Weiner conducted anthropological research amongst the Foi people in Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. This book contains the transcriptions, translations, and descriptions of the songs he recorded. The texts of women's sago songs (obedobora), men's ceremonial songs (sorohabora), and women's sorohabora are included. Men turn the prosaic content of womeni?s sago songs into their own sorohabora songs, which are performed the night following large-scale inter-community pig kills, called dawa. While women sing sago songs by themselves, men sing their ceremonial songs in groups of paired men. Women also have their own ceremonial versions of such songs. The songs are memorial in intent; they are designed to commemorate the lives of men who are no longer living. Most commonly they do so by naming the places the deceased inhabited during his lifetime. These song texts and translations are introduced by Weiner. Ethnomusicologist Don Niles then brings together information about each type of song and considers these Foi genres in relation to those of neighbouring groups, highlighting aspects of regional performance styles. Consideration is also given to the poetic devices used in Papua New Guinea songs. Eighteen recordings illustrating the Foi genres discussed in this book are available for download. It remains uncertain how such songs may be affected by the major oil extraction project that has been undertaken in the region for more than two decades. This book will interest students of anthropology, ethnomusicology, linguistics, verbal art, aesthetics, and cultural heritage 410 0$aMonographs in anthropology series. 606 $aFoi (Papua New Guinean people) 606 $aFoi (Papua New Guinean people)$vMusic 606 $aEthnomusicology$zPapua New Guinea 606 $aFolk music$zPapua New Guinea 607 $aPapua New Guinea$vSongs and music 610 $afoi 610 $apapua new guinea 610 $aethnomusicology 610 $aanthropology 610 $aBamboo 610 $aBird 610 $aEye Eye 610 $aFasu language 610 $aIowa 610 $aKaluli people 610 $aLonghouse 610 $aSago 615 0$aFoi (Papua New Guinean people). 615 0$aFoi (Papua New Guinean people) 615 0$aEthnomusicology 615 0$aFolk music 676 $a995.0049912 700 $aWeiner$b James F.$0968389 702 $aNiles$b Don 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131647003321 996 $aSongs of the empty place$92199421 997 $aUNINA
