| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The paper examines the metaphors and dynamics of Atsabe Kemak group identity construction, with a strong emphasis on local cultural 'remembering' of Atsabe history vis-à-vis relations of power. The analysis utilizes the analytical frameworks of Foucault's notion of discourse and Bourdieu's concept of habitus. The secondary burial of a former chieftain highlights the dynamics of Atsabe Kemak responses to new nation-building processes and to international influences that have appeared during the United Nations' transitional administration. |
