The book is a long-term study of the religious behaviour of the Nuaulu, a people of the island of Seram in the Indonesian province of Maluku. Based on an ethnographic study, this book reports on Nuaulu ritual practices over a 30 year period, comparing different categories of event in terms of frequency and periodicity. It seeks to identify the influencing factors and the consequences for continuity.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Ellen is currently in the School of Anthropology and Conservation at the University of Kent, a Fellow of the British Academy, and past president of the Royal Anthropological Institute between 2007 and 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Further details of the book can be found at:\u2028 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kitlv.nl\/book\/show\/1325\">http:\/\/www.kitlv.nl\/book\/show\/1325<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uhpress.hawaii.edu\/p-8846-9789067183918.aspx\">http:\/\/www.uhpress.hawaii.edu\/p-8846-9789067183918.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roy Ellen, Professor of Anthropology and Human Ecology has recently published a new book called \u201cNuaulu Religious Practices: the frequency and reproduction of rituals in &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/2012\/09\/21\/professor-roy-ellen-publishes-new-book-on-nuaulu-religious-practices\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2775,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124,6600],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2775"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":705,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663\/revisions\/705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/sac-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
