\"Event<\/p>\n

Anthropologist Rupert Stasch will give the 54th annual Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture, \u201cDramas of Otherness: \u2018First Contact\u2019 Tourism in New Guinea,\u201d which explores the similarities\u00a0in the exoticizing stereotypes that tourists and Korowai people create about each other.<\/p>\n

The tree house-dwelling Korowai people live on the island of New Guinea in Indonesian Papua. Since 1990 they have been visited by over 50 film crews and thousands of tourists who are motivated by the idea that the Korowai are a \u201cStone Age society” living outside of global markets and history.<\/p>\n

Stasch, a social anthropologist at the University of Cambridge, has worked for more than two decades among the Korowai people. His study, which draws on ethnographic research with tourists, guides, reality television crews, and the Korowai themselves, looks at what happens in actual social interactions between Korowai people and tourists. He finds that their interactions are highly patterned, and that the different participants care greatly about the others and are affected intensely by their encounters. At the same time, Stasch says, each group profoundly miscomprehends many aspects of the others\u2019 experiences.<\/p>\n

The October 19 lecture will be held at 7 p.m. in Lander Auditorium of Hutchison Hall on the University\u2019s River Campus. The talk is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

The Morgan Lecture Series<\/a> honors the memory of Lewis Henry Morgan, the distinguished 19th-century anthropologist and Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ benefactor. The lecture has been presented annually since 1963. It is one of the oldest and most prestigious lecture series in anthropology in North America. Duke University Press will publish a book based on Stasch\u2019s lecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
