Physical Activity Participation and Constraints Among Athletic Training Students
Authors: Stanek Justin , Rogers Katherine , Anderson Jordan
Published: February 2015

Context:

Researchers have examined the physical activity (PA) habits of certified athletic trainers; however, none have looked specifically at athletic training students.

Objective:

To assess PA participation and constraints to participation among athletic training students.

Design:

Cross-sectional study.

Setting:

Entry-level athletic training education programs (undergraduate and graduate) across the United States.

Patients or Other Participants:

Participants were 1125 entry-level athletic training students.

Main Outcome Measure(s):

Self-reported PA participation, including a calculated PA index based on a typical week. Leisure constraints and demographic data were also collected.

Results:

Only 22.8% (252/1105) of athletic training students were meeting the American College of Sports Medicine recommendations for PA through moderate-intensity cardiorespiratory exercise. Although 52.3% (580/1105) were meeting the recommendations through vigorous-intensity cardiorespiratory exercise, 60.5% (681/1125) were meeting the recommendations based on the combined total of moderate or vigorous cardiorespiratory exercise. In addition, 57.2% (643/1125) of respondents met the recommendations for resistance exercise. Exercise habits of athletic training students appear to be better than the national average and similar to those of practicing athletic trainers. Students reported structural constraints such as lack of time due to work or studies as the most significant barrier to exercise participation.

Conclusions:

Athletic training students experienced similar constraints to PA participation as practicing athletic trainers, and these constraints appeared to influence their exercise participation during their entry-level education. Athletic training students may benefit from a greater emphasis on work-life balance during their entry-level education to promote better health and fitness habits.
Athletic Training Services in Public Secondary Schools: A Benchmark Study
Authors: Pryor Riana R. , Casa Douglas J. , Vandermark Lesley W. , Stearns Rebecca L. , Attanasio Sarah M. , Fontaine Garrett J. , Wafer Alex M.
Published: February 2015

Context:

Authors of the most recent study of athletic training (AT) services have suggested that only 42% of secondary schools have access to athletic trainers. However, this study was limited by a small sample size and was conducted more than 10 years ago.

Objective:

To determine current AT services in public secondary schools.

Design:

Cross-sectional study.

Setting:

Public secondary schools in the United States.

Patients or Other Participants:

A total of 8509 (57%) of 14 951 secondary schools from all 50 states and Washington, DC, responded to the survey.

Main Outcome Measure(s):

Data on AT services were collected for individual states, National Athletic Trainers' Association districts, and the nation.

Results:

Of the 8509 schools that responded, 70% (n = 5930) had AT services, including full-time (n = 3145, 37%), part-time (n = 2619, 31%), and per diem (n = 199, 2%) AT services, and 27% (n = 2299) had AT services from a hospital or physical therapy clinic. A total of 4075 of 8509 schools (48%) provided coverage at all sports practices. Eighty-six percent (2 394 284/2 787 595) of athletes had access to AT services.

Conclusions:

Since the last national survey, access to AT services increased such that 70% of respondent public secondary schools provided athletic trainers at sports games or practices. Approximately one-third of all public secondary schools had full-time athletic trainers. This number must increase further to provide appropriate medical coverage at athletic practices and games for secondary school athletes.
Model studies of volatile diesel exhaust particle formation: organic vapours involved in nucleation and growth?
Authors: Pirjola L. , Karl M. , Rönkkö T. , Arnold F.
Published: February 2015

