Body, names and movement : images of identity among the Yolnu of North-East Arnhem Land

The importance of body imagery is examined in the kinship system; features of the landscape; the process of naming and the power of names; the formation of personal and group identities, political outlook and emotional bonds; the behaviour and creation of the ancestors; and in the re-creation of ancestral space and movement in mortuary ceremonies, song and dance. Song and dance are shown to be vital to the "visualisation" of social relations, and to the inheritance and transferral of knowledge, rights and power. Yolnju imagery is neither static nor pre-determined. It is negotiated, created, embodied, maintained and experienced through movement and in processes that make it "visible". These findings have implications for anthropological models of totemis...

Despite the significance that Australian Indigenous people in general give to the meaning and use of proper names of people and places and to the action of naming in cosmogonic events, with some exceptions this neglect continues today.l Thomson explains this dearth of research by the secrecy and the sacredness of proper names and toponyms which derive from their ancestral associations and by the rules of avoiding names in everyday life. However, like Keith Basso (1988: 103), I am inclined to suggest that this neglect is the reflection of the prevailing preoccupation of anthropologists and linguists with the semantico-referential meanings and functions of names and language rather than with the culturally shared notions and images all names evoke, provoke and embody in the creative dialogue that people establish and continu...
