Androgynous Objects: String Bags and Gender in Central New Guinea (Studies in Anthropology and History) Book

Androgynous Objects explores the way meaning is encoded in material culture by focusing on the androgynous symbolism of the looped string bag, or bilum, of the Telefol people of Central New Guinea. The web of meanings ''woven'' into the string bag is shown to extend beyond women's lives and bodies.