Abstract. High concentration of volatile nucleation mode particles (NUP) formed in the atmosphere during exhaust cools and dilutes have hazardous health effects and impair visibility in urban areas. Nucleation mechanisms in diesel exhaust are only poorly understood. We performed model studies using two sectional aerosol dynamics process models AEROFOR and MAFOR on the formation of particles in the exhaust of a diesel engine, equipped with an oxidative after-treatment system and running with low fuel sulphur content (FSC), under laboratory sampling conditions where the dilution system mimics real-world conditions. Different nucleation mechanisms were tested; based on the measured gaseous sulphuric acid (GSA) and non-volatile core and soot particle number concentrations of the raw exhaust, the model simulations showed that the best agreement between model predictions and measurements in terms of particle number size distribution was obtained by barrierless heteromolecular homogeneous nucleation between GSA and semi-volatile organic vapour (for example adipic acid) combined with the homogeneous nucleation of GSA alone. Major growth of the particles was predicted to occur by the same organic vapour at concentrations of (1-2) ×1012cm−3. The pre-existing core and soot mode concentrations had opposite trend on the NUP formation, and maximum NUP formation was predicted if a diesel particle filter (DPF) was used. On the other hand, NUP formation was ceased if the GSA concentration was less than 1010cm−3 which suggests, based on the measurements, the usage of biofuel to prevent volatile particles in diesel exhaust.
Frozen ponds: production and storage of methane during the Arctic winter in a lowland tundra landscape in northern Siberia, Lena River delta
Authors: Langer M. , Westermann S. , Walter Anthony K. , Wischnewski K. , Boike J.
Published: February 2015

Abstract. Lakes and ponds play a key role in the carbon cycle of permafrost ecosystems, where they are considered to be hotspots of carbon dioxide CO2 and methane CH4 emission. The strength of these emissions is, however, controlled by a variety of physical and biogeochemical processes whose responses to a warming climate are complex and only poorly understood. Small waterbodies have been attracting an increasing amount of attention since recent studies demonstrated that ponds can make a significant contribution to the CO2 and CH4emissions of tundra ecosystems. Waterbodies also have a marked effect on the thermal state of the surrounding permafrost; during the freezing period they prolong the period of time during which thawed soil material is available for microbial decomposition. This study presents net CH4 production rates during the freezing period from ponds within a typical lowland tundra landscape in northern Siberia. Rate estimations were based on CH4 concentrations measured in surface lake ice from a variety of waterbody types. Vertical profiles along ice blocks showed an exponential increase in CH4 concentration with depth. These CH4 profiles were reproduced by a 1-D mass balance model and the net CH4 production rates were then inferred through inverse modeling. Results revealed marked differences in early winter net CH4 production among various ponds. Ponds situated within intact polygonal ground structures yielded low net production rates, of the order of 10-11 to 10-10 mol m-2 s-1 (0.01 to 0.14 mgCH4 m-2 day-1). In contrast, ponds exhibiting clear signs of erosion yielded net CH4 production rates of the order of 10-7 mol m-2 s-1 (140 mg CH4 m-2 day-1). Our results therefore indicate that once a particular threshold in thermal erosion has been crossed, ponds can develop into major CH4 sources. This implies that any future warming of the climate may result in nonlinear CH4 emission behavior in tundra ecosystems.
Temporal and spatial variability in precipitation trends in the Southeast Tibetan Plateau during 1961–2012
Authors: Zhang X.-L. , Wang S.-J. , Zhang J.-M. , Wang G. , Tang X.-Y.
Published: February 2015

Abstract. Using the monthly precipitation data at 14 stations from 1961 to 2012, the precipitation trends at the seasonal and annual scales are analyzed using the Mann–Kendall test in the Southeast Tibetan Plateau (STP). The area-averaged precipitation shows an increasing trend in the STP with strong temporal and spatial variations. The seasonal and annual precipitation increased, except in the summer; the annual precipitation increased by about one millimeter pre year over the last 52 years. The spring precipitation significantly increased at the 99% confidence level, while the mean summer precipitation insignificantly decreased at the 95% confidence level. The extreme precipitation, including the maxima and minima, also experienced overall increases. More than 78% of the stations exhibited increases in the annual precipitation (93% in spring). The precipitation variation with elevation was not obvious, but the variation with complex topography was obvious in the STP. The largest precipitation increases and decreases occurred in high-precipitation areas, while the increasing precipitation was dominant in or near the main area of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The results of this study reveal the spatio-temporal variability in the precipitation trends in the STP for the first time. The results are beneficial for understanding the local climate characteristics in the STP and in the entire TP.
Immobilized Coprinus plicatilis Biodegradation of Fluorene in Two Different Packed-Bed Reactors
Authors: Akdogan Hatice Ardag
Published: February 2015

