Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study is primarily an exploration of the communication
system as an instrument of social inquiry and it provides a detailed ethnographic
examination of conflict management on the small island of Yanuyanu in the southern Lau
group of Fiji. Focusing on the problem of conflict management in Lau society, Arno explores
'…the linkage between everyday communication about conflict, through talk, and other forms
of message exchange among individuals and groups, and large scale societal conflicts and
the institutions that shape societal change…' (p.xix). In addition Arno combines
ethnography and theory, developing in the process a theory of the relationship between
conflict and communication that demands ethnography as a theoretical necessity.
