SUMMARY:Hierarchy and Egalitarianism in Austronesia/Oceania
DESCRIPTION:\n	An International Conference organized by Prof. Ku Kun-hui (N
 THU)\, co-sponsored by the Harvard-Yenching Institute and National Tsing 
 Hua University\, Taiwan\n\n\n	There is a long tradition on the theme of hi
 erarchy and egalitarianism in Austronesia region\, and current revived rev
 ision of the topic: chief and big man model\, great man model\, big shot\,
  concept of precedence\, recent re-examination of chief in Pacific\, and r
 eevaluation of Dumont’s model of hierarchy and its applicability in Paci
 fic societies\, and so on. Taiwan has been considered an important point o
 f Austronesian expansion yet few anthropological theorizing on Austronesia
 n social formations takes into consideration of Indigenous Taiwan Austrone
 sian situations. In this workshop\, we intend to re-assess these (old and 
 new) models ethnographically\, and ask how these models inform our work an
 d how our ethnographic materials contest or enhance these analytical frame
 works by interrogating closely the dynamics between theory and field pheno
 mena across the board. This workshop continues with previous informal sess
 ions at ASAO on the theme and intends to combine the expertise from differ
 ent regions of Austronesian world (Taiwan\, Southeast Asia\, Oceania and M
 adagascar) for comparative perspectives to form a fresh contribution to th
 e topic.
