Doctor of Philosophy(PhD)Menggwa Dla is a Papuan language spoken in Sandaun Province of Papua New Guinea and Kabupaten Jayapura of Papua Province, Indonesia. Menggwa Dla is a dialect of the Dla language; together with its sister language Anggor (e.g. Litteral 1980), the two languages form the Senagi language family, one of the small Papuan language families found in North-Central New Guinea. The main text of this thesis is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the linguistic, cultural and political landscapes of the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea border area where the Dla territory is located. Chapter 2 introduces the phonology of Menggwa Dla; described in this chapter are the phonemes, allophonic variations, phonotactics, morpho-phonological processes, stress assignment and intonation of the language. The inventory of phonemes in Menggwa is average for a Papuan language (15 consonants and 5 vowels). The vast majority of syllables come in the shape of V, CV or C1C2V where C2 can be /n/ /r/ /l/ /j/ or /w/. In C1C2V syllables, the sonority rises from C1 to V (§2.2.2). Nevertheless, there are a few words with word-medial consonant sequences like ft /ɸt/, lk /lk/, lf /lɸ/ or lk /lk/ where the sonority drops from the first to the second consonant; the first consonant in these sequences is analysed as the coda of the previous syllable (§2.2.3). Chapter 3 is an overview of the word classes in Menggwa Dla; the morphological, syntactic and semantic properties of the three major word classes (nouns, adjectives and verbs) and the minor word classes are compared in this chapter. Chapter 4 describes the properties of nouns and noun phrases; the person-number-gender categories, noun-phrasal syntax, nominal clitics and personal pronouns are outlined in this chapter. Menggwa Dla has a rich array of case, topic and focus markers which comes in the form of clitics (§4.5). Subject pronouns (‘citation pronouns’) only mark person (i.e. one for each of the three persons), whereas object and genitive pronouns mark person (including inclusive/exclusive first person), number, and sometimes also gender features (§4.6). Chapter 5 introduces various morphological and syntactic issues which are common to both independent and dependent clauses: verb stems, verb classes, cross-referencing, intraclausal syntax, syntactic transitivity and semantic valence. Cross-referencing in Menggwa Dla is complex: there are seven paradigms of subject cross-reference suffixes and four paradigms of object cross-references. Based on their cross-referencing patterns, verbs are classified into one of five verb classes (§5.2). There is often a mismatch between the number of cross-reference suffixes, the semantic valence, and the syntactic transitivity within a clause. There are verbs where the subject cross-reference suffix, or the object suffix, or both the subject and object suffixes are semantically empty (‘dummy cross-reference suffixes’; §5.3.2). Chapter 6 outlines the morphology of independent verbs and copulas. Verbal morphology differs greatly between the three statuses of realis, semi-realis and irrealis; a section is devoted to the morphology for each of the three statuses. Chapter 7 introduces the dependent clauses and verbal noun phrases. Different types of dependent verbs are deverbalised to various degrees: subordinate verbs are the least deverbalised, chain verbs are more deverbalised (but they mark switch-reference (SR), and sometimes also interclausal temporal relations), and non-finite chain verbs even more deverbalised. Further deverbalised than the non-finite chain verbs are the verbal nouns; verbal noun phrases in Menggwa Dla functions somewhat like complement clauses in English. In younger speakers speech, the function of the chain clause SR system has diverted from the canonical SR system used by older speakers (§7.2.2). For younger speakers, coreferential chain verb forms and disjoint-reference chain verb forms only have their coreferential and disjoint-referential meaning — respectively — when the person-number-gender features of the two subject cross-reference suffixes cannot resolve the referentiality of the two subjects. Otherwise, the coreferential chain verb forms have become the unmarked SR-neutral chain verb forms. At the end of this thesis are appendix 1, which contains four Menggwa Dla example texts, and appendix 2, which contains tables of cross-reference suffixes, pronouns, copulas and irregular verbs.

