, of sharing and exchanging garden food, and of negotiations of access to land for kinship and relatedness in the region. Where does this leave saltwater people, who often have only small areas of land of their own, take little interest in gardening and depend on traded sweet potatoes or imported rice for meeting their subsistence needs? In the first part of this paper, I discuss the “landed” bias in anthropological research on kinship, including matrilineal kinship. I then suggest complementary descriptive and analytic terms that may be useful for researchers who want to understand kin relations among saltwater people, based on my experiences among Pororan Islanders in Bougainville. Finally, I indicate the theoretical contribution that these terms can make to research on kinship in landed settings, as well. Keywords: matrilineal kinship; saltwater people; maritime anthropology; Bougainville; Papua New Guinea INTRODUCTION The topic of this paper is matrilineal kinship among 05. The Buka area includes Buka Island, locally Pororan Islanders in Bougainville, PNG, and its called

  • Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands
    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands First compiled by Nancy Sack and Gwen Sinclair Updated by Nancy Sack Current to January 2020 Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands Background An inquiry from a librarian in Micronesia about how to identify subject headings for the Pacific islands highlighted the need for a list of authorized Library of Congress subject headings that are uniquely relevant to the Pacific islands or that are important to the social, economic, or cultural life of the islands. We reasoned that compiling all of the existing subject headings would reveal the extent to which additional subjects may need to be established or updated and we wish to encourage librarians in the Pacific area to contribute new and changed subject headings through the Hawai‘i/Pacific subject headings funnel, coordinated at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.. We captured headings developed for the Pacific, including those for ethnic groups, World War II battles, languages, literatures, place names, traditional religions, etc. Headings for subjects important to the politics, economy, social life, and culture of the Pacific region, such as agricultural products and cultural sites, were also included. Scope Topics related to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i would predominate in our compilation had they been included. Accordingly, we focused on the Pacific islands in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia (excluding Hawai‘i and New Zealand). Island groups in other parts of the Pacific were also excluded. References to broader or related terms having no connection with the Pacific were not included. Overview This compilation is modeled on similar publications such as Music Subject Headings: Compiled from Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings in Jewish Studies.

  • The Bougainville Crisis and Politics in Papua New Guinea
    .!I'!f'~ .' . ". ,....., , The Bougainville Crisis and Politics in Papua New Guinea YawSaffu In its sixteenth year of independent statehood, the political regime in Papua New Guinea (PNG) remains a vibrant liberal democracy of the Westminster parliamentary type with extensive devolution of powers to nineteen provincial governments, each with its own elected assembly and cabinet. But having retained a unilateral capacity to alter functions between itself and the provinces, and having kept a tight hold on the reve­ nue sources and the purse strings, the central government is not as consti­ tutionally shackled as in a true federation. The public service and the judi­ ciary are not decentralized. From the pre-independence, self-government period of the early seven­ ties right up to 1991, governments in Papua New Guinea have been coali­ tion governments of up to five parties. The party system is highly frac­ tionalized. The parties in it are a combination of feeble electoral machines that sputter into life just before elections and pragmatic parliamentary fac­ tions with no strong internal discipline, no abiding adherence to an ideol­ ogy or party principles, and no deep loyalty to party leaders. Together with the coalition character of governments, these attributes of the party system have made the country's politics not only extremely open and tol­ erant, but also somewhat unstable and unpredictable. Four genuinely free elections since 1972 have resulted in only one change, in 1982, of an incumbent government. But three changes of gov­ ernment through a vote of no confidence on the floor of Parliament, in 1980, 1985, and 1988, have occurred.

  • Papua New Guinea 2017 Human Rights Report
    PAPUA NEW GUINEA 2017 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Papua New Guinea is a constitutional, federal, multiparty, parliamentary democracy. Parliamentary elections took place in June, and the People’s National Congress won a majority in the 111-seat unicameral parliament, led by Prime Minister Peter O’Neill. In some parts of the country, electoral contests involved widespread violence, fraud, bribery, voter intimidation, and undue influence. Civilian authorities at times did not maintain effective control over the security forces. The most significant human rights issues included: arbitrary killings by police; severe police abuse of detainees and citizens; harsh and sometimes violent conditions of detention for refugees and asylum seekers, including in the Australian-run regional refugee processing center (RPC) on Manus Island; restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly; arbitrary and violent displacement of people from their homes; government corruption; violence against women and girls; abuse and sexual exploitation of children; trafficking in persons; the criminalization of sexual activities between men, although the law was not enforced; intertribal violence; vigilante killings and abuses; child labor; and forced labor. The government frequently failed to prosecute or punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere in the government. Impunity was pervasive. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings During the year there were several reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. In May police officers shot and killed a man near his home in West New Britain Province.
