For the first time since the end of World War II works are shown, which - long presumed lost in war - had actually been transported by Russian troops to Leningrad in 1945, later stored in Leipzig, and then returned to Berlin. The exhibition encompasses an area of c. 1000 sq m, in which more than 200 pieces, the majority dating from the end of the 19th century until the second World War. Included in the display are approximately 30 of the returned objects as well as 40 recent acquisitions. Museum of Ethnology

    Extractions: PAPUA NEW GUINEA ETHNOLOGY The aboriginal Negroid Papuans, who occupied most of New Guinea, differ from the modified Melanesians of its eastern shores in many aspects of social customs, arts and crafts. The Papuans are more individualistic and democratic; they live in small, independent village communities, whose leader or headman does not submit to an hereditary territorial chieftain. They lack a comprehensive understanding of a universe and its controlling gods, and thus have no priesthood; tapu, too, is of little importance to them. Examples of Papua New Guinea art Social status is of much greater significance to the Melanesians. Both in New Guinea and the islands, there are large organised men's clubs, with grades of membership acquired partly by definite accomplishments such as head-hunting, and partly by initiation fees in the form of pigs or other food for the accompanying feast. Huge club houses, adorned with all the resources of native art, are erected, and become repositories of sacred images and trophies of war. As might be expected, women and children are rigorously excluded from them. The young men, on qualifying for membership, are allocated a compartment in the house and given a recognized place in feasts and dances; they will also be permitted to wear some distinguishing badge, such as a feather crest or an elaborately carved bark belt. A duty of membership would have been to adorn their compartments, or the special rack at the front of the club house, with skulls taken from other tribes - headhunting, therefore, and general fighting and cannibalism were rife among them.

26. Dept. Of Ethnology / National Chengchi University
    On August 1, 1990, the Graduate Institute of Border Administration, under the approval of the MOE, was transformed into the Graduate Institute of ethnology.  
    http://163.28.32.200/server/publichtmut/html/w209/ew209.html
    
    Extractions: The purpose of establishment of the department is to consolidate the union of ethnic groups, enhance cultural development, facilitate the integration of ethnic groups, fulfill the spirit of the constitution, combine academic and political development, and cultivate talent. The department¡¦s study covers a extensive range, from Chinese ethnology and build a foundation for the teaching and research of this discipline, to the its advanced theories and related policies, and the study of ethnic issues around this world as well. This curriculum design not only echoes government¡¦s current policy of ¡§foothold in Taiwan, concern for Mainland China, and eyes on the world¡¨, but also broadens, deepens, and improves the quality of ethnological research. Ethnology, the discipline of ethnology, and the teaching and research of ethnology cover the knowledge in the following fields: ethnological theories, ethnological policies, history, culture, religion, spoken and written languages, law, politics, economics (resources and development), society, education, archeology, and ethnology (the study of ethnology, ethnological history, cultural anthropology, and physical anthropology). Taking conditions and resources into consideration, the department integrates the fields above and offers different levels of training and integrated knowledge to undergraduate, master and Ph.D. students, in the hope of laying foundations for students¡¦ further development.

    Extractions: Vietnam Museum of Ethnology is both a research centre and a public museum exhibiting the ethnic groups of Vietnam. The mission of the Museum is scientific research, collection, documentation, conservation, exhibition and preserving the cultural and historic patrimony of the nation’s different ethnic groups. The museum also serves to guide research, conservation, and technology that are specific to the work of an ethnographic museum. v Establishment Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country, which is composed of 54 ethnic groups. Perceiving the importance of having an ethnographic museum to preserve and present the cultural heritages of ethnic groups, the Government decided to establish a museum of ethnology in Hanoi. The Proposal for the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology was officially approved on December 14, 1987. Land was allocated for construction: in 1987, 2,500m2 and in 1988, 9,500m2. Then, in 1990, the Prime Minister decided to allocate the entire 3,27 acres of land to the Museum.

It analyzes the separate components of the relationships among humans, nature and society. Ethnology has a focus on the non-institutional aspects of culture, the culture of every day living of ordinary people in past and present times. Ethnologists study and do research about people in the past or present with field work, oral history, direct observation or modeling. Ethnologists are recording and preserving the culture of the people. Ethnologists work with the public, in write and communicate their findings to others sometimes with film or recordings or special exhibits. Ethnologists work within a specific geographic region and time period. They gather information and analyze the social, regional and historical differences and compare them with the systems of that society (religions, customs, medical practices, intellectual processes). What qualifications do Ethnologists need?

    Extractions: This work is in construction. After an introdutory discription of the situation and limits of East Timor's composing territories, we begin with a brief history that comprises the prehistoric vestiges and a historiography regarding mainly the colonial age during which the island was object of dispute between Dutch and Portuguese, and the Japanese occupation which ocurred in World War II despite the neutrality of the territory. In respect to the land there are entries about geomorfology , geology, climate flora and fauna , and finally natural resources with a call on the importance of petrol and coffee for the economy of an independent East Timor. This is followed by an approach to the ethnological background demography and the culture of the Maubere people.

The other subdivisions are physical anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. Ethnology, typically practiced by socio-cultural anthropologists, is concerned with the study of cultures in their traditional forms and in their adaptations to changing conditions in the modern world. Ethnography, the observational branch of ethnology, describes each culture, including its language, the physical characteristics of its people, its material products, and its social customs. In describing a particular tribe, for example, ethnographers gather information about its location and geographical environment. They also investigate all aspects of its culture, including food, shelter, dress, transportation, and manufacture of the tribe; its customs regarding government, property, and division of labor; its patterns of production and exchange; its customs regarding birth, adulthood initiation rites, marriage, and death; its religious ideas relating to

    Extractions: VietnamWar.com Ethnology Ethnology The scientific study of the origin and functioning of human cultures. It is usually considered one of the major branches of cultural anthropology, the other two being anthropological archaeology and anthropological linguistics. In the 19th cent. ethnology was historically oriented and offered explanations for extant cultures, languages, and races in terms of diffusion, migration, and other historical processes. In the 20th cent. ethnology has focused on the comparative study of past and contemporary cultures. Since cultural phenomena can seldom be studied under conditions of experiment or control, comparative data from the total range of human behavior helps the ethnologist to avoid those assumptions about human nature that may be implicit in the dictates of any single culture.