New Guinea forms the northern margin of the Australian Plate which is now characterised by a zone crustal deformation and accreted terranes. The present day configuration is the result of global tectonics in the southwestern Pacific since the Triassic. The Papuan Fold Belt is located within Papua New Guinea, the eastern half of New Guinea, and comprises deformed basement, platformal and basinal Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments. Deformation within the fold belt commenced possibly as early as Middle to Late Miocene and is currently continuing. The structure of the western part of the Papuan Fold Belt is characterised by thin skinned thrusting and basement involved structures, the latter attributed to inversion of extensional faults active in the Tertiary and the Mesozoic. Inversion is thought to have post-dated the initiation of thin skinned thrusting by approximately 5 Ma. Continued basement shortening may be due to the current high convergence rate between the Australian and Pacific Plates. The Alice Anticline formed due to inversion of a Tertiary extensional fault system. Three-dimensional restoration of the Alice Anticline makes use of a series of balanced cross-sections and is based on a line length method. Paradoxically, this restoration reveals non-plane strain in the balanced cross-sections upon which it relies. However, the restoration also reveals and quantifies a component of rotation about vertical axes which would not be obvious by application of conventional methods of structural analysis. Two transfer zones associated with the original extensional geometry acted as obstructions to deformation and have effectively pinned contractional structures during their formation causing the rotations about vertical axes. A general fracture system is developed in rocks in the Alice Anticline area. This typically comprises two sets of conjugate shear fractures and a third set, interpreted as extensional, which is sub-nonnal to the acute bisector of the two conjugate sets. Unfolding of bedding using the three-dimensional restoration results in a symmetrical geometric relationship between the general fracture system and folds. The mechanical interpretation of fractures, their geometric relationships and the timing constraints on their formation are consistent with folding. The structure of the Ok Tedi mine area is complicated by the presence of approximately syn-tectonic intrusive bodies. The development of the Parrots Beak and Taranaki Thrusts as floor and roof thrusts respectively constitutes shortening estimates in the mine area which are consistent with those determined regionally. Striation analysis of rnesoscale faults from country rocks in the mine area reveals a reduced stress tensor compatible with the regional shortening direction. Reduced stress tensors determined for the Fubilan Monzonite Porphyry are related to emplacement processes and would be consistent with development of radial and concentric fracture sets.

Thesis (PhD) -- Macquarie University, School of English and Linguistics, 1989.Bibliography: leaves 385-393.
Introduction -- Traditional Huli society -- Segmental phonology -- Prosodies -- Verbs -- Adverbials -- NominaIs -- Word complexes -- Group complexes -- Semantic patterns -- Linguistic and social change -- Texts.
This thesis describes the language of the Huli speech community of the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. The first chapter situates the speech community in its historical setting, and refers to previous, mainly non-linguistic, studies. The second chapter situates the commuity in its geographical and 'traditional' setting, recording putative migrations and dialectal variations. The third chapter describes segmental phonology at a level of detail not previously given in accounts of the language, while the fourth chapter presents a tentative exploration of prosodic features. The fifth chapter describes verbs, the sixth adverbials, and the seventh nominals: in each instance there is an emphasis on morphology and morphophonemic processes hitherto unrecorded for Huli. The eighth chapter describes word complexes, and the ninth group complexes, using a systemic-functional approach that establishes a descriptive framework that indicates useful insights into the pragmatics of the language. Chapter ten selects and explores, in varying degrees, semantic features that are typologically interesting, while chapter eleven re-focusses the thesis on sociolinguistic issues. The twelveth chapter presents a dozen texts, which it interprets and comments on in the light of linguistic and sociological descriptions presented previously. The appendices that follow give the data bases for some of the descriptions given in the thesis body. The body of the thesis is concerned with describing the language as it is being created and used by living, real, people. Hence, the language forms at each level are described and interpreted in relation to their functions in creating meaning. This has necessitated presenting in some detail phonological and morphological data that need to be described if the language is to be seen as the growing, changing expression of the living society that uses and creates it.

