One of the significant writers in the orbit of ethnoastronomy is Anthony Aveni, an astronomer who teaches/taught at Colgate where, also, Gary Urton taught until he became a Certified Genius and was thus bought by Harvard. But transcending my own work, though becoming a stimulant to it, was the rise of “ethnoastronomy” in the 1960s for which, eventually, Leach’s paper became pivotal. My worked picked up on it, but unfortunately no other Massim ethnographer has to date. It is very symptomatic of its time, was almost immediately criticized by L Austen, who had been a Resident Magistrate on the Trobriand Islands in the 1930s and who took very seriously Malinowski’s writings and strictures…Together the two left an exceedingly interesting ethnographic puzzle and problem.

The general parameters of graduate student final papers should be defined by the end of the course’s first part. Graduate students will be responsible for producing 2-3 page summaries of all major texts in the course and meet as a group with Damon every other week (tba). What are the differences between these scales and kinds of societies? While for the undergraduates the course closes with a comparative study of US temporal constructs, graduate students are expected to engage in their own area-specific inquiry while participating in the undergraduate discussion. We will sample classic discussions of spatial-temporal orientations in small and large, “pre-modern” and “modern” societies. We will consider both internalized conceptions of time and space and the ways an analyst might view space and time as external factors orientating a society’s existence. This course samples the anthropological discussion of the ways social systems have configured spatial/temporal orders.
