TY - GEN T1 - Society of others : kinship and mourning in a West Papuan place A1 - Stasch, Rupert LA - English PP - Berkeley PB - University of California Press YR - 2009 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_on1298208764 AB - This important study upsets the popular assumption that human relations in small-scale societies are based on shared experience. In a theoretically innovative account of the lives of the Korowai of West Papua, Indonesia, Rupert Stasch shows that in this society, people organize their connections to each another around otherness. Analyzing the Korowai people's famous "tree house" dwellings, their patterns of living far apart, and their practices of kinship, marriage, and childbearing and rearing, Stasch argues that the Korowai actively make relations not out of what they have in common, but out.