Relationships among the Aesthetic, culture, and music are problematic- Frequently considered as epiphenomenal to culture, music and the arts are typically seen as adjuncts to ceremonial activity- This dissertation examines the nature of the Aesthetic, music and performance in the context of the Lolo, Araigilpua Village, West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea, in an attempt to develop a definition of the Aesthetic applicable for cross-cultural research and to discover the ways in which the Aesthetic and culture articulate.
For the purposes of this dissertation, the Aesthetic is defined as that facet of religion focused on responses to extraordinary powers thought to maintain what are considered to be proper relationships between human members of a community and extraordinary powers. Three forms of aesthetics, social, performance, and musical, are taken as the means and methods of directing interactions between man and extraordinary powers.
At present, the Lolo are engaged in a process of secularisation resulting primarily from the introduction of Christianity, Western medicine and money. This dissertation examines the relationship between the Aesthetic and social life, and addresses the impact of changes to the Aesthetic.Arts, Faculty of

This thesis examines Australian news coverage of Papua New Guinea, a country with which Australia shares geographic proximity and strong historical ties. Specifically, this study examines the coverage of PNG by The Australian and The Sydney Morning Herald newspapers from January 01 until June 30, 2010. This work aims to demonstrate that PNG is a neglected news region. This neglect – in terms of quality reporting – has produced a limited and fragmentary portrayal of PNG in the Australian media. In this context, this study observes that the majority of news stories about PNG tend to lack analysis and contextual background. By examining the process of news framing and news values, this thesis suggests that the disproportionate emphasis on events associated with crime, chaos, disaster, and corruption has constructed PNG as a fragile, suffering and dependent society. The key methodologies used in this thesis are content analysis, and indepth interviews with a selected number of Australian journalists currently or previously based in PNG. The thesis forms part of a much broader examination of the changing trends in international news coverage of developing countries, particularly the Asia-Pacific.

The relationship between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea has been significantly
affected by problems associated with the border between them. This has not been a
dispute about the boundary itself. There is a line on the map which the two countries
have agreed to accept Rather, the border problem which has arisen between the two
countries concerns an independence movement called the ‘Organisasi Papua Merdeka’
(Free Papua Movement - OPM) which since 1963 has been active against Indonesia and
has repeatedly crossed the border to seek refuge in neighbouring Papua New Guinea;
incursions in Papua New Guinea by the Indonesian military in pursuit of the OPM; and
thousands of Irian Jayan refugees who have crossed the border to seek sanctuary in
Papua New Guinea. Since Papua New Guinea’s independence in 1975 the border problem has intensified,
especially in 1984 when an uprising in Jayapura resulted in an influx of 12,(XX) refugees
into Papua New Guinea territory. This heightened security concerns in the two
countries. For Jakarta, the refugees could become bases for the OPM to threaten
Indonesia’s security; for Papua New Guinea on the other hand, there were concerns
about possible Indonesian border incursions in an attempt to destroy the OPM.

This dissertation examines the ways in which a Papua New Guinean people, the Maisin of Collingwood Bay in Oro Province, have over the years responded to and appropriated a version of Christianity brought to them by Anglican missionaries. The Maisin treat Christianity not as a foreign imposition, but as an integral part of their total religious conceptions, activities and experiences.
Almost a century of documented Maisin history reveals a consistency related to what is here called a "social ideology": a complex formed by idioms of asymmetry between senior and junior kin and allies, equivalence in exchanges between a range of social categories of persons, and complementarity between the sexes. Extensions of the social ideology to the developments of the post-contact society are explored in the contexts of a growing dependence on money and commodities, unequal access to education and jobs, large-scale out-migration, the material requirements of the local church, and church regulations concerning social behaviour.
The social ideology is also extended to sorcerers, ancestral ghosts, bush spirits, and Christian divinities. The analysis shows that Maisin experience indigenous and Christian elements as realities that exist within a single religious field.
Working from the premise that religion is an aspect of the people's total experience and not a separate cultural institution or sub-system, the thesis explores the modes by which the Maisin create and discover coherence between the various elements within the religious field. The most important points and occasions of religious coherence are those in which the moral precepts of the social ideology are joined with conceptions of spiritual entities towards the explanation and resolution of problems. Three "religious precipitates", as these moments of coherence are termed, are analysed: the village church, healing practices, and death rites.
A major finding of this study is that Maisin articulate their assumptions about local sorcerers, ghosts, and spirits within idioms of conflict between kin and affinal groupings, but speak of God, Christ and the church as symbols of community solidarity. The village church is analysed as a point of convergence of the social ideology, economic aspirations, memories of past interactions with missionaries, and Christian teachings and forms. The primary religious importance of the church is as a condensed symbol of communitas that transcends the inherited divisions of the social order and the contradictions of present political and economic conditions.Arts, Faculty of