The biodegradation of fluorene by immobilized Coprinus plicatilis was studied in pinewood and foam glass bead-packed reactors. The reactors were operated in a sequencing batch system. Removal efficiency increased over time and elevated influent fluorene concentration (85 mg/L) was removed 100% in 24–30 h batch cycles. Increased laccaseactivity was detected with the introduction of the compounds, and optimum activity corresponded to optimum removal periods. Significantly higher laccase activity (16.7–19 U/L) was detected in the glassbead-packed reactor compared to the pinewood-packed reactor (0.2–5 U/L). The presence of Mn2+ ions in the wood material possibly caused elevated manganese peroxidase activity (0.3–5.8U/L) compared to low to negligible activity in the glass bead reactor. Reactor performances are discussed in relation to sequencing batch operation and nutrient requirements necessary to induce and sustain fungal enzyme activity in inert-like organic material packed systems. Biodegradation metabolites were detected in samples via GC/MS.

Published: February 2015

The Protein and Enzymes Technical Committee of American Association of Cereal Chemists initiated a collaborative study to confirm whether the G12 antibody-based sandwich ELISA test kit is able to detect gluten in the lower mg/kg (ppm) level. Twenty laboratories investigated 24 heat-treated and non-heat-treated blind-coded samples with incurred gluten levels up to 100 mg/kg. The method has been validated for testing foods to conform to the defined Codex thresholds for gluten in gluten-free products at less than 20 mg gluten/kg. The collaborative study showed that low levels of gluten could be detected by G12 Sandwich ELISA with reproducibility RSDR of 32%and repeatability RSDr of 16%. Incurred samples showed a recovery between 62 and 135%. It is recommended that the method be accepted by AOAC as Official First Action.
Dignité/Dignidade: Organizing against Threats to Dignity in Societies after Slavery
Authors: Scott Rebecca J.
Published: February 2015

Examining Reconstruction-era campaigns for equal rights and twenty-first-century struggles against contemporary slavery, this essay explores the institution of slavery and the giving of meanings to the concept of dignity. In both instances, activists portray slavery as a paradigmatic violation of human dignity. In Louisiana between 1862 and the 1890s, equal-rights campaigners invoked practices associated with slavery in order to portray racial segregation as an affront to dignity. In Brazil two hundred years later, prosecutors document ‘humiliating and degrading labour’ practices under the rubric of ‘labour analogous to that of slavery’, thus triggering legal protection of workers’ constitutionally-guaranteed right to dignity. The causation goes in opposite directions in the two cases, but the terms ‘slavery’ and ‘dignity’ continue to give meaning to the other, making it possible to characterize the specific wrong in question.
Human Rights, Human Dignity,and Human Experience
Authors: Carozza Paolo G.
Published: February 2015

The contested understandings of human dignity today make it very problematic as a reliable principle for determining the scope and merit of particular claims of human rights (at least beyond the principle’s narrow, universally agreed-upon core meaning). Merely relying on an overlapping consensus is insufficient. Nevertheless, the beginnings of a broader shared understanding of the meaning and implications of human dignity, as a foundational principle of human rights law, can emerge from our concrete experience. As a common point of reference for critically evaluating and integrating the diversity of instantiations of human rights in differing legal traditions, the elementary experience of human dignity leads us to regard law as a vehicle for sustained and reasoned reflection on the value of human persons and on the scope of our obligations to respect and protect them.
Le cru et les cuisses : écrire à l’adresse de l’Amérique
Authors: Hanrahan Mairéad
Published: February 2015

