  • Spencer and Gillen's Collaborative Fieldwork in Central Australia and Its Legacy
    JASO 3113 (2000): 309-328 SPENCER AND GILLEN'S COLLABORATIVE FIELDWORK IN CENTRAL AUSTRALIA AND ITS LEGACY ALISON PETCR Introduction THE collaborative fieldwork of Baldwin Spencer and Frank Gillen in Central Aus­ tralia from 1894 to 1903 is well known; if not always for its own sake, then at least for the use that was made of it by James Frazer, Emile Durkheim, and others. From as early as 1904, however, a number of anthropologists have questioned their fieldwork methodology, their ability to speak to their informants in their own languages, and their relations with their Aboriginal infonnants (see, for example, Austin-Broos 1999). In this essay I discuss the importance of the large amount of material still extant from, or directly relating to, their fieldwork (a summary list of which is provided in the appendix), and the potential future uses to which this ma­ terial could be put. In particular, through attention to the surviving documentation, I attempt to answer some of the criticisms that have been levelled at them and their fieldwork. I begin, however, with a short biographical introduction to both men, before considering in greater detail their fieldwork and the current interest in their surviving field journals, note books, and other materials. This essay is based on a talk given in the seminar series 'Material Anthropology and Mu­ seum Ethnography' held at the Pitt Rivers Museum Research Centre. University of Oxford, in Michaelmas 2000. I am grateful to the following for their help in preparing this essay: Jeremy Coote, Sandra Dudley, Tom Griffiths, Chantal Knowles, Howard Morphy, and John Mulvaney.
