Abstract

AbstractA review of definitions of style and studies of particular people suggest that while many studies of art discuss iconography, social relationships, structure, identity, form, function, and so on, few discuss style; and fewer discuss style as world view, ethos, values, or gestalt. In this paper,Ireport some findings of field work in the arts and cultures ofNewIreland andNewHanover in support of research in cultural anthropology on style in this larger sense. I will provide some documentation for ‘theNative's point of view’ on this subject, which affirms its importance in any study of culture.