Cet article a pour objet d’étude les deux textes que Genet a écrits lors de la Convention nationale démocrate de 1968, « Les membres de l’Assemblée » et « Un salut aux cent mille étoiles ». Il est axé sur la question de l’adresse : non seulement Genet s’adresse-t-il dans ces textes explicitement, au vocatif, aux Américains, mais c’est l’occasion insolite de pouvoir s’adresser directement à eux qui l’a convaincu d’aller aux États-Unis. Quelque directe que semble être l’adresse, ce sont des textes écrits, adressés à un lecteur et non à un auditeur, qui en plus étaient destinés dès l’origine à la traduction. Il s’agit alors d’une adresse « directe » aux Américains marquée doublement par l’indirection, par la médiation. Le rapport hostile de Genet à son nouvel ennemi de choix est caractérisé par une crudité manifeste qui atteint une violence extrême dans le deuxième article. En explorant le soin avec lequel Genet cible son destinataire américain, l’article dégage la façon dont son écriture, avec toute l’adresse qui lui est particulière, combine cette crudité avec une grande subtilité.
Lithospheric instability and the source of the Cameroon Volcanic Line: Evidence from Rayleigh wave phase velocity tomography
Authors: Adams Aubreya N. , Wiens Douglas A. , Nyblade Andrew A. , Euler Garrett G. , Shore Patrick J. , Tibi Rigobert
Published: February 2015

The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) is a 1800 km long volcanic chain, extending SW‐NE from the Gulf of Guinea into Central Africa, that lacks the typical age progression exhibited by hot spot‐related volcanic tracks. This study investigates the upper mantle seismic structure beneath the CVL and surrounding regions to constrain the origin of volcanic lines that are poorly described by the classic plume model. Rayleigh wave phase velocities are measured at periods from 20 to 182 s following the two‐plane wave methodology, using data from the Cameroon Seismic Experiment, which consists of 32 broadband stations deployed between 2005 and 2007. These phase velocities are then inverted to build a model of shear wave velocity structure in the upper mantle beneath the CVL. Results show that phase velocities beneath the CVL are reduced at all periods, with average velocities beneath the CVL deviating more than –2% from the regional average and +4% beneath the Congo Craton. This distinction is observed for all periods but is less pronounced for the longest periods measured. Inversion for shear wave velocity structure indicates a tabular low velocity anomaly directly beneath the CVL at depths of 50 to at least 200 km and a sharp vertical boundary with faster velocities beneath the Congo Craton. These observations demonstrate widespread infiltration or erosion of the continental lithosphere beneath the CVL, most likely caused by mantle upwelling associated with edge‐flow convection driven by the Congo Craton or by lithospheric instabilities that develop due to the nearby edge of the African continent.
Olefin Hydrogenation with Rigid Mono‐P‐stereogenic Diphosphines: A Flexible Rhodium Ring to Rule Them All?
Authors: Rast Slavko , Stephan Michel , Mohar Barbara
Published: February 2015

The preparation of a rigid C1‐symmetric P‐stereogenic diphosphine series possessing a P‐o‐diphenylphosphinophenyl moiety and its use in RhI‐catalyzed hydrogenation of benchmark olefins, is presented. This simplified ligand design, wherein some specific features (backbone flexibility, identical nature of P,P′‐substituents) of related C2‐symmetric ethylene‐bridged diphosphines were knocked out, is a useful study‐tool with which to better understand the role of essential motifs that guide catalysis in the original model.
Attitudes and emotions towards pain and sensitivity to painful stimuli among people routinely engaging in masochistic behaviour
Authors: Defrin R. , Arad M. , Ben‐Sasson M.P. , Ginzburg K.
Published: February 2015

Background

People engaged in masochistic behaviour (MB) seek to experience pain and the pleasure it evokes in sadomasochistic (S&M) sessions. The sensitivity and attitude to pain in these individuals has hardly been tested. We evaluated pain perception among these individuals and tested whether their experiences and attitudes towards pain are context‐related.

Methods

Thirty‐four healthy subjects participated; 17 routinely engaged in MB and 17 controls. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured in two body regions. A structured questionnaire on S&M activities and context‐related pain experiences and emotions was completed, as well as the pain catastrophizing (CAT) and fear of pain (FOP) questionnaires.

Results

PPT was significantly higher among MB individuals and positively correlated with the frequency of S&M sessions. MB individuals also had lower levels of CAT, and FOP correlated negatively with the frequency of MB and the number of body regions involved. Pleasure evoked during S&M sessions correlated positively with pain intensity and number of body regions involved. Pain in everyday life correlated negatively with MB activities. However, the emotional attitude to everyday pain was ambivalent: MB individuals perceived pain intensity and unpleasantness similar to the controls, but simultaneously gained pleasure from the pain.

