Cultural Development of Mathematical Ideas: Papua New Guinea

Drawing upon field studies conducted in ,and with a remote Papua New Guinea group,the Oksapmin,Geoffrey Saxe traces the emergence of new forms of numerical representations and ideas in the social history of the community. In traditional life,the Oksapmin used a 27-body-part counting system,and there is no evidence that Oksapmin used arithmetic in prehistory. With shifting practices of economic exchange and schooling,children and adults unwittingly reproduce and alter the system as they

An analysis of class development in Papua New Guinea

An analysis of class development in Papua New Guinea: This essay will outline the process of class formation within Papua New Guinea (PNG) and show that, although its developments are unique to the region, they are in line with the general capitalist trend of class development. This will be done by outlining a general definition of class in relation to Marxist ideology and then applying this viewpoint to the historical development of PNG in relation to capitalism and class formation. It will show the major influence that the middle class had in the promotion of class identity, particularly normalising class differences. The essay ends with a reflection on middle class values in PNG and how they influence, but are nevertheless, part of the adaptive nature of capitalism. It is concluded that from a Marxist perspective, understanding class formation in PNG is tantamount to understanding class theory in general.

For the most part,these rituals have been understood as all-male institutions,intended to maintain and legitimate male domination. Women's exclusion from the forest space where men conducted most such rites has been taken as a sign of their exclusion from the entire ritual pr
