A Death in the Rainforest: How a Language and a Way of Life Came to an End in Papua New Guinea Book
Algonquin Books, 2019.
@book{Kulick2019bb,
title = {A Death in the Rainforest: How a Language and a Way of Life Came to an End in Papua New Guinea},
author = {Don Kulick},
year = {2019},
date = {2019-06-18},
publisher = {Algonquin Books},
abstract = {As a young anthropologist, Don Kulick went to the tiny village of Gapun in New Guinea to document the death of the native language, Tayap. He arrived knowing that you can’t study a language without understanding the daily lives of the people who speak it: how they talk to their children, how they argue, how they gossip, how they joke. Over the course of thirty years, he returned again and again to document Tayap before it disappeared entirely, and he found himself inexorably drawn into their world, and implicated in their destiny. Kulick wanted to tell the story of Gapuners—one that went beyond the particulars and uses of their language—that took full stock of their vanishing culture. This book takes us inside the village as he came to know it, revealing what it is like to live in a difficult-to-get-to village of two hundred people, carved out like a cleft in the middle of a tropical rainforest. But A Death in the Rainforest is also an illuminating look at the impact of white society on the farthest reaches of the globe—and the story of why this anthropologist realized finally that he had to give up his study of this language and this village.},

publisher = {Boston/Berlin: de Gruyter},
abstract = {Tayap is a small, previously undocumented Papuan language, spoken in a singlevillage called Gapun, in the lower Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea. Thelanguage is an isolate, unrelated to any other in the area. Furthermore, Tayap isdying. Fewer than fifty speakers actively command it today.Based on linguistic anthropological work conducted over the course of thirtyyears, this book describes the grammar of the language, detailing its phonology,morphology and syntax. It devotes particular attention to verbs, which are themost elaborated area of the grammar, and which are complex, fusional andmassively suppletive.The book also provides a full Tayap-English-Tok Pisindictionary.A particularly innovative contribution is the detailed discussions of howTayap’'s grammar is dissolving in the language of young speakers. The bookexemplifies how the complex structures in fluent speakers’ Tayap are reduced orreanalyzed by younger speakers.This grammar and dictionary should therefore be a valuable resource for anyoneinterested in the mechanics of how languages disappear. The fact that it is thesole documentation of this unique Papuan language should also make it ofinterest to areal specialists and language typologists.},

abstract = {Since the demise in the 1980s of research by psychologists who attempted to teach human language to apes, a range of other perspectives has arisen that explore how humans can communicate with animals and what the possibility of such communication means. Sociologists interested in symbolic interactionism, anthropologists writing about ontology, equestrian and canine trainers, people with autism who say they understand animals because they think like animals, and a ragbag of sundry New Age women who claim to be able to converse with animals through telepathy have started discussing human- animal communication in ways that recast the whole point of thinking about it. This review charts how interest in human-animal communication has moved from a concern with cognition to a concern with ethics, and it discusses the similarities and differences that exist among the range of writing on this topic.},

New introduction to reprint of the article “The gender of Brazilian transgendered prostitutes” Book Chapter

publisher = {Harrington Park Press},
abstract = {The essay discusses how an analysis of the gendered practices of Brazilian transgendered prostitutes (travestis) can illuminate the ways in which gender in Latin America is bound up with sexuality. The article suggests that the particular configurations of sex, gender, and sexuality in Brazil and other Latin American societies differ importantly from the dominant configurations in northern Europe and North America and generate different arrangements of gender, consisting not of men and women, but of men and not-men.},
