“…In his major ethnography of 1922, based on fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands beginning in 1915, Malinowski laid considerable emphasis on having done participant observation (Malinowski : passim ), to the effect that he is popularly thought of as the first to conduct fieldwork in such a manner. Landtman () did not describe his own, earlier, research among the Kiwai in the same terms, but there is now little doubt that he conducted fieldwork in the fashion whose provenance has been credited to Malinowski (see Lawrence ).…”

This article is driven by the equivocal possibility of doing analytic justice to the cosmo‐ontology of the Motu‐Koita, of Papua New Guinea, as it was when early missionaries and colonial officers credited south‐east‐coastal indigenes only with unsystematized beliefs and superstitions about invisible forces. It focuses on an incident in which traditional ‘sorcerers’ were put to the test by the early colonial administration, which was trying to destroy local beliefs in sorcery. By interrogating the discursive stereotypes brought to this episode by the administration, and problematizing the translation and understanding of some Motu‐Koita terminology, it attempts some first steps toward a more nuanced understanding of the pre‐European‐contact lifeworld of the Motu‐Koita.

antropologie na papui-noVÉ guineJi: historie a souVislosti ABSTRAKT Předmětem studie je analýza dějin antropologie v Melanésii se zvláštním přihlédnutím k oblasti dnešního nezávislého státu Papua-Nová Guinea. Autor věnuje pozornost vývoji antropologických výzkumů na Papui v období od poslední třetiny 19. století do šedesátých let 20. století. Rozlišuje tři hlavní fáze antropologických výzkumů v této kulturní oblasti: fáze prvního kontaktu v 19. století, přípravná fáze od přelomu století do poloviny dvacátých let a zlatý věk od poloviny dvacátých let do šedesátých let 20. století. Autor hájí tezi, že výzkumy uskutečněné na Papui zásadním způsobem přispěly k rozvoji teorie a metodologie antropologie a formovaly její dnešní povahu.