Since 2001 the Muslim population of Papua New Guinea (PNG) has increased by over 500 percent as a result of religious conversions by indigenous Papua New Guineans. The spike in Islamic conversions in this largely Christian nation has coincided with a period of increased Islamic missionary activity, and a rise in media coverage on Muslims following the attacks by Islamic extremists on September 11, 2001. This thesis analyses the growth of Islam in PNG and seeks to determine whether the growing Muslim population is likely to have an impact on the security environment. This research also contributes to a very small body of literature which seeks to understand potential security risks posed by Muslim converts (as opposed to born Muslims). Since 1950 Islamic minorities have been engaged in more internal conflicts than any other type of religious or non-religious minority. The conversion of non-Muslims to Islam is a key strategy employed by Islamic extremists to recruit new members who can be engaged in radicalism across the globe. In the last decade the number of converts involved with radical and militant Islamic networks has noticeably increased. In addition, PNG borders Indonesia, a country that houses the world's largest population of Muslims and is home to a number of activist, radical and extremist Islamic groups. Based on five months of fieldwork during which I lived among Muslim communities in urban and rural regions of PNG, I examined the empirical foundations of Islam's growth to write what is the first comprehensive history of the establishment and institutionalisation of Islam in PNG. Taking an interdisciplinary approach and using interview data and fieldwork observations, I applied knowledge from the religious conversion and security studies literatures to analyse the causes and processes of Islamic conversion in PNG. This approach enabled new insights into which factors of conversion may subsequently influence the radicalisation of converts and affect security in PNG the Pacific region, and globally.

This study describes the resource management practices of a rural community located in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. Lababia, a community of 500 people, is located in a coastal rainforest environment and is dependant for its livelihood on swidden agriculture and fishing. Lababia is also the site of an integrated conservation and development project facilitated by a non-governmental organisation based in a nearby urban centre.The key resources on which Lababia depends are managed as the common property of either the village-as-a-whole or the various kin groups resident in the village, and for that reason common property theory has been used to inform the design of the research project and the analysis and interpretation of research results. However, the social foundations of resource management systems and the influence of external factors, commodity markets in particular, are not adequately represented in some of the more widely used analytical frameworks developed by common property theorists. These factors are of fundamental importance to the Lababia commons because of the many social, political and economic changes that have occurred there over the last century. For that reason the Lababia commons is referred to as a commons-in-transition .
Ethnographic and historical analysis, informed by common property theory, is used to develop a description of the property rights system existing at Lababia and resource management practices in the key sectors of fishing and agriculture. The management of forest resources is described on the basis of a comparison with Kui, a nearby village that, unlike Lababia, has allowed industrial logging activities on their lands. The impact of the conservation and development project on village life is also assessed and the study concludes by developing an analytical framework suitable to the Lababia commons and one that facilitates the development of policy appropriate to the planning of sustainable development projects generally and conservation and development projects in particular.