Conclusions

MB individuals exhibited pain hyposensitivity, presumably resulting from frequent engagement in MB. Alternatively, these subjects may have a predisposition which enables this engagement. Attitudes towards pain in MB individuals are complex. They appear to be context‐related with pain experienced as pleasurable and rewarding during S&M sessions, and negative but still pleasurable in everyday life.
Morphological, physicochemical, and antioxidant profile of noncommercial banana cultivars
Authors: Anyasi Tonna A. , Jideani Afam I.O. , Mchau Godwin A.
Published: February 2015

Banana cultivars––Luvhele (MusaABB), Mabonde (MusaAAA), and Muomva‐red (Musa balbisiana) ––were characterized for morphological, physicochemical, and antioxidant properties. All three cultivars varied significantly (P < 0.05) in their morphology, pH, titratable acidity and total soluble solids with no significant difference in their ash content. Individual cultivars showed variations in flour starch granule when observed using a scanning electron microscope. Characterization of cultivars for total polyphenols (TPs) and antioxidant activity upon pretreatment with ascorbic, citric, and lactic acid shows that the 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay of samples varied significantly as Muomva‐red cultivar (1.02 ± 0.01 mg GA/g) expressed the highest DPPH activity at lactic acid concentration of 20 g/L. Total polyphenol content was also highest for Muomva‐red [1091.76 ± 122.81 mg GAE/100 g (d.w.)]. The high amount of TPs present in these cultivars make them suitable source of bio‐nutrients with great medicinal and health functions.

MISSION INFLUENCE AMONGST THE KEVERI OF SOUTH‐EAST PAPUA
Authors: Williams F. E.
Published: February 2015

(In the early part of 1940, the late Dr. F. E. Williams made a six weeks' expedition to the Keveri Valley. He had expected to study there an example of sex‐affiliation, the system by which children are affiliated to the groups of their parents according to their sex (vide F. E. Williams, “Sex Affiliation and its Implications,” Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Vol. LXII, pp. 51–82). But the social organization of the Keveri had been so broken up, largely through native evangelistic fervour, that he could not see the system in full working order.

The following report was put at my disposal by Dr. Williams a short time before his death. The greater part of it is an enlightening study of the effect of a modern religious movement on a native people.—EDITOR.)

MYTH, TOTEMISM AND THE CREATION OF CLANS
Authors: Morphy Howard
Published: February 2015

This paper considers the relationship between two component types or categories of myth from the Yirrkala region of north‐eastern Arnhem Land, which I define respectively as those of inheritance and creation. I argue that the existence of the two components of myth reflects conceptual problems associated with the transfer of power from the ancestral past to the present, in these clan‐based societies in which the structure of the clan system is believed to be ancestrally preordained, yet the creation of clans is part of a continuing political process. The paper places Yolngu totemism in the context of the politics of group relations, and focuses on the tension between autonomy and exchange which provides much of the underlying dynamic to Yolngu social organisation. The totemic/mythological system has the flexibility to enable ancestral precedence to apparently underlie group organisation despite the latter's inherently imminent and contextual nature. The structure of the mythological system, and the particular way in which it articulates with the politics of group organisation, enables the network of ancestral tracks associated with the myths of creation to be perpetuated in a way that makes them both distal and protected from the disorderly changes of the present, yet an integral part of the process of social reproduction.
Madness and colonisation: The embodiment of power in Pangia
Authors: Clark Jeffrey
Published: February 2015

