Abstract

As a colonial legacy of European imperialism, ethnography is historically obsessed with the field in Indigenous cultures, including Melanesia, Africa, and South America, but often overlooking Asian cultures. From Benjamin Lee Whorf or Claude Levi Strauss onwards, anthropology and ethnography have widely recognized the importance of time, and it is safe to say that the meaning of time varies on culture and social background. The sixth chapter by editors Paolo Fortis and Sussane Küchler compares Amerindian and Melanesian culture and how cycles of life and death articulate human biography. [Extracted from the article]
