500 |a Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) was born and educated in Vienna, gaining a PhD in anthropology from the University of Vienna in 1931. A grant from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled him to study at the London School of Economics, under the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. In 1936, he went to the Naga Hills in northeast India for his first fieldwork; over the next four decades, he worked extensively in south & central India, northeast India and Nepal. In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Anthropology at SOAS, where he established the Department of Anthropology. During his career, he published seventeen books, most of them ethnographies of tribal cultures. He was President of the Royal Anthropological Institute (1975-77) and a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology.

520 3 |a During the Myoko festival (late March to mid-April), Apatanis used to perform acrobatics, swinging on a thick cane rope tied to two tall poles. These poles, cut from hardwood and approximately 15-20 metres, are erected on or near a ritual platform in the village playing host to other villages during the festival. Although most of the high-flyers were men, women also enjoyed the fun. This woman appears to be applauding or watching others swinging above her. The acrobatics are still performed, though not as frequently as in the past.
