| 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 These Apatani men are sitting on a ritual platform, probably on a sunny day in November : they wear their hair in the traditional style knot with a skewer, and they wear also the traditional cane belt, visible on the man to the right : a ritual platform consists of hardwood planks raised up on thick wooden posts : Each of the many Apatani clans owns or owns jointly with other clans, their own platform which is situated in its quarter of a village : as a rare public space in these densely populated villages, it is used primarily for ritual events, especially the Murung (Feast of Merit) festival : today, the wood is being replaced by concrete slabs and posts : In this photograph, we also see the tall babo pole, the thickest of them visible, in the background : approximately 15-20 metres tall, these poles are erected on or near a ritual platform in the village playing host to other villages during the Myoko festival : Smaller poles are also put up on the porch of every house in which a boy was born in the three years since that village last hosted the festival : the bamboo and thatch piled on the platform suggests that the roof a house is being re-thatched. | |
