| 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 Fire-walking, or actually walking over hot ashes, is part of a large festival that takes place each year in the Udupi and South Kannada districts. It demonstrates the efficacy of the deity's power, as the walker claims to be protected by it. The festival is held at a shrine or a temple dedicated to local deities, many of whom are deified humans. The centrepiece is the dance of the medium who impersonates the deity and speaks to the crowd. He is seen here in the left foreground, with his back to the camera and dressed in a costume of palm leaves. The patrons are Bunts and Billivas, and the perfomers come from three castes: Nalke, Pambada and Parava. | |