This thesis examines the role of mobile telephony in rural communities in Papua New Guinea (PNG). It is a threshold study which reports on research conducted in the earliest stages of mobile phone adoption in these areas. It explores the ways in which this new technology changes people’s lives, social structures and relationships. The research focuses on non-urban communities, which previously had little or no access to modern communication technologies, but which are in some cases still using traditional forms of communication such as drums. It has found that the introduction of mobile telecommunications has generally been viewed positively, although several negative concerns have been strongly felt. Specific benefits related to enhanced communication with relatives and friends living away from home villages, and use of the technology in time-critical emergencies or crises. Difficulties have arisen with respect to the cost of owning and operating a handset, as well as financial and logistical challenges when recharging handset batteries, particularly in areas with no mains electricity supply. Perceived damaging effects of mobile phone access related to sex, crime and pornography.
The changes taking place are described through a social lens, by foregrounding the perceptions of villagers. The perspectives of key informants, such as telecommunication company managers, are also discussed. Employing the technique of triangulation (using different methods and sources) has helped to validate the findings of the research project. The sources constantly overlap and agree on the main themes, such as those outlined above.
PNG is a developing country which performs poorly on a wide range of development indicators. A large majority of the people live outside of the major towns and cities. It is therefore worthwhile investigating the introduction of mobile phone technology in rural areas. These areas often have poor access to services, including transport, health, education and banking. Until 2007, communities in such regions fell outside of mobile phone coverage areas. In the case of all ten villages discussed in this thesis, there has never been any landline telephone infrastructure available. Therefore, this research on mobile phones is in effect documenting the first ever access to any kind of phone in these communities.
This research makes a unique contribution to knowledge about the role of communication in PNG, and has implications for policy, practice and theory. In the policy arena, the thesis aids understanding of the impact which communication sector competition and regulation can have on rural and relatively isolated communities. There are three practical problems which have emerged from the research: cost, battery recharging difficulties and breakage are all major obstacles to uptake and use of mobile telephony in rural communities. Efforts to reduce usage costs, enable easier recharging, and design more robust handsets would allow for increased utilisation of mobile phones for a range of purposes. With respect to the realm of theory, this research sits amongst the most recent scholarship in the mobile phone field, located within the broader communication theory area. It recommends cautionary reading of any literature which suggests that mobile phones will reduce poverty and increase incomes in poor, rural communities in developing countries. Nonetheless, the present research adds weight to mobile phone studies which suggest that the primary advantages of mobile phones in such settings are for the satisfactions of communication of itself, and for social interaction among loved ones.

On 14th March 1993, Papua New Guinea's then Prime Minster, Mr
Wingti announced the formation of a National Law, Order and Justice Council.
Replacing all existing law and order committees, the new council was to be the
sole coordinator of law and order issues. Mr Wingti noted that in the past
there had been 'too many committees and too little action on the law and order
question' (Post-Courier, 15 March, 1993). His predecessor, Mr Namaliu,
instructed a previous Crime Summit, 'To come up with constructive and even
radical solutions to the crime problems which are crippling the country ...
crime is like a cancer, eating away at the very heart and lifeblood of our
society ... a threat to economic stability and progress' (Post-Courier, 12
February, 1991). Numerous state enquiries have been instigated in response to
a law and order situation that is perceived to interfere with the development of
the country and the quality of life of its people. Problems have been restated,
recommendations remade and sometimes draconian measures proposed. Yet
in both official and informal circles it is believed that the situation is
deteriorating. Scholarly journals and government reports, editorial comment
and letters to the editor, frequently express concern about the 'break-down' of
law and order.

This thesis is an investigation of recent prehistoric cranial
variation in Papua New Guinea. It presents for the first time metric,
non-metric and anatomical data recorded on crania from the Central
Highlands and Highlands Fringe regions, as well as data for a number
of regions from the North and South Coasts. The majority of the data
have been recorded in the field from skeletal remains located in
ossuaries. Supplementary data from a number of museum collections -isalso
presented.
Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses of the metric
data indicate that the populations of the Central Highlands and
Highlands Fringe have been biologically isolated from coastal and
lowland regions for a substantial period of time. The demonstration
of craniometric homogeneity throughout the Central Highlands further
indicates an original genetic unity for these populations. Factors of
craniometric size and shape are both identified as contributing to the
morphological pattern throughout Papua New Guinea, and it is shown
that extraction of significant environmental effects clarifies the
assessment of phylogenetic relationships. The potential for a
cultural component in the morphological pattern of the Papuan Gulf is
also raised.

