Description

SUNG MIIT--PROBLEMS OF KNOWING My first impression of researching knowledge practices in the Angkaiyakmin village of Bolivip was of being presented with a kaleidoscope of dislocated imagery. Each time an understanding seemed to be settling, my knowledge was disrupted again, and was constantly being shifted. The turns in conversation were often such that one moment my friends and I might be talking about a red parrot, then the blood spilt in a fight with Seltamanmin neighbours long ago, then a snake in a tree whose butchered lengths were unequally distributed so that Angkaiyakmin men had little success in satisfying two wives; topics appeared (and reappeared) as if from nowhere and disappeared without trace in a spray of disparate and complex details. The effect was confusing, as effective in limiting my understanding as any other technique in the repertoire anthropologists might take as 'secrecy'. I only ever seemed to have half the story.