The article considers two examples of ‘madness’ which occurred during the colonial era in Pangia district, Southern Highlands Province, PNG. The first, immediately prior to pacification, concerned outbreaks of madness among young Wiru men which were similar to the ‘wildman’ behaviour described in the Highlands ethnography. The second style of madness was associated with the so‐called ‘hysteria’ accompanying revival activity by Christian missions. The two styles are compared using a Foucauldian perspective, primarily for the ways in which colonial technologies of power were inscribed on the bodies of Pangia people. The article presents an anatomy of colonial power, and suggests an ethnohistory of the body is possible. It examines the ways in which this power was created through discourses and practices involving concepts of the ‘primitive’ and ‘heathen,’ resulting in a transformation of the Wiru subject.
Rethinking Aboriginal ‘Resistance’: The Community Development Employment (CEPD) Program
Authors: Rowse Tim
Published: February 2015

In this paper I wish to contribute to an understanding of ‘Aboriginal resistance’ by a study of the politics of remote Aborigines' ‘employment’. I begin by highlighting some themes in recent discussions of the Community Development Employment Projects (cdep) policy, before looking back at some features of the welfare and pastoral economy in the Central Australian hinterland, c. 1950 to c. 1975. My aim is twofold: to show some of the cultural continuities in the relationships between remote Aborigines and government; and to criticise constructively the notion of ‘Aboriginal resistance’, to advocate a structural and processual notion of ‘resistance’ and to move away from one based on the clear identification of actors.
The Great Shoe Store Robbery1
Authors: Hutchings Suzi
Published: February 2015

This article contributes to the significant debate on the effects of the Australian criminal justice system on Aborigines and in particular Aboriginal youth. This debate fed into nation‐wide concern over an ever increasing number of Aboriginal deaths in custody, recently culminating in the Federal Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Through the use of case studies and other ethnographic data drawn from investigations in the country town of Port Augusta, South Australia, the author illustrates how the agents of the legal and welfare systems in this state operate to present a view of Aboriginal juvenile crime as a normal response to these children's social environment and social conditioning. This process in turn, it is argued, reinforces and legitimates Aboriginal juvenile crime and contributes to its continuance, and the subsequent over‐representation of Aboriginal youths at all stages of the juvenile justice system. Yet it is forcefully pointed out that Aboriginal children are not passive victims of the legal and welfare systems. Rather, they form their own interpretations of these systems and their ‘criminal’ activities are often attempts at defiance and capturing some form of control of their own lives in the face of a legal/welfare system seeking to impose control over them. Unfortunately, it is these very activities which return Aboriginal children to the legal and welfare systems they act against.

Art and Procreative Illusion in the Sepik: Comparing the Abelam and the Arapesh
Authors: Tuzin Donald
Published: February 2015

This essay extends Anthony Forge's ideas about the ‘unspoken meanings’ of Abelam ritual art, by testing them against cognate forms among the neighboring Ilahita Arapesh, and by invoking L.R. Hiatt's insights into ‘pseudo‐procreation rites’ among Australian Aborigines. It is argued that the meanings of Abelam visual art and Arapesh myth are comparably ineffable, and that in both cases this non‐verbal quality conduces to the expression of ideas that are cognitively, socially, or emotionally unacceptable to consciousness. The conclusions are, first, that veiled, ritual and aesthetic expressions of ‘procreation’ permit the men to enact a fantasy of male parthenogenesis; and, secondly, that the cult‐sponsored tricks and illusions surrounding these expressions have the effect of surreptitiously appropriating female procreative power to the concealed goals of male ritual.

Against Nostalgia: Place and Memory in Myles Lalor's ‘Oral History’
Authors: Beckett Jeremy
Published: February 2015

Western thought tends to see aboriginal identity as dependent upon a particularistic ubiety. Myles Lalor, a New South Wales Aborigine, proposes another kind of identity which recognises that for his generation the tie between place and people is liable to be ruptured, but asserts that wherever there are Aboriginal people there are other places to be Aboriginal. Lalor presents his refusal of nostalgia in the form of an autobiography which articulates memories through a sense of his own agency.
The Choosers or the Dispossessed? Aspects of the Work of some French Eighteenth Century Pacific Explorers
Authors: Elliott Jane
Published: February 2015

