| 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 This young mithun is tethered to the back porch of an Apatani house, where it will be killed as part of a ritual : the altar, where the sacrifice will take place, is the low, wooden structure, with a bamboo pole, decorated with shavings, visible behind the animal's head : Standing on the porch above the animal, a crowd has gathered : In the centre, to the right of the pole is the shaman : although the context is unclear, the ritual is probably a minor version of the Murung (Feast of Merit), known as subu taniin, which sometimes occurs in March, when this photograph was taken : the narrow space between houses is typical of the densely populated villages that were an adaptation to the local environment : Devoting every available metre of land to wet-rice agriculture, Apatanis lived in crowded settlements, narrow houses and nuclear families. | |
