Journal Title: Etnografia. Praktyki. Teorie. Doświadczenia / Ethnography. Practices, Theories, Experiences - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
In this text, I intend to demonstrate the commonalities and differences of traditional cul- ture of the indigenous people of Australia and Oceania in the historical and comparative perspective, with special focus on the so-called material culture . This synthesis comprises the indigenous people inhabiting Australia, New Guinea and Oceania (Melanesia, Micro- nesia and Polynesia), followed by a reflection on whether there are cultural traits (espe- cially in the material aspect) that are common to these three enormous cultural complexes .