The Mount Fubilan Intrusion is part of a geologically young hypabyssal stock in the Star Mountains of Papua New Guinea. This stock was mapped as the Ok Tedi Intrusive Complex and divided into four separate bodies: the Mount Fubilan, Sydney Intrusion, Kalgoorlie, and Ningi Intrusions. Hydrothermal fluids caused alteration of the Mount Fubilan, and parts of the other intrusions, to potassic and propylitic mineral assemblages and deposited gold and copper.
This investigation documents similarities and differences between the least-altered intrusive rocks of the complex and those that have undergone potassic metasomatism. The study involved detailed petrographic examination of more than two hundred thin-sections, major-oxide and trace element chemistry, and microprobe analyses of individual minerals. The magmas that crystallized to form the stock are shown to be intermediate in composition between andesite and latite. They were quartz-saturated, metaluminous, weakly iron-rich, and crystallized under oxidizing conditions. The principal mineral phases in the least-altered intrusive rocks are andesine, pyroxene, orthoclase, and quartz. The accessory mineral suite in least-altered rocks includes biotite, sphene, apatite, magnetite, and zircon.
Hornblende is present in a few samples Magmatic pyroxene is diopsidic in composition; hornblendes is cdenitic; and biotite is annitic. Potassic alteration has converted andesine to orthoclase, or mixtures of albite and orthoclase, ferro magnesian minerals to hydrothermal biotite, sphene to rutile, and magnetite to pyrite and chalcopyrite. Hydrothermal biotite is phlogopitic in composition. Gold and copper were concentrated in the zone of potassic alteration.
The mineralogical transformation of the intrusive rocks of the Mount Fubilan and associated intrusions was caused by the infiltration of hydrothermal fluids that deposited potassium, gold, and copper and that leached and removed virtually all other rock constituents. Leached components were transported away from the zone of potassic alteration and deposited in peripheral parts of the intrusive complex to form propylites, endoskarn, and massive replacement bodies or removed from the system entirely.
The Mount Fubilan intrusion was closely similar in chemistry and mineralogy to the other intrusions of the complex prior to alteration. Petrochemical differences between the Mount Fubilan Intrusion and the other intrusions were produced entirely by hydrothermal alteration.Graduation date: 2000

This thesis draws upon existing bodies of work on 'culture change', 'exchange' and 'person' in Melanesia but brings them together in a new way. In the anthropological debate, culture change has often been discussed in relation to understandings of 'development' involving the reproduction and transformation of cultural categories according to an indigenous understanding of exchange and agency. My research suggests that culture change as it is taking place in Bena, Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea, can best be understood when the model of agentive culture change, first proposed by Sahlins, is conjoined with the theoretical approach of the 'new Melanesian ethnography', especially with Marilyn Strathern's work on agency and personhood. Here, agency is understood in terms of dividuality, partible personhood, composite persons and the decomposition or deconception of persons in exchange. In Bena, the partibility of person is reflected in the perception that every exchange involves personal de- and attachments of an 'essence' called 'nogoya'a' (nurturance). Phillip Newman who worked among a neighbouring group, the Gururumba, found a strikingly similar concept. Unfortunately, his findings have so far been neglected in anthropological literature on Melanesia. This thesis attempts to fill this gap. It reveals how Newman's ethnographic data on 'vital essence' in Gururumba help to clarify the Bena idea of personal partibility expressed in the concept of exchanging personal parts of 'nogoya'a'. In doing so, it provides an insight into the way in which the particular notion of interpersonal exchange in Bena ties in with agentive forms of culture change and explains how the process of merging (or rejecting) elements from other cultures is shaped by the specific Bena understanding of exchange and person. This thesis suggests that culture change in Bena can best be understood as culture ex-change, with exchange being grasped in Bena terms as an ideally reciprocal, nurturing and strengthening flow of vital essence between partible exchange partners.