This paper links the work of eighteenth century French explorers with that being done by contemporary anthropologists. Good ethnographic writers are not necessarily limited by the texts they read before going into the field and, since the time of Bougainville, have actively evaluated what they saw against what they had read. Bougainville himself has been much underrated as an ethnographer and this paper accounts for the trivializing of his work. Furthermore, the paper makes it clear that there was not one unified attitude concerning the Other in eighteenth century France. In noting that abridged or re‐written forms of the explorers' journals were extremely popular, the paper posits the idea that at any one time there is a limit as to how much We want to know about Them. Finally, the paper considers the role of the exotic in obliging the French to re‐define the knowledge systems they were building in their own culture. In this context, the ethnographic text is seen as a provocation in proportion to the amount of the exotic world of ‘other’ it conveys.
Enmity and Amity: Reconsidering Stone‐headed Club (gabagaba) Procurement and Trade in Torres Strait
Authors: McNiven Ian J.
Published: February 2015

Historical records for Torres Strait, including those from Haddon's 1898 Cambridge Anthropological Expedition, identify the Papuan mainland as the main trade source for stone‐headed clubs (gabagaba). This view has persisted despite the contradictory facts that the Papuan lowlands are essentially devoid of stone and Torres Strait abounds in stone suitable for club manufacture. Not surprisingly, preliminary raw material findings for ethnographic and archaeological gabagaba in museums indicate that local Torres Strait manufacture was more significant than previously thought. Some of the early confusion over gabagaba sources probably reflects diffusionist assumptions that ‘superior’ cultural items, such as stone‐headed clubs, must have moved from so‐called ‘advanced’ Papuans to ‘less‐developed’ Torres Strait Islanders. However, more significant is the lack of understanding of the multiple and complex roles of gabagaba in inter‐group social relations which saw clubs moving between Islanders and Papuans through looting, trade and ceremonial exchange. Apart from their well‐documented use as lethal weapons during head‐hunting raids, I argue that gabagaba also had an important ceremonial role in exchanges between hostile groups aimed at cementing social alliances. Following post‐contact disruptions to trading networks and inter‐group hostilities, the social/ceremonial roles of gabagaba were emphasised while gabagaba production became less specialised.
Sacred Cows of ‘Development’: the Ritual Incorporation of a Dairy Project in the Eastern Interior of Fiji (c.1980–1997)
Authors: Abramson Allen
Published: February 2015

In the same way that store‐goods once became the symbolic cornerstone of certain millenarian movements, features of development projects in rural areas of contemporary Oceania may become mythically and ritually re‐contextualised. This paper examines the ritual metamorphosis of a modernising dairy development scheme in the eastern interior of ‘Big Fiji’, a scheme which is also caught up in the collective processes of animal sacrifice and festive redistribution. The paper asks: what impact does ritual incorporation have upon the individualistic ethos and nucleated organisation of the project?

A pattern commonly noticed by rural development workers in Fiji, but rarely acknowledged in the literature, is of an initial period of local activity and the promise of change which, in the longer term, slowly regresses to a slightly modified version of the old life.
Provocative Readings in Intransigent Archives: Finding Aneityumese Women
Authors: Douglas Bronwen
Published: February 2015

Anticolonialists — my past self included — tend to read colonial texts with hostile but literal eyes, assuming that colonial intentions were realised and taking at face value colonisers' representations of their own centrality for indigenous people. In such discursive settings, indigenous — especially female — agency is likely to be elided or denied. I argue instead for a reading strategy that decentres colonial representations by identifying and decoding the traces of indigenous actions and presence which are sedimented in, and surreptitiously help shape, dominant texts. Decentred, such representations are susceptible to reverse colonisation: to appropriation and exploitation in writing historical narratives which can envisage indigenous agency and naturalisation of the alien and the novel in even the most repressive colonial arenas. I illustrate the principles and method via a narrative vignette which exemplifies, interrogates and exploits demeaning missionary tropes for indigenous women in mid‐nineteenth century Aneityum, Vanuatu. The story evokes key issues in the politics of representation: the need to problematise assumptions that the discursively dominant are necessarily central in subaltern affairs; the need to dislodge the romanticism and ethnocentrism which bemoan the involvement of indigenous women in Christian domesticity, especially sewing, because it looks like submission to missionary hegemony.
