Class This course offers an introduction to some of the classical and current issues in the Description anthropology of Indigenous Australia. The role of anthropology in the representation and governance of Indigenous life is itself an important subject for anthropological inquiry, considering that Indigenous people of Australia have long been the objects of interest and imagination by outsiders for their cultural formulations of kinship, ritual, art, gender, and politics. These representations—in feature films about them (such as Rabbit-Proof Fence and Australia), New Age Literature (such as Mutant Message Down Under), or museum exhibitions (such as in the Museum of Sydney or the Australian Museum)—are now also in dialogue with Indigenous forms of cultural production, in genres as diverse as film, television, drama, dance, art and writing. The course will explore how Aboriginal people have struggled to reproduce themselves and their traditions on their own terms, asserting their right to forms of cultural autonomy and self-determination.

  • Language in the Constitution of Kinship Ian Keen
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by The Australian National University Language in the Constitution of Kinship Ian Keen Abstract Kinship has been an “essentially contested concept” in social and cultural anthropology. Nevertheless, linguistic and anthropological linguistic studies of kinship terminologies, grammar, and pragmatics have developed in parallel with anthropological ones. Lacking, however, is a broad overview of the range of linguistic variation across languages that would build a bridge between the linguistics and anthropology of kinship. Toward that end, this article explores the role of language in the constitution of kinship. It asks, on what linguistic resources do people of different cultures and languages draw in order to constitute kinship as an institution? Introduction Kinship has been an “essentially contested concept” (Gaille 1955-6) in cultural and social anthropology. Not only has the topic moved away from center stage since the 1970s, but there has been a shift from analyses in terms of seemingly universal types of institution toward a focus on “practice” (Carsten 2000:2). Doubt has been cast on the validity of classifying types of society in terms of kinship (as in “matrilineal societies”), the cultural 1 salience of kinship as a category, and on its utility in cross-cultural translation (e.g. Schneider 1984; Needham 1971). Connections resulting in enduring relations have been found to be far more diverse than “biological” relations (Godelier 2011; Sahlins 2012). Not least, the field of the family in industrial societies has been extended through changes in the constitution of domestic groups, as well as in technologies of reproduction, leading to new varieties of parenthood and resulting relations (Carsten 2004; Strathern 2011).

  • The Legacy of Radcliffe-Brown's Typology of Australian Aboriginal Kinship Systems
    THE LEGACY OF RADCLIFFE-BROWN'S TYPOLOGY OF AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL KINSHIP SYSTEMS Ian Keen School of Archaeology and Anthropology The Australian National University Canberra, Australia [email protected] I review A. R. Radcliffe-Brown’s approach to the classification of Australian Abo- riginal kinship terminologies and marriage systems, including revisions by A. P. Elkin. I contrast Radcliffe-Brown’s approach to typology with those of Lévi- Strauss and Scheffler, and I trace the way in which certain of Radcliffe-Brown’s categories have become standardised in the anthropological literature. Following a discussion of approaches to classification, I propose a new classification of Aus- tralian systems and examine the frequency and spatial distribution of the pro- posed types. Introduction As Adam Kuper (1983:l45) remarks, there is no doubt that A. R. Radcliffe-Brown made a significant contribution to the understanding of Australian Aboriginal systems of kinship and marriage in his 1931 synthesis, whatever the arguments about his originality and the validity of his claim to have ‘discovered’ the Kariera system (White 1981; Needham 1982; Radcliffe-Brown 1931). His typology of Australian systems, or rather, a simplifi- cation of it, has been the standard for some eighty years. Radcliffe-Brown’s analysis classifies Australian kinship systems into a large number of ‘types’, although he took Kariera and Aranda as prototypes of many systems. He classifies not only systems of kin classification, but also systems of social organization including marriage, moieties and sections etc., and types of ‘hordes’. He thought that many other systems were variants of the two focal types, Kariera and Aranda, but he recognized several other main types as well, including Murngin, and Forrest and Lyne Rivers types.
