DANCE AND HUMAN HISTORY 056735
This summary of a ten-year cross cultural study of dance uses a system for the analysis of dance movements (choreometrics), revealing inter- esting parallels with cultural development. Dance may be analyzed by the "trace forms," that is, whether movement is one-dimensional (lin- ear), two-dimensional (curvilinear) or three-dimensional (spiral). Dance movements are found to respond to three variables: climate, method of food production and the sexual division of labor. Linear movement and solid trunk style are characteristics of colder climates and of cultures using stone, bone and wood tools. Curvilinear move- ment and articulated or multi-trunk style are characteristic of warmer climates and of cultures in which the use of metal is prevalent in tool making.

DEAD BIRDS PARTS I AND II 057160
For the Dani people, living in the high mountains of Western New Guinea, DEAD BIRDS, has a meaning which is both immediate and allegori cal. In the Dani language, DEAD BIRDS, is a term used for a person killed by the enemy. The enemy is any neighboring group of the Dani clan who engage in continual formal battles and less frequent but more deadly raids against one another. When a warrior is killed in battle, or a woman or child loses their life in a raid, the victors celebrate and the victims mourn and plan revenge. Each death must be revenged for the ghosts of the slain comrades are satisfied only when an enemy is slain. The other, more poetic meaning of DEAD BIRDS is taken from the Dani belief that people, because they are like birds, must die.