Gardens of Basima is an anthropological study of a previously undescribed village
society in eastern Fergusson Island, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. The
thesis is therefore a contribution to the ethnographic map of the Massim. It focuses
particularly on the social organisation, land tenure, and complex mortuary exchanges
of Basima, a matrilineal society with many social and cultural institutions in
common with its more famous and powerful Dobuan neighbours. The people of
Basima are locally renown for their betelnut, their pigs, and the products of their yam
gardens, for which traders from other islands come to barter. However, despite their
location on an important Kula trade route between the Amphletts Islands and the
Dobu area, Basima people are only very marginally involved in ceremonial Kula
exchanges. The main contention of this thesis is that, being a society composed largely of
immigrant matrilineal descent groups, Basima displays a less 'uncompromising' form
of matriliny than had been described for other societies in the region. Structurally, it
is highly adaptable. As manifested in clan and matrilineage membership, in patterns
of settlement, in marriage and post-marital residence, and not least, as manifested in
the man-land relationships of land tenure, the flexibility of Basima society is evident.
This is by no means a recent phenomenon indicating a 'breakdown' of some ideal
system, but rather an integral property of an adaptive system which loosely unifies a
diverse collection of immigrant groups.
An important focus of the thesis is the obligatory and optional mortuary feasts and
exchanges (principally bwabwale and sagali) so common in the matrilineal Massim.
While Basima variants of these feasts show structural similarities to those of their
neighbours they also reveal some significant differences. Notwithstanding an
ostensible sequential ordering of such feasts, Basima people see them as discrete
events motivated and staged by their performers to achieve primarily secular
objectives. Sagali in particular, while nominally a feast that honours the collective
dead, is sponsored principally by men to achieve renown. In other words, the main
premise of sagali is political not eschatological. Likewise, the principles of Basima
of customary land tenure are ultimately subject to political manipulation.

This study examines the interaction between the politics of a Papua New Guinea
Highlands society, the Simbu, and the colonially introduced state. It does so by
analysing patterns of political competition in a study of dynamic change in four major
stages, the precolonial, the colonial, decolonizing and post-colonial periods. In order to
analyse this interaction, it seeks to answer the basic questions about politics - how people
gain power and become politicians, how they maintain power once they have it, and
whether the answers to these questions have differed in these time periods.
In particular, it examines the extent to which indigenous social structures,
ideologies and political techniques are used in the new state structures, and thus the
degree to which the introduced institutions have been adapted by the Simbu. The
interaction between indigenous, precolonial institutions and the state and its conventions
are revealed by a study of the ideologies used in the Simbu political world.
In the different political arenas which existed in the different time periods quite
distinct talents have been displayed and appeals made. The Simbu ideologies of the
solidarity of clans which have strong, hereditary leaders are used selectively according to
the context. The aggressive battlefield leader of precolonial times was not appropriate in
the enforced peace of the colonial era, but was revived in the insecure period of
decolonization. Ideologies of the manipulation of wealth being the basis for prestige,
power and influence were expanded upon in the colonial context, and have been further
adapted in the post-colonial context to justify the use of massive financial and other
resources in attempting to build personalised followings on a large scale. The ideology of
the leader as a man of knowledge is also claimed by some. All these claims have at
different times had some appeal and contributed to the search for bases of power, but no
single model of Simbu leadership and society is applicable. The elements of this variety
of political models can be found in the adaptivity of Simbu tradition.
Simbu ideologies of solidarity are regularly expressed in bloc voting patterns by
clans, tribes and sometimes whole language groups, and in the clan warfare which
resumed in the late colonial period. The techniques and strategies of precolonial
leadership, of the leader using resources from one sphere in another and gaining prestige
from this interstitial role, are reinvented in many contexts in the contemporary state of
PNG. These processes are demonstrated in numerous case studies of the transitional
politics from precolonial Simbu to the contemporary period, with particular focus on the
decade straddling the Independence of Papua New Guinea, and the creation of an elected
provincial government. Political competition and voter responses are analysed in the
context of three national and one provincial election, and the struggles for control of the
area's coffee industry.
Despite the different scale of the political arenas explored in different time periods,
and the rapid increases in the political resources available, the political techniques and
stategies of Simbu remained essentially the same* There are also continuities in political
beliefs and the range of concepts found within Simbu's variegated political models.
Despite the political changes, there has been continuity in Simbu's political culture.
Simbu values have been used within the introduced state, just as resources from the
state have been used within indigenous structures competition and conflicts. The process
is thus one of interpenetration, with the state co-opted into Simbu political competition.
