This article considers the case for synthetic historiesâbroad narratives of historical process that critically combine the insights and perspectives of research from multiple disciplines. Drawing on the 28 contributions to the edited volume Papuan Pasts, on the deep history of the Papuan peoples, a brief synthesis of findings is offered in the form of a narrative. This enables the identification of a series of gaps, not just in the spatial and temporal coverage of research but also in the range of perspectives employed. The absence of Papuan voices is particularly challenging, and suggests that the future of Papuan histories lies in the closer articulation of a concern for deep time and questions of the genesis and immediate past of living Papuan communities.View full textDownload full textKEYWORDSanthropological holism, austronesian, historical synthesis, multi-disciplinary inquiry, PapuanRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00938157.2010.524865

机译:本文考虑了综合历史的情况,即对历史过程的广泛叙述,这些叙述严格地结合了来自多个学科的研究的见解和观点。根据对编辑的《巴布亚往事》的28篇贡献,根据巴布亚人民的深厚历史,以叙述的形式简要总结了发现的内容。这不仅可以在研究的空间和时间范围上,而且可以在所采用的观点范围内,确定一系列差距。缺少Papuan的声音尤其具有挑战性,这表明Papuan历史的未来在于更深入地表达对更深层次的关注以及对现存的Papuan社区的起源和近期过去的疑问。查看全文下载全文关键字人类学整体主义,南斯拉夫语系,历史综合,多学科查询,PapuanRelated var addthis_config = {ui_cobrand:“泰勒和弗朗西斯在线”,servicescompact:“ citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,更多”,pubid: “ ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b”};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00938157.2010.524865
