The Ethnography of the Massim Region

3 credits

This course provides detailed knowledge of the Massim Region of Papua New Guina, a "classic" field in Anthropology since 1922, when Bronislaw Malinowski started to publish about the Trobriand Islands. A focus will be on the Southern part of this region, where the Dobu language is used. Since the library does not have much material, my own collection will be used to teach this class.
