	Roger Keesing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Professor Roger Martin Keesing (16 May 1935 – 7 May 1993) was a linguist and anthropologist, noted for his fieldwork on the Kwaio people of Malaita in the Solomon Islands, and his writings on a wide range of topics including kinship, religion, politics, history, cognitive anthropology and language.
		Keesing studied at Stanford and Harvard and began work in 1965 at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
		Keesing died suddenly of a heart attack in 1993, and his ashes were transferred to the Solomon Islands, where the families of his Kwaio associates accord him the status of an andalo or ancestral spirit.

	Kwaio Religion; The Living and the Dead in a Solomon Island Society; Roger Keesing
		Drawing on fieldwork carried out over a lost 20 years, Keesing explores the phenomenological reality of world where one's group includes the living and the dead, where conversations with the spirits, and the sing of their presence and acts, are very much a part of everyday life.
		Keesing situates the elegant though largely implicit structures of Kwaio cosmology within a framework of the "political economy of knowledge," examining the distribution of expertise in the community and the uses of religion as ideology, and asking how symbolic systems are perpetuated and changed.
		Roger Keesing is professor and head of the department of anthropology at the Australian National University in Canberra.

		So too the late Roger Keesing (1994:307) notes the relevance of cultural nationalism, rooted in ethnic and folk traditions during the rise of nation-states in Europe.
		Keesing (1994:161p;162), in one of his last writings, gets to the core of the problem when he emphasizes the politics of the concept of culture, referring to hegemony; the framing of culture by fundamentally dominant groups:
		Keesing does not mean to indicate that all contemporary anthropology is committed to the "portrayal of exotic cultural alterity" (1993:306), but he is drawing attention to the innocent or naive side of anthropology and a lingering cultural concept that implies a consensual, collective, coherent, integrated and rather stationary character.

		Note from your teachers: This is a wonderful essay in many respects, but we are asking you to read it mainly because of what it has to say about the essentialist vs.constructionist debate about the nature of culture.
		The second point, which has emerged partly through studies of language and conventional metaphor but has much wider implications, is the degree to which the embodiedness of cultural experience is turning out to be critical.
		I have recently written (Keesing and Jolly 1992) on the way anthropological characterizations of Melanesia, where I mainly work, persistently edit out Christianity, trade stores, labor migration, contemporary politics, and cash economy, exoticizing and essentializing "traditional culture" as it ostensibly survives in hinterland villages.

		Keesing was also committed to the belief that students should not merely memorize terms and theories, but should also be challenged to ponder the deep questions raised by human diversity.
		In this revision, Dr. Strathern preserved Keesing's vision, arguments, and the ethnographies presented as illustrations of Keesing's theories, while also examining each sentence to determine whether its assertions needed to be updated, modified, or abandoned.

		He believes that anthropology's goal should be to generate deeper interpretations of diverse cultural phenomena, using what he calls "thick description", rather than attempting to prove or disprove scientific laws.
		Cultural anthropologist Roger M. Keesing argues that what native peoples in the Pacific now accept as "traditional culture" is largely an invented and idealized vision of their past.
		Hawaiian activist and scholar Haunani-Kay Trask asserts that Keesing's critique is fundamentally flawed because he only uses Western documents--and native peoples have oral traditions, genealogies, and other historical sources that are not reflected in Western historical documents.
